Blind Pete lyrics

Banty Rooster blues lyrics

Don't your house look lonesome when your biscuit-roller's gone?
Don't your house look lonesome biscuit-roller's gone?
Ain't got no mama to cheer you up *at home.*

You want a voice just like a mountain jack.
Hey, you want a voice just like a mountain jack.
*So* you can crawl on the mountain and call your pretty *woman* back.

I ain't no monkey, and you never seen me climb up no tree.
And I ain't no monkey, you never seen me climb up no tree.
Then I wonder why you want to make a monkey man out of me.

What make your rooster crow 'bout the dawn of day?
'Bout the dawn of day?
To let the men know that the good man gone away.

???

I don't want no chili, I don't want no soup.
Don't want no chili, I don't want no stew.
*By now* I don't want no woman ??? my money too.

If you be my brown, tell you what to do.
If you be my brown, tell you what to do.
*Rob that bank and fetch it, steal it,* bring it home to you.
