... done broke your heart
Put you out told you to go
You'll never come back to her house no more
Now you' here crying throw me down
You know you' the foolishest man in town
You keep on talking Mrs Hill ...
Said you'll never get ...
ut don't need no airy man
I want these brownses on the ... train
To thoroughly understand
That you can bring me my wood you can bring me my food
You can iron my shirts you can dress my clothes
You can get yourself together you' compared with the weather
I don't need no airy man
... just the other day
She walked all out on State Street
Just to pass the time away
Said she walked to the hoss track darling babe
And these is the words she say
Gonna smoke her [rum hop] gonna drink her tea
Every time I bring her here for me
: I recently got a banjo-guitar, and would like
: to do Papa Charlie Jackson"s

: appreciate any help with the lyrics on it,
