Here's my take:
LONG LONESOME BLUES
by Blind Lemon Jefferson
========================
I walked from Dallas, I walked to Wichita Falls
I say I walked from Dallas, I walked to Wichita Falls
Hadn' a' lost my sugar, I wasn't gonna walk at all.
Some women see you coming, man, they go get their rocker chair
Women see you coming, go get their rocker chair
I want a foolish man to make out his wagon here.
So cold in China the birds can't hardly stand
So cold in China birds can't hardly stand
You done make me mad, baby, broke my diamond ring.
Hey mama mama papa papa dee love a-do love you doggone it ... talking to you mama papa do love a- do love you
What you cryin' 'bout, baby, papa don't care what you do.
[Well] I know my baby she gon' jump and shout
I say I know my baby she gon' jump and shout
When she gets a letter Lemon have rolled them [up] two days out.
Woman if you don't love me just be frank and tell me so
I say if you don't love me be frank and tell me so
So I can leave your town, hang crepe on your door.
Said baby what's a matter, papa Lemon can't get no mail
Said baby what's a matter, papa Lemon can't get no mail
Mama [said] last night pulled a black cat 'cross your trail.
I said fair brown, tell me where'd you stay last night
Said fair brown, where'd you stay last night
Your hair's all down, you know you ain't talkin' right.
