Poor Black Mattie Lyrics

Poor Black Mattie ain't got a change in clothes
Girl got drunk, close that door

Poor Black Mattie ain't got change o' clothes
Girl got drunk, throwed her clothes outdoor


Goin' to Memphis, see the World's Fair

Reason I'm goin', baby, there

Goin' to Memphis, see the World's Fair

Reason I'm goin', know my baby there


Need no heater fireplace by my bed
Women I got cherry red
Need no heater fireplace by my bed

Woman I got, keep me cherry red

Woman I got, keep me cherry red
