Downtown Blues (Featuring Maria Muldaur)

Hey, listen mama, the world is done gone away
Hey, listen mama, the world is done gone away
I’ve got a bad-luck deal, get me troubles every day
SOLO
And I’m goin', I’m goin', put black crepe on your door
And I’m goin', I’m goin', pin a black crepe on your door
Tell 'er your man ain’t dead, just ain’t come to your house no more
And I’m goin' downtown, gon' stay 'round there 'til dark
And I’m goin' downtown, gonna stay 'round there 'til dark
I don’t want no trouble, don’t want you to drive me on SOLO, 2 PASSES
Now when you lay down at night, set down early and try to take your rest
Now when you lay down at night, lay down early, try to take your rest
You get a call 'bout four o’clock, wake up and try to do your best
I’ve got a gal in the country, I’ve got two that stays in town
I’ve got a girl in the country, I’ve got two that stays in town
Reason, I can feel it so careful, 'cause nar' one don’t thrown me down
