Sonny Boy's Jump
Willie Williamson
When my baby left me
My baby left me a mule to ride
When my baby left me
My baby left me a mule to ride
Now when the train left the station
My mule laid down an died
You know I sent my baby
You know, a brand new twenty dollar bill
You know I sent my baby
You know a brand new twenty dollar bill
Now if that don't bring her back
I'm sho' my shotgun will
Now if I can't come in
Let me sit down in front of your do'
Now if I can't come in
Let me sit down in front of your do'
I'll leave so early in the mo'nin
Your real man would never know
Lake Michigan ain't no river
Chicago ain't no hill town
Lake Michigan ain't no river
An Chicago ain't no hill in town
But if I feel this-a way tomorrow
I swear I'll be Memphis bound
