Sissy Man Blues (1935 Version)

I believe, I believe I'll go back home

I believe, I believe I'll go back home

Lord acknowledge to my good gal mama, Lord that I have done you wrong

Now I'm going to ring up China yeah

Man, see can I find my good gal over there

Now I'm going to ring up China yeah

Man, see can I find my good gal over there

Says the Good Book tells me,

That I got a good gal in this world some where

Oh and the church bells is toning yeah man, on one Sunday morning

Oh and the church bells is toning yeah man, on one Sunday morning

Hollering some old dirty deacon,

I mean rung that bell stole my gal and gone

And I woke up this mornin' with my pork grindin' business in my hand1

And I woke up this mornin' with my pork grindin' business in my hand

Lord if you can't send me no woman, please send me some sissy man

I'm going to sing these blues mama yeah

Man, and I'm going to lay them upon your shelf

I'm going to sing these blues mama yeah

Man, and I'm going to lay them upon your shelf

Lord you going to hear these blues again

Mama, well you sure got to sing them yourself
