Stew Meat Blues

A man say I had something, look like new

He want me to credit him for some of my stew

Say he's goin' up the river, try to sell his stack

He would pay me for my stuff, when the boat get back

Now you can go on up the river, man and sell your sack

You can pay me for my stew, when the boat get back

I've got good stew, and it's got to be sold

The price ain't high, I wanna get you told

Go on up the river, man and sell your sack

It'll be stew meat here, baby when the boat get back

Now look here man, what you want me to do?

Give you my stew meat, and credit you too

You go on up the river, try and sell your sack

'Cause I have my stew meat here, when the boat get back

I credit one man, it was to my sorrow

It's cash today, credit tomorrow

So hurry up the river, baby and try to sell your sack

It's gonna be meat here, when that boat get back

Now it's ashes to ashes, dust to dust

You try my stuff one time, you can't get enough

So go on up the river, man and sell your sack

'Cause the stuff will be here, baby when the boat get back
