Well, I wrote
you a letter, and
I put it in your front yard.
Well, I wrote you a letter,
and I put it in your front yard.
I'd really love to come and see you,
but your man's done got me
bored.
Well,
don't come to Memphis.
Meet me in Birmingham.
Don't come to Memphis.
Meet me in Birmingham.
Well,
I'll meet you some lonesome day.
We'll walk hand in hand.
What you want with a woman
who won't do anything you say.
What you
want with a woman who won't do anything you say.
What you want with a rooster when he won't crow for a day.
Hey.
Well,
when you see two women walking hand in hand,
when you see two women walking hand in hand,
you can bet your bottom dollar one of
them's run off with the other one's man.
I'll see you someday,
someday,
oh, blue, blue.
Well, someday,
someday,
I'll lose my blues.
And I'll see you some cold morning down in Newport News.
