Scarey Day Blues by Georgia Bill (Blind Willie McTell)

Blind Willie McTell - Scary Day Blues; E position, standard tuning.

I wants to wait around here baby, until your fried pie’ll get done

Because I think I got a nickel, I wants to buy me one

I wonder, could I find a woman, to do like my last rider done

Wonder, could I find a woman, to do just like my last rider done

She kep' it all for her daddy, she didn’t give nobody none

Said, my baby got a bed, it shines like a morning star

My good mama got a bed, it shines like a morning star

And when I crawls in the middle, it rides me like a Cadillac car

My good gal got a mojo, she tryin’ to keep it hid

My good woman got a mojo, she tryin’ to keep it hid

But Georgia Bill got somethin', to find that mojo with

I says, she got that mojo and she won’t let me see

And every time I start to lovin’, she try to put them jinx on me

SOLO (Spoken during solo: Play it a little bit for me Mr. So 'n' So for I know you like it)

Well, she shakes it like the Central, she wobble like the L&N

I say she shake it like the Central, she wobble like the L&N

Well, she’s a hot shot mama, and I’m scared to tell her where I been

Said, my baby got somethin', she won’t tell her daddy what it is

My good mama got somethin', she won’t tell her papa what it is

And when I crawls in my bed, I just can’t keep my black self still

Well, I done got reckless and I broke my mama’s rule, Lord, Lord

Well, I done got reckless and I broke my baby’s rule

I been wanderin’ 'round in Georgia with these doggone scary day blues
