Atlanta Moan

Atlanta Moan-Barbecue Bob
Barbecue Bob, vocal and guitar in Vestapol tuning, with a slide

Oh, nobody knows Atlanta like I do
Oh, nobody knows Atlanta like I do
But the reason I know it, I travelled it through and through

If you've got a good woman, this a lesson I give to you
Oh, if you've got a good woman, lesson I give to you
Don't you take her to Atlanta, the mens'll take her 'way from you

Oh, they taken my woman, hurt me to the bone
Lord, they taken my woman, hurt me to the bone
That's the reason why you hear me cry and moan

HUMMED VERSE

I taken one woman, believe me, I am true
Lord, I taken one woman, believe me, I am true
Just for what you do, coming home to you

Oh, don't you hear that steamboat whistle blow?
Oh, don't you hear that steamboat whistle blow?
And it blowed just like it never blowed before

That's all right, baby, 'bout how you run around
Oh, that's all right, baby, how you run around
But your heart'll strike sorrow, when Bob gets back to town

SOLO

HUMMED VERSE

If you taken my woman, I won't get mad with you
Oh, if you take my woman, I won't get mad with you
Like you take her from me, somebody sure take her from you
