Ash Tray Blues

Ash Tray Blues-Papa Charlie Jackson
E flat position, standard tuning

She's my baby, she's a lady, oh, honey bee
Thinking about my little Ash Tray Blues

Ah baby, ah lady, come get me so true
Because I'm thinking about my little Ash Tray Blues

Yes, I'm thinking 'bout the Ash Tray Blues
Ain't got no time to lose
Sweet baby, don't leave me with the blues

SPOKEN: I ain't talkin' to one, I ain't talkin' to two
I'm talkin' to the captain and the whole doggone crew.
SUNG: I'm thinking about my little Ash Tray Blues

Deet doh doh dee doh dee doh doh doh
Dohdle-oh doh doh
Dohdle, dee doh, doh dee doh doh
Dee dohdle-oh doh, dee dohdley doh doh do
Dohdle-oh doh, dohdle-oh doh
Dohdle-oh doh doh
I'm thinking about my little Ash Tray Blues

SPOKEN: Yes, she smokes a cigarette, throws her ashes in the tray
She's a good woman, she likes to have her way
SUNG: She's still thinking about the Ash Tray Blues

Oh baby, oh lady, come get your babe
I'm thinking about my little Ash Tray Blues

I'm going away, won't be long
You'll look for me, I'll be gone
I'm thinking about my little Ash Tray Blues
