Stocking Feet Blues Chicago, c. Oct. 1926
A position, pitched at Ab

Somebody just keep on calling me
Somebody just keeps on calling me
She got hair like a mermaid on the sea

She got up this morning come a-tippin’ ’cross the floor, said mama, in her lovin’ stocking feet
Honey, it’s fare thee, sweet papa fare thee well
I done all in the world I could tryin’ to get along with you

Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make it calm and easy, make it down by your door

I can't stay awake, I done cried the whole night long
I can't stay awake, I’ve cried the whole night long
The good woman I love, she done packed her trunk and gone

Don't mistreat me because I'm young and wild
Don't mistreat me because I'm young and wild
Sugar you ought to remember that you once was a child

I don't feel welcome and I don't care where I go
I don't feel welcome, I don't care where I go
This woman I love, she drove me from her door

Said fair brown, where did you stay last night
Said fair brown, where did you stay last night
Your hair's all down and you know you ain't talking right

I'm a stranger here, just come in on this train
Mm-mm-mm-mm, come in on the train
Won't some good man tell me some woman's name
