INTRO PIANO/GUITAR SOLO

I let you burn my biscuits, and fill my coffee full of sand
I let you burn my biscuits, and fill my coffee full of sand
And, now you take my money, and give it to another man

I let you run around, and stay up all night to dance
I let you run around, and stay up all night to dance
Now, you’re tryin’ to act like, mama, you wanna wear the pants

You went down to Memphis, found a butter-and-egg man there
You went down to Memphis, found a butter-and-egg man there
And, now you’re tryin’ to give, your regular man the air

PIANO/GUITAR SOLO 2x

I used to sleep on clean sheets, but I don’t do that no more
I used to sleep on clean sheets, but I don’t do that no more
Lord, I can’t go in your bedroom, you make me sleep on the floor

You treat me lowdown and dirty, baby, that is the fact
Lord, you treat me lowdown and dirty, baby, that is the fact
And, now you’re tryin’ to quit me, and I ain’t gonna stand for that

Johnm:
Thanks for posting that song, Harry. I sure like Charlie Spand's singing, and Josh White demonstrates his comfort and wealth of ideas playing in Vestapol.
All best,
Johnm
