Topic: Uncle Bud Walker - Look Here Mama Blues lyrics help!

[Oscar Wolf]

This is what I have:

Uncle Bud Walker - Look Here Mama Blues

Hey mama, now... I wanna tell you, "what I knew about you"??
I tell you woman, "what I knew about you"??

I believe to my soul my gal got a black cat bone
I believe to my soul my gal got a black cat bone
"said when I leave it sure come creepin on"?

I wonder what's the matter with my rider here
I wonder what's the matter with my rider here
so you don't need my blues and drive me away from here

aaaaaaa... I ain't goin to sing this down, baby the way you turn me around
I met the blues mama, when the sun goes down
I declare to god I never take you down

I ain't gonna stay here mama ain't no worry
I ain't gonna stay here mama ain't no worry
I'm gonna leave up to the country buy me a rocking chair

Oh look a here mama, what do you try to do
Oh look a here mama, what do you try to do
I believe to my soul you, break my heart in two

(The last verse I don't know what he's singin', somethin about It rained five days..?,but the last line seem pretty clear it's:

-Aw let me tell you what I used to be

Thanks!

Hi coco,
I'm not sure if I have a recording of "Look Here Mama Blues", but I will check when I'm in my teaching space this week, and if I hear anything that seems helpful, I will post it.
All best,
Johnm

Hi coco,
I listened to a version of this song that was posted on youtube.  Much of what I heard is the same as what you heard.  There are a few differences:
For the intro I heard:
  Hey, mama, now
   I want to tell you, well, I know about him
   I tell you, mama, I don't know about you

In the fourth verse I heard:
   Ahhhhh, Ain't gonna sing this down, mama, the way you turn me 'round
   I feel those blues, mama, when the sun go down
   I declare to God, I'll never shake you down

Fifth verse I heard:
   I ain't gon' stay here, mama, and nowhere else
   I ain't gon' stay here, mama, and nowhere else
   I gonna live in the country, buy me a rocking chair, hey, hey

The last verse sounded like:
   It rained five days, all in the dark for me
   It rained five days, honey, dark with me
   Oh, let me tell you, what my used-to-be

Sorry this isn't more help.  Uncle Bud Walked was really country.

All best,
Johnm

Hi coco,

I listened as well and couldn't hear anything comprehensible in the problem spots. Like John said, Uncle Bud was definitely country. My username has given me no powers of interpretation here.

Thank you folks,   it's the best approach we have by the way, I been tryin to learn the guitar work and I'm gonna try to play it with these lyrics.

Yeah he was really country!
