—Prince Albert Hunt
Blues in a bottle, blues in a bottle,
Where do you think you're at pretty mama,
Blues in a bottle, where do you think you're at?
You went and kicked my dog, and
Now you drowned my cat. (sat on my hat)
Going to Chattanoogy, Going to Chattanoogy,
See my ponies run, pretty mama.
Going to Chattanoody, to see my ponies run.
If I win a prize, going to give my baby some.
Rooster chews tobacco, rooster chews tobacco,
The hen uses snuff, pretty mama.
The rooster chews tobacco, and the hen uses snuff.
The baby chickens don't use nothing, they just strut their stuff.
Goin to a silly party, goin to a silly party
Sorry I can't take you, pretty mama.
Going to a silly party, sorry I can't take you.
I just can't abide no woman goes 'round sniffin' glue.
more verses:
Blues in a bottle, blues in a bottle,
Stopper in my hand, pretty mama.
Blues in a bottle, stopper in my hand.
I'm going back to Fort Worth, find me another man.
Dig your 'taters, go dig your 'taters,
It's 'tater digging time, pretty mama.
Go dig your 'taters, it's 'tater digging time.
Old man Jack Frost done and killed your vine.
Asked my baby, asked my baby,
Could she stand to see me cry, pretty mama.
Asked my baby, could she stand to see me cry.
Says, "Old black daddy, I can stand to see you die."
