Broken Hearted, Ragged and Dirty Too - Sleepy John Estes

I married my baby

Married her for myself

Then if I’s gon' keep her

Don’t want nobody else

Got to give an account

Just what

Whatcha do

Now depot agent

Don’t tell me no lie

Did my baby stop here?

Did she keep on ride?

Got to give an account

Just what

Whatcha do

Now I hate to hear

Illinois Central blow

When my feet get tickled

Makes me wanna go

Got to give an account

Just what

Watcha do

When a man does workin'

Know he’s doin' what’s right

Some old lowdown rouster

Tryin' to steal his wife

Got to give an account

Just what

Watcha do

Now I got up this mornin'

Couldn’t make no time

I didn’t have no blues

Never thought up any rhymes

Got to give an account

Just what

Watcha do

Now take me, baby

Won’t be mean no mo'

You can get all my lovin'

Let that black snake go

Got to give an account

Just what

Watcha you do

Now in the mo’nin'

Rag tied 'round her head

Ask to cook you a breakfast

Swears she’s near goin' dead

Got to give an account

Just what

What you do.
