Lonnie Johnson - Jersey Belle Blues (1938) lyrics

rate me

My nights is so lonely, days is so dog gone long.

My bedroom is so lonely, every dog gone thing is wrong.

You know I ain’t had no milk and butter, since my Jersey Belle’s been gone.

My milk cow has been gone, three long weeks today.

I’m wonderin’, what is keepin’ my Jersey Belle away?

If I ever get my Jersey Belle back, she’ll never go ‘way no more.

I know my Jersey Belle, boys by the way she low.

She’ll call me. She ‘s call me so many times before.

If I ever get her back home again, I’ll never let my Jersey Belle leave no more.

I’ve got a good milk cow, but her head is hard like a block of wood.

She ‘s a number one Jersey cow, but her head is like a block of wood.

Boys, it’s a mighty tough titty, but the milk is so dog gone good.

I know my Jersey Belle, by the way she chew her cud.

She kicks over the milk all the time, she won’t be gentle like a good cow should.

Boys, it’s a very tough titty, but the milk is so dog gone good.
