Peetie Wheatstraw - Police Station Blues lyrics

rate me

Well-oh-well

Mama, now on some old rainy day

Hoo-hoo-um-mm

Babe, I see you some old rainy day

Well-well now, you're gonna be sorry

Hoo-hoo-um-um

Babe, now you walked away

Well-well, sun did rose

Mama, now just before the trees

I said now when the sun broke

Ooo-um-mm, just a'fore the trees

Well, now I went to the police station, ask them

Plan on gettin' me my little girl, please

Now-now-now, your days so lonesome

Mama, yo nights so dreadful long

Hoo, times can run me down

Hee-hoo-umm

Babe, now yo' nights so dreadful long

Well-well, spent so many lonesome days

Hoo-hoo-well, babe since I been gone

(guitar)

Well, babe tomorrow is Sunday

Hoo-hoo-umm

Baby, you may see me Christmas Eve

Hoo-hoo-well, know the meaning

I said honey, now tomorrow Sunday

Hee-hoo-ooo, next day was Christmas Eve

Well-well, have I got a present mama, babe

Und' your lil' Christmas tree?

Baby now, when are you gon' give me

Hoo-hoo-umm

Mama now things you promised me?

(Know the kind) know now I mean it

Hee-hee-umm

Mama now things you promised me?

Well-well, you know I don't see why

Baby now, you so hard on me.
