Gus Cannon - Tired Chicken Blues lyrics

Said I'm going downtown, baby, won't be gone so long (spoken: Have mercy, have mercy) Said I'm going downtown, baby, won't be gone so long (Have mercy, have mercy) Said I'm tired and worryin', bound to sing this song (Have mercy) Play it Mr. Cannon, play it now. Oh play that harp Noah, play it, boy, play it Now when I stayed at home, baby, you don't treat me right (Have mercy, have mercy) When I stayed at home, baby, you don't treat me right (Aww, have mercy, have mercy) The best time I have, baby, when you's outta my sight (Have mercy) Spoken: Play that harp, Mr. Noah, play it, play it, play it Get right on that jug now, Joe Awww, have mercy Said I'm tired of chicken, baby lord I'm tired of steak (Have mercy, have mercy) Said I'm tired of chicken, baby I'm tired of steak (Have mercy, have mercy) I had a chill last night, Woods, now I'm too tired to shake (Have mercy, have mercy) Play it now
