Sleepy John Estes - Down South Blues lyrics

Now I'm goin' down South and I'm stayin' 'til winter is gone And when wintertime is gone, I might come back home Now I get up every mornin' and I walk up to 3rd and Beale Now I get up every mornin' and I walk up to 3rd and Beale And I'm just studyin' and I'm wonderin', Lord, just how to make a meal Now the peoples in Memphis, they all walkin' the streets up and down Now the peoples in Memphis, they all walkin' the streets up and down And you know the time is hard, peoples is starvin' all over the town Now I once have been a lover, baby, back in my young days Now I once have been a lover, baby, back in my young days But my baby was so mean, she done drove all my love away Now I got a girl in Brownsville, she lives down on Burlison Lane Now I got a girl in Brownsville, she lives down on Burlison Lane But my gal was so mean, I'm scared to call her name
