Ben Dewberry was a brave engineer
He told his fireman don't you ever fear
All I want is the water and coal
Put your head out the window, watch the drivers roll
Watch the drivers roll watch the drivers roll
Put your head out the window, watch the drivers
Roll

Down through the meadows, I was humming a song
Looking at the stars as I take my little julie back home

Watching, her eyes as I tell her of the day
The day that's gonna come when I'll take my little julie away

Come along, Julie
Follow the sun

Way out on the windswept desert, where nature favors no man
The buffalo found his brother, at rest on the sun-baked sand
He said, my Brother, what ails you, has sickness got you this way
But his brother never said, 'cause his brother was dead
Been dead since way last May

-Yodel-

Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts oh Lordy how they did love
Swore to be true to each other true as the stars above
He was her man he was doing her wrong
Frankie went down to the corner just for a bucket of beer
She says Mr Bartender has my loving Johnny been here
He's my man he was doing me wrong
I don't want cause you no trouble I ain't gonna tell you no lie
I saw your lover an hour ago with a gal named Nellie

I went down to the corner, just to meet my gal,
Saw her standing on the sidewalk, talking to my pal.
I strolled back to the bar room, to get another drink of gin.
Next thing I was reelin', rocking and drunk again.

Ref:Hay-ee-hay-hoo-a-ha-ha bo-hoo-hey-ho gamblin bar room blues

I kept drinking gin and ligour, to way up in the night,

(Honeycomb)
(Honeycomb)

Well it's a darn good life
And it's kinda funny
How the Lord made the bee
And the bee made the honey
And the honeybee lookin' for a home

Though you have refused to see me my dear
You'd rather I'd be all alone
Still I can't forget the kisses we knew
And the days when I called you my own

But you found another and you loved him too
My heart is broken I'm sad and I'm blue
I am sorry we met it's so hard to forget

In the Jailhouse Now
Первые упоминания о данной композиции относятся к началу 20 века, когда она использовалась в представлениях двух афро-американских актеров.
В 1928 году Джимми Роджерс сделал студийную запись In the Jailhouse Now, включив в песню свой знаменитый йодль (yodel).
После этого каверы песни выпускались множеством исполнителей.
Текст песни меняется, но в общих чертах она сначала повествует о парне Ramblin’ Bob, который любил азартные игры и из-за этого угодил в тюрьму. Дальше говорится о девушке по имени Сюзи, которую встретил рассказчик. С ней они начали проматывать деньги и в итоге оказались в тюрьме.
Такая вот незамысловатая история)))

Well, when I was a young man never been kissed
I got to thinkin' it over how much I had missed
So I got me a girl and I kissed her and then, and then
Oh, lordy, well I kissed 'er again

CHORUS
Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine

Make me a miracle
Make me a miracle
Make me a miracle my love

I'm only a drop
Make me a fountain
I'm only a hill
Make me a mountain

With friends around and even pals that I know are true
Still I'm lonely, homesick and blue
There's no one who can cheer me when I'm alone
Longing for my Mississippi home

Way down in the delta on that Mississippi shore
In that muddy water, I long to be once more
When night shadows creep about and the whippoorwill call

I had a gal, oh, what a gal, her name was Haydee Brown. I'd take
Her out, to ride about, when the moon was shining down. We'd sit
Alone, when we got home, out in the old porch swing. Then the dear
Little miss, would give me a kiss, while sweetly to her I would sing:
Oh, Haydee, my little lady, I love no one but you. Oh, Haydee, my
Little lady, won't you love me, too? We'll get married in June, and
Have a long honeymoon, then settle down for life. Oh, Haydee, my
Little lady, won't you be my wife?

(Yodel-ay-ee, oh-lay-ee, oh-lay-ee)

I got a bale of flour, Lord, I got a bucket of lard
I got a bale of flour, Lord, I got a bucket of lard
I ain't got no blues, got chickens in my back yard

(Yodel-ay-ee, lay-ee-ay, dee-yodel-ay-ee)

I'm a pistol packing papa, and when I walk down the street
You can hear those mamas shoutin': Don't turn your gun on me!
Now girls, I'm just a good guy, and I'm goin' to have my fun
And if you don't wanna smell my smoke, don't monkey with my gun!
Like a hobo when he's hungry; like a drunk man when he's full

I'm a pistol packing papa, I know how to shoot the bull
The hold-up men all know me, and they sure leave me be

Once I had a sweetheart,
A sweetheart brave and true.
His hair was dark and curly,
His loving eyes were blue.
He told me that he loved me,
And he often proved it so.
And he often came to see me,
When the ev'ning sun was low.

One day I met a wizard, many years ago.
He was very, very old. He was very very wise.
He told me a secret, many years ago:
How to live, how to love, how to win the golden prize.

Tell 'em what the wizard says. Tell 'em what the wizard says.
All you have to do is snap your fingers.
Make a wish and snap your fingers.

I love the women and I love 'em all the same

Lord I love the women and I love 'em all the same
G7 C
But I don't love nobody well enough to change her name

The women make a fool out of me

When a woman gets the blues she hangs her little head and cries
When a woman gets the blues she hangs her little head and cries
But when a man gets the blues he grabs a train and rides

Every time I see that lonesome railroad train
Every time I see that lonesome railroad train
It makes me wish I was going home again
[ yodel ]

I was happy, oh so happy
Down in Mississipi way
I was livin' with my papy
Fifteen years ago today

When I left him in the gloamin'
I recall I heard him say
You'll be sorry that you roamin'
