YAZOO BOTTOM MESSAROUND ?? SPENCER BOHREN, 1996 [adapted from traditional sources]
Goin' to Yazoo Bottom, goin' to Margarite's
You can mail a letter there, but I go for the eats
- chorus -
Oh, Mama! Papa's got them Yazoo Bottom Blues
Yes, Mama! Papa's got them Yazoo Bottom Blues
She can bring you whiskey, or she can bring you tea
Anything she serves out there, it's alright with me
- chorus -
Might be pickin' cotton, could be pullin weeds
When the sun gets hot you got to go to Margarite's
- chorus -
Goin' down by the river, where the cotton grows
Margarite's up early she's been cookin' up a show
