Slippin' 'roun' the corner

Ursprung und Original: Pneumonia Blues von Blind Lemon Jefferson, ca. 1925

Achin' all over, believe I got pneumonia this time
It's all on account of that low-down girl of mine

Slippin' 'roun' the corner, runnin' up alleys too :||

I went watchin' my woman, trying to see what she's goin' to do.

Sit down on the street on a cold dark stormy night. :||

Tryin' to see if my good girl she's goin' home all right.

I believe she's found something that probably made her fall.

She must did found something and I believe made her fall.

I stood out in the cold all night, and she didn't come home at all.

Peach orchard mama, you swore nowbody’d pick your fruit but me. :||

I found three kid men shakin' down your peaches free.

One man bought your groceries, another joker paid your rent. :||

While I was workin' your orchard and giving you every cent.
