One and Two Blues

Lyrics

Our love starts way down home
 Below the Dixon line
 You pick cotton down on the farm
 And everything were fine
 But things have changed while you stayed still
 You are in the rear
 So you have to catch up soon
 Or there'll be some changes made
 I've got them one and two blues, what I can't lose
 They haunt me night and day
 And if you can't bring more, daddy, there's the door
 That small change won't pay
 If you want me to love you, heap much
 Let mama feel that money touch
 From now on, small change I refuse
 Mama's got them one and two blues
 ♪
 Quit messin' around, you hear what I say
 Start in to bringin' eight hours a day
 If you must be a rat, here's the fact
 Be a long-tailed one, have plenty of jack
 Small change I refuse
 Mama's got them one and two blues
 I scream, mama's got them one and two blues
