Travelling Riverside Blues
[Intro]
Hey
That's right
[Verse 1]
Asked sweet mama, let me be her kid
She said, "You might get hurt if you don't keep it hid"
Well, I, I know my baby if I see her in the dark
I said I know my rider if I see her in the dark
[Verse 2]
Now, I'm going to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
Still barrel house, but it's on the riverside, yeah
I know my baby, Lord, I said, is really sloppy drunk
I know my mama, Lord, a brown-skin, but she ain't no plum
Uh-huh, see my baby, tell her, tell her hurry home
Had no loving since my baby been gone, yeah
See my baby, tell her hurry on home
I ain't had, Lord, my right mind
Since my rider's been gone
Hey, mama says she's my rider
I want to tell you she's my rider
I know you're mine, she's my rider
She ain't but sixteen, but she's my rider
I'm going to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
Anybody ask you and me met, I keep them satisfied
But, uh, see my baby, tell her, tell her to shake my milk
Ain't no love, Lord, since you nowhere
Ah, yeah
My, my, my, my
[Bridge]
Won't you come in my kitchen
[Verse 3]
She's a kindhearted lady
She studies evil all the time
She's a kindhearted woman
She studies evil all the time
Squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg
Squeeze it so hard I fall right out of bed
If you squeeze my lemon
Till the juice runs down my leg
I wonder if you know what I'm talking about
Oh, but the way that you squeeze it, girl
I swear I'm going to fall right out of bed
[Verse 4]
Ah, she's a good rider
Hey, yeah
She's my kindhearted lady
I'm going to take my rider by my side, yeah
I said her front teeth are lined with gold
She's got a mortgage on my body, got a lien on my soul
She's my brown-skin sugar plum
