Matchbox Blues by Blind Lemon Jefferson <br /><br />[This song was recorded many times, and has many verses,<br />with many variations on the words in the verses,<br />so depending on which recording you have, the verses<br />will vary. There are also different spoken introductions.<br />Below is one version, followed by some of the alternate <br />verses and intros. <br /><br />His diction was idiosyncratic, so some of the words given are guesses.]<br /><br />============<br /><br />MAIN VERSION<br /><br />How far to the river, mama, walk down by the sea<br />How far to the river, walk down by the sea<br />I got those tadpoles and minnows all in over me<br /><br />Standing here wonderin' will a matchbox hold my clothes<br />I'se sittin here wonderin' will a matchbox hold my clothes<br />I ain't got so many matches but I got so far to go<br /><br />Lord, Lord, who may your manager be?<br />Hey, mama, who may your manager be?<br />Reason I ask so many questions, can't you make friends match for me?<br /><br />I got a girl cross town she crochet all the time (or is it "coochies" as in hoochi-coochie?)<br />I got a girl cross town crochet all the time<br />Mama if you don't quit crochet-in you gunna lose your mind.<br /><br />I wouldn'y mind marryin', but I can't stand settlin' down<br />I Don't mind marryin', but Lord, settlin' down<br />I'm gonna act like a preacher so I can ride from town to town<br /><br />Well, I'm leavin' town, but that won't make me stay<br />I leavin' town, cryin' won't make me stay<br />baby, the more you cry, the farther you drive me away.<br /><br />=================<br /><br />Other verses and raps (who says rap is a modern art?):<br /><br />Girl 'cross town wanna be my teddy bear<br />Girl 'cross town wanna be my teddy bear<br />Put a string on me and I'll follow you everywhere<br /><br />[Got] a peg leg woman man she can't hardly get outdoors<br />I say a peg leg woman just can't hardly get outdoors<br />I [left] ...
