texas alexander - bottoms blues lyrics
take me out of this bottom, ‘fore the high water rise
take me out of this bottom, people, before the high
water rise
you know i ain’t no christian man and i don’t want to
be baptized
i went to church this morning, and they called on me to
pray
i went to church this morning, lord, they called on me
to pray
i fell down on my knees and forgot just what to say
i cried, “lord, my father, lord, our kingdom come”
“lord, my father, father, lord, our kingdom come”
“if you got any womens in heaven, will you please, sir,
save me one?”
dear god, i never been to heaven, but a black man sure
been told
lord, i never been to heaven, black man sure been told
they got women up there, they got their mouths crammed
full of gold
i want to build me a heaven, lord, a kingdom of my own
build me a heaven, lord, a kingdom of my own
so all these brownskin women can cl-ster around my
throne
you know a married woman, married woman, is the best
woman ever been born
i say a married woman is the best woman ever born
only trouble i have, tryin’ to keep my woman at home
