Letra A To Z Blues - Josie Miles, Billy Higgins

A To Z Blues

J: Yes looka here, every night, when you come home from work
You don’t do nothin' but stomp and fight
B: Is that so?
Now you left last night at half past eight
J: Yes and I come home this mornin' at four
B: And you had the nerve to bring another man
Right smack up to my door
J: Don’t let that worry you old gal (?)
Now man, I’m through with you
B: Through with me?
J: Yessir
B: Before you go, here’s what I’m goin' to do
J: What you gonna do, boy?
B: I’m gonna cut your nappy head four diff’rent ways
Long, short, deep and wide
When I get through usin' my black-handled razor
You know you’re gonna take a ride
J: If you can catch me
B: I’m gonna cut A B C D
In the top of your head
That’s gonna be treatin' you nice
And you ain’t gonna be dead
I’m gonna cut E F G
Right across your face
H I J K
That where runnin' takes place
I’m gonna cut L M N
'Cross both of your arms
You gonna sell shoestrings and pencils
Your whole life long
I’m gonna cut O P Q
That means trouble to you
I’m gonna grab you too and turn you
Ev’ry way but loose
I’m gonna cut R S T
Just to hear you cry
That’s the last time tears
Are gonna run from both of your eyes
I’m gonna cut U V W
On the bottom of your feet
And that’s the last time you’ll walk down
Thirty-fifth Street
I’m gonna mark you 'cross your bosom
With X Y Z
When I get through with alphabet
You’ll stop messin' with me
