[00:00.00] Match Box Blues -Blind Lemon Jefferson
[00:14.881] How far to the river mama walk down by the sea
[00:22.911] How far to the river walk down by the sea
[00:31.231] I got those tadpoles and minnows all in over me
[00:39.681] Standing here wondering will a matchbox hold my clothes
[00:50.240] I'se sittin here wondering will a matchbox hold my clothes
[01:00.90] I ain't got so many matches but I got so far to go
[01:08.510] Lord Lord who may your manager be
[01:15.420] Hey mama who may your manager be
[01:24.720] Reason I ask so many questions
[01:26.720] Can't you make friends match for me
[01:33.620] I got a girl cross town she crochet all the time
[01:44.99] I got a girl cross town crochet all the time
[01:52.869] Mama if you don't quit crochet in you gunna lose your mind
[02:01.49] I wouldn'y mind marrying but I can't stand settling down
[02:11.699] I Don't mind marrying but Lord settling down
[02:20.319] I'm gonna act like a preacher so I can ride from town to town
[02:29.809] Well I'm leaving town but that won't make me stay
[02:39.159] I leaving town crying won't make me stay
[02:48.289] Baby the more you cry the farther you drive me away
