[00:01.54] Kansas City Papa---Lead Belly
[00:10.11] ...Kansas City, ain't it a pity
[00:16.24]
[00:17.61] Kansas City, b'lieve 'm 'bout to low' my line
[00:23.24] When I get to Kansas City I'm gonna blow my line
[00:27.17] I get to Kansas City I'll be hard to find
[00:30.99] In Kansas City, ain't it a pity
[00:36.32]
[00:37.76] Kansas City, believe 'm bout to low' my line
[00:42.07] Two women was jivin' with one another one day
[00:46.88] "You keep on talkin' til you make me think
[00:50.26] Your daddy was a bulldog and your mammy was a man"
[00:54.07] In Kansas City, wadn't it a pity
[00:59.69] Kansas City, b'lieve 'm 'bout to low' my line
[01:04.71]
[01:06.08] "You keep on talkin' til you make me mad
[01:08.47] I tell you 'bout the puppies that your sister had"
[01:12.68] In Kansas City, wadn't that a pity
[01:19.11] Kansas City, b'lieve 'm 'bout to low' my line
[01:23.36]
[01:42.39] Women in Tennessee Lord, doin' the Turkey Trot
[01:45.58] The women in Louisiana doing the Eagle Rock
[01:48.71] In Kansas City, wadn't it a pity
[01:54.78] Kansas City, b'lieve 'm bout to low' my line
[01:59.84] The funniest thing that I ever seen
[02:02.83] A tom cat stitchin' on a sewin' machine
[02:06.27] In Kansas City, wadn't it a pity
[02:11.96] Kansas City, b'lieve 'm bout to low' my line
[02:16.09]
[02:17.03] The funniest thing that I ever did see
[02:20.08] S'a polecat climbin' up a 'simmon tree
[02:23.40] In Kansas City, wadn't it a pity
[02:29.40] Kansas City, b'lieve 'm 'bout to low' my line
