Lyrics for Black Mare Blues (Take 1)

Hitch up my buggy, saddle up my black mare, saddle my black mare Hitch up my buggy, saddle up my black mare Find my woman, know she's out in the world somewhere I been drinkin' all night, drank the whole night long, drank the whole night long I been drinkin' all night baby, and the night before I been drinkin', and I, I ain't got sober yet Well I'm goin' back home, fall down on my knees, fall down on my knees I'm goin' back home, goin' fall down on my knees Goin' acknowledge, mama, that's the end of me Mmmmmm, I ain't goin' stay no more, ain't goin' stay here no more Mmmmmm, ain't goin' stay here no more Saw you last night, mama, well a, and the night before Well you gonna have 'em rounders of your own, rounders of your own You gonna have 'em rounders of your own
