Lyrics for Lonesome Home Blues

Would you wash my jumper, starch my overalls? I'm gon' find my woman, said, she's in the world somewhere I wonder, do my good gal think of me? I wonder, do my good gal think of po' me? Cryin', if she did she would sure Lord, feel my care Honey it's good to you, mama, sure Lord killin' me Honey it's good to you, mama, sure Lord killin' po' me It's good to you, mama, but it's sure Lord killin' me I woke this mornin', said my mornin' prayer I woke this mornin' said my mornin' prayer I ain't got no woman, to speak on my behalf Cryin' good to you, sure Lord killin' me Honey it's good to you, mama, sure Lord killin' po' me It's good to you, mama, says it's sure Lord killin' me Would you wash my jumper, starch my overalls? Would you wash my jumper, starch my overalls? I'm gon' find my woman, said she's in the world somewhere Would you wash my jumper, starch my overalls?
