Mean Old Frisco Blues
Arthur Crudup
Well, that mean old dirty Frisco
And that low down Santa Fe
Mean old Frisco and that low down Santa Fe
You know they take my girl away
Lord, and they blow back out on me
Well, my mama, she done told me
And my papa told me too
Mama told me and my papa told me too
A woman that gets in your face
Lord, she ain't no friend for you
Well, I'm goin' away now, baby
And I won't be back until fall
Goin' away, baby, Lord, I won't be back till fall
If I don't come back by then
Lord, I won't be back at all
Well, that mean old dirty Frisco
And that low down Santa Fe
Mean old Frisco and that low down Santa Fe
Gonna take my girl away
Lord, and blow back out on me
