Texas Tornado Blues

by Big Bill Broonzy

on Vol. 2: The Post-War Years (2007), Big Bill's Blues (1957)

My baby's a Texas tornado, you know she howls just like the wind
My baby's a Texas tornado, oh man she howls just like the wind
You know she blows the house down, Oh lord if I ask her where she been

Her eyes flashed like lightning, she thunders when she talks
She grab hold to a man, she turn him loose I declare he can't walk
My baby's a Texas tornado, Lord she howls just like the wind
She'd blow the house down, oh Lord if I ask her where she's been

She was born in the mountain, raised down by the sea
I declare she's a Texas tornado, when she grabs a hold of me
My baby's a Texas tornado, yes she howls just like the wind
Oh she would blow the house down, Oh lord if I even ask her where she's been

She don't drink no whiskey, she don't care for beer and wine
Lord but when she smokes that local weed, I think she loses her mind
My baby's a Texas tornado, yeah she howls just like the wind
Oh she would blow the house down, oh Lord if I ask her where she's been

.... around here, just like little honey bee
Now when she pops her new fangled boy, I declare they all form on her knee

My baby's a Texas tornado, Lord she howls just like the wind
She would blow the house down, oh Lord if I even ask her where she's been
