T-Bone Steak Blues

by Yank Rachell

on Complete Recorded Works in Chronological Order, Volume 1: 24 September 1929 to 2 August 1937 (1990)

Say you talkin' 'bout your red ripe tomato, I'm crazy 'bout my T-bone steak
Say you talkin' 'bout your red ripe tomato, I'm crazy 'bout my T-bone steak
Said I'm gon' find me a faro, to share my Cadillac 8

I got the railroad blues, the boxcars on my mind
I got the railroad blues, the boxcars on my mind
And that girl I lovin', she sure done left this town

Say if I had wings, like a bullfrog on a pond
Say if I had wings, like a bullfrog on a pond
I would rise right chere, light in sweet mama's arms

You know once ain't forever, you know, babe, two, Lord, ain't but twice
You know once ain't forever, you know, babe, two, Lord, ain't but twice
But you women all get a good man, you don't know how to treat him right

Say you mistreat me, mama, and that's the way you do
Say you mistreat me now, mama, you know and that's the way you do
But you gon' want me some of these mornin's, and poor James won't have you
