blind willie mctell – three women blues lyrics

got three womens
yellow, brown and black
i got three womens
yellow, brown and black

it’ll take the governor of georgia
to judge one of these women i like

one for in the morning
one for late at night
one for in the morning
one for late at night

i got one for noontime
to treat your old daddy right

these blues at midnight
they don’t leave me till day
these blues at midnight
they don’t leave me till day

i didn’t have none of my three women
to drive these blues away

one is a memphis yellow
the other is a savannah brown
one is a memphis yellow
the other is a savannah brown

one is a statesboro dark skin
she’ll really turn your damper down

now if i had listen
to what my three women said
now if i had listen
to what my three women said

i’d a‑been home sleeping
in a doggone feather bed
