Loading...

follow me down
follow me down
follow me down by
mr. tom hughes’ town

this song was made when i was a boy
i put on long pants
i go down on fannin street and i goes into the bellhouse
the chicks is all again a-jumpin’ around me and drinkin’
and i was sittin’ there thinking
he says, “what is you thinkin’ about?”
i said, “i’m settin’ up a tune about fannin street”
he said, “let’s hear it”

my mama told me
“women in shreveport, son
gonna be the death of you”

i told my mama
“mama, you don’t know me
women in shreveport k!ll me
why don’t you let me?”

i broke my mama’s heart
when i broke my mama’s heart, she come in a-cryin’

i couldn’t stand to hear my mama cryin’, i go and fall on my knees
and beg her pardon for the words i said
i went to my mama, fell down on my knees
crying, “oh, lordy, mama
will you forgive me, please?”

i got a woman living on the backside of the jail
make an honest living by the working of her tail
