Springtime coming : and the grass all growing green
And my time has come : where the blues don't worry me

There's so many women : there's so many different kinds
When one quit me : it's sure to worry my mind

My mama give me a lock : and my papa give me the key
Then after I know how : to lock them blues up for me

I got northern women : I got southern women too
I ain't going to tell the northern women : what the southern women can do
