Goin’ to Brownsville

Sleepy John Estes, Furry Lewis

[Verse 1]
I'm-a goin’ to Brownsville, I'm gon' take that right hand road
I’m goin' to Brownsville, I'll take that right hand road baby
I ain't gon' stop walkin' till I reach my baby's door

[Verse 2]
Well that woman I love, she got great, long, curly hair
I say the woman I'm lovin’, she got that ol’ great, long, curly hair
Oh but her mother and her father don't, do not allow me there

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well I see your doney, Lord, make me think of mine
I see your doney, well, make me think of mine
I try to start a conversation, try to keep from cryin’
Try to keep from cryin' baby

[Verse 4]
Well I know you didn't want me when you laid down 'cross my bed
I know you didn’t want me, Lawd, you laid down 'cross my bed baby
Lawd you was drinkin' your white lightnin', talkin' all outside your head

[Verse 5]
Say now what you gonna do when your troubles get like mine?
What you gonna do when your troubles get like mine?
Well lay your head upon a lonesome railroad tie
I'm goin' to Brownsville

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 6]
I'm gonna write me a letter, gonna mail it in the air
I'm gonna write me a letter, Lord, I'm gonna mail it in the air
If a man can stay here, he can stay most anywhere
Aw where you goin'?

[Verse 1]
I'm goin' to Brownsville, I'm gon' take that right hand road
That right turn
I'm goin' to Brownsville, I'll take that right hand road
And I ain't gon' stop walkin' till I reach my baby's door
