Rope Stretchin' Blues (Part 2)

Blind Arthur Blake

Don't trust no woman: Who mistreats her man
When you think she's in your kitchen cooking: She's got
A stranger by the hand

Ain't no need of you chasing women: Brother if you
Really haven't got the cash
Other men get all the chicken: And all you get is hash

I have a lot of woman: But I sure don't want one now
She always milks me dry: Better than you ever milk a cow

Mmm: Rope stretching all day long
I'm singing now mama: Because it won't be long

It wouldn't be so bad: If the rope would just get slack
I wouldn't mind at all: But I just got a crick in my
Back

When it's all over mama: And you're all alone by my side
Just keep the flies from buzzing by me: And then I will
Be satisfied
