Oh Lacey Belle, don`t `llow me to do nothin`
Nothin` but just lay up in the bed an read, now
A-Lacey Belle, don`t `llow me to do nothin`, here
Nothin` but just lay up in the bed an read, now
She said Sonny Boy, what the oiuja warn about some other woman, yeah?`
Just so long as you got me, now?
Don`t you know this Lacey Belle, she done quit me?
She done even throwed my trunk outdo`, now
Lord, don`t you know this Lacey Belle, done quit me, now?
She done even throw`ed my trunk outdo`
Now, she done got me to the place
Ya see, people I ain`t even got change clo`
`Alright Blind John`
(harmonica & instrumental)
`That what I`m talkin` about, isn`t it!`
Lord, my home ain`t here, now
Lacey Belle, I live away out in the west
Lord, my home ain`t here, now
Lacey Belle, I live way out in the west, now
I lives just the other side-a Smokey Mountain
And that`s where the eagle build her nest
Oh Lacey, I bet the next woman that I get, here
Won`t be trained to throw my trunk outdo`
Lord, I bet the next woman that I get, now
Blind John, she won`t be trained to throw my trunk outdo`s
Well now, she won`t get me to the place
That I won`t even have a change of clothes.
