PHONOGRAPH BLUES (TAKE 2)

Beatrice got a phonograph
        and it won't say a lonesome word
Beatrice got a phonograph
        and it won't say a lonesome word
What evil have I done
        what a evil has the poor girl heard
Beatrice I love my phonograph
        but you have broke my windin' chain
Beatrice I love my phonograph
        but you have broke my windin' chain
And you taken my lovin'
        and you give it to yo' other man
And we played it on the sofa
        and we played it 'side the wall
And we played it on the sofa
        and we played it 'side the wall
But boys, my needles have got rusty
        and it will not play a-t'all
Mmm, Beezatrice, I love my phonograph-mmm
        babe, and I'm bound to lose my mind
Beatrice I love my phonograph
        and I'm 'bout to lose my mind
Why'n't you bring your clothes back home
        baby, and try me one more time
Now, my phonograph, mmm
        babe, it won't say a lonesome word
My little phonograph
        and it won't say a lonesome word
What evil have I done
        what evil have the poor girl heard
Now, Beatrice
        won't you bring your clothes back home
Now, Beatrice
        won't you bring your clothes back home
I wanna wind your little phonograph
        just to hear your little motor moan
