PHONOGRAPH BLUES (TAKE
1)
Beatrice, she got a phonograph
and it won't say a lonesome word
Beatrice, she got a phonograph
and it won't say a lonesome word
What evil have I done
what evil has the poor girl heard
Beatrice, I love my phonograph
but you have broke my windin' chain
Beatrice, I love my phonogra'-ooo
honey, you have broke my windin' chain
And you've taken my lovin'
and give it to your other man
Now, we played it on the sofa, now
we played it 'side the wall
My needles heve got rusty, baby
they will not play at all
We played it on the sofa
and we played it 'side the wall
But my needles have got rusty
and it will not play at all
Beatrice, I go crazy
baby, I will lose my mind
And I go cra'-eee
honey, I will lose my mind
Why'n't you bring your clothes back home
and try me one more time
She got a phonograph
and it won't say a lonesome word
She got a phonograph
ooo-won't say a lonesome word
What evil have I done
or what evil have the poor girl heard
