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
