Cruising with the Blues

Cruising with the Blues (C) 2011 Chris O

Well I'm tired of doin right, tired of being there
Spinnin westwards down a backroad
With tangled, nappy hair

I'm a jellyroll baker, nothin left to lose
Well I'm a jellyroll baker cruisin with the Blues

Mississippi Fred was listening
to that Pea Vine whistle blow
Skip was singin ghostly 'bout a Killing Floor
Whooh, Hard Time Killin Floor
Ah when Skip is a-moanin
Who could ask for more?

Goin past an ice-cream mountain
scrapin bluesy sky
Rollin and a-tumblin
On my own and feeling fine

I'm a jellyroll baker, nothin left to lose
Well I'm a jellyroll baker, when I'm cruisin with the Blues

Well Good Morning Memphis Minnie
and it's Blues How Do You Do?
Hope that Hoodoo Woman
don't put that voodoo thing on you
Hmmmm Hmmmm
I'm a jellyroll baker
cruisin with the Blues

Ah listen to Son and Leroy
Playin down at Clack's Country Store
Hmmm... "Well you know I ain't gonna be bad no more"...

Now Mr Johnson's got his Terraplane
and he's got them Walkin Blues
Me I've got sweet jellyroll
down in my drivin shoes

I'm a jellyroll baker, nothin left to lose
I'm a jellyroll baker
Got them Cruisin Blues
