Lyrics

My mama told me My sister too Said, 'The Shreveport women, son, Will be the death of you' Said to my mama, 'Mama, you don't know If the Fannin Street women gonna kill me Well, you might as well let me go' Follow me down, Follow me down, Follow me down By Mr Tom Hughes town I went to my mama Fell down on my knees Said, 'Oh, mama, won't you forgive me, please?' She started to cry: Follow me down, Follow me down, Follow me down By Mr Tom Hughes town I got a woman Lives on Stony Hill She used to sit down and gamble with Mr Buffalo Bill He's a bad man You got a woman Gamble with Buffalo Bill Two chances in one, babe, You ain't done got killed She started to cry: Follow me down, Follow me down, Follow me down By Mr Tom Hughes town I got a woman Lives back of the jail Makes an honest livin' By the wigglin' of her tail Cry for me Anyone should ask you Who made up this song Tell 'em Huddie Ledbetter Done been here and gone Follow me down, Follow me down, Follow me down By Mr Tom Hughes town
