Lyrics

BLACK EYE BLUES
Written by Ma Rainey

Down in Hogan's Alley lived Miss Nancy Ann 
Always fussin' squabbling with her man 
Then I heard Miss Nancy say
Why do you treat your gal that way

I went down the alley, other night 
Nancy and her man had just had a fight 
He hit Miss Nancy 'cross the head 
When she rose to her feet, she said

You low down alligator, just watch me soon or later
Gonna catch you with your britches down. 
You 'buse me and mistreats me, you dog me around and beat me 
Still I'm gonna hang around.
Take all my money, blacken both of my eyes,
Give it to another woman, come home and tell me lies
You low down alligator, just watch me soon or later
Gonna catch you with your britches down, I mean

Take all my money, blacken both of my eyes,
Give it to another woman, come home and tell me lies
You low down alligator, just watch me soon or later
Gonna catch you with your britches down  

You low down alligator, just watch me soon or later
Gonna catch you with your britches down 
You 'buse me and mistreats me, you dog me ‘round and beat me 
Still I'm gonna hang around
Take all my money, blacken both of my eyes
Give it to another woman, come home and tell me lies 
You low down alligator, just watch me sooner or later
Gonna catch you with your britches down, don’t you know
Gonna catch you with your britches down, I mean  
Catch you with your britches down."
