Lyrics
Stop Breakin' Down Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every time I'm walking down the street,
Some pretty mama start breakin' down with me.
Stop breakin' down,
Please, stop breakin' down.
The stuff I got will bust your brains out, baby.
Oh, it'll make you lose your mind.
I can't walk the streets now to consolate my mind.
Some pretty mama starts breakin' down.
Chorus
Now, you Saturday night women, you love to ape and clown.
Won't do nothing but tear a good man reputation down.
Chorus
Well, I give my baby the ninety-nine degrees.
She jumped up and throwed a pistol down on me.
Chorus
Well now, I can't start walking down the streets,
Some pretty woman start breakin' down with me.
Chorus
