Bessemer Bound 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.
Woke up this morning : looking for my darn old shoes
Because mama's going home : singing the Bessemer blues
Apple sugar papa : how come you do me like you do
I've done everything you asked me : trying to get along with you
I went in the water : walked through ice and snow
But from now on papa : I won't be your dog no more
Electric all right and light shine nice and bright
But I'd rather be in Memphis : reading by a candle light
