lyrics
Poor Black Mattie ain't got a change in clothes
Girl got drunk, close that door
Poor Black Mattie ain't got change o' clothes
Girl got drunk, throwed her clothes outdoor
Goin' to Memphis, see the World's Fair
Reason I'm goin is my, baby's, there
Goin' to Memphis, see the World's Fair
Reason I'm goin is my, my baby's there
Need no heater or fireplace by my bed
Women I got cherry red
Need no heater or fireplace by my bed
Woman I got, keep's me cherry red
Woman I got, keep's me cherry red
