I've heard Miss Phoebe say to Sammy
Green:
You are the meanest man I ever
seen.
You beat me, you kicked me, and
dogged me 'round,
You're the cruelest man in this
here town.
Did everything a real woman could
do;
So listen what I've got to say
to you:
You just start packin' up your two
rags,
Don't you dare try to steal my
hand bag.
Wrap 'em up in that paint box behind
the door,
I mean, I don't want you no more.
Now, I am telling you to your face,
I've got another man that's gonna
take your place,
So go and tell the world you've
got them no home blues!
You just start takin' off that winter
coat,
Why, Sammy, you must take me for
a daniel goat,
I am gonna tell you some very bad
news
And don't forget to give me back
my hat and my shoes.
I want back that new suit I bought
the other day,
Now, papa, there's the door, so
please be on your way,
So go and tell the world you've
got them no home blues!
