Poor black mattie ain't got change in clothes

Fool got drunk, close that door

Coal black mattie, ain't got change in clothes.

Goin' to memphis, see that world fair

Reason I'm going, cause my baby's there

Goin' to memphis, see that world fair.

Need no heater fireplace by my bed

Woman I got cherry red

Need no heater fireplace by my bed.

Poor black mattie ain't got change in clothes

Fool got drunk, close that door

Coal black mattie, ain't got change in clothes.
