Ticket Agent, Ease Your Window Down Songtext
von Bessie Smith

Tell me what′s wrong with me
My man, we can't agree
Now he′s tried to steal away
That is why you hear me say
Now, I've got the blues, yes, I've got the blues
Gonna sing ′em night and day

Ticket agent, ease your window down
Ticket agent, ease your window down
′Cause my man's done quit me and tried to leave this town


I′d rather see this whole world sloppy drunk
I'd rather see this whole world sloppy drunk
Than to see my man startin′ in to pack his trunk

If he don't want me, he had no right to stall
If he didn′t want me, he had no right to stall
I can get more men than a passenger train can haul

He stole my money and he pawned my clothes
He stole my money and he pawned my clothes
And which way my daddy went, a gypsy only knows

I hate a man that don't play fair and square
I hate a man that don't play fair and square
′Cause you can get a crooked daddy almost anywhere
