Ice Man Blues Songtext
von Blind Blake

Hear that iceman hollerin′, he don't mean us men no good
Hear that iceman hollerin′, he don't mean us men no good
Every back door he goes through, he wrecks the neighborhood

You can't trust your baby when the iceman starts hangin′ around
You can′t trust your baby when the iceman starts hangin' around
And if it ain′t the iceman, the coal man's running her down

Well, I′m gonna take this lady some ice, if her old man out
And if he ain't, I don′t think I wanna go around there
Me and the coal man both might meet, and it'll be too bad


There was a time when my baby was sweet and nice
There was a time when my baby was sweet and nice
She throwed me down for the man who brings the ice

He may be the iceman, but he ain't so cold
He may be the iceman, but he ain′t so cold
He can chill your icebox and heat your jellyroll

And nothin′ in my icebox is any good today
And nothin' in my icebox is any good today
Since the iceman stole my baby, he don′t come 'round this way no more

I′m gonna start walkin', walk out all my shoes
I′m gonna start walkin' and walk out all my blues
I'm gonna get me an ice axe and break this iceman loose
