Booker T. Blues Songtext
von Washboard Sam

I have my books in my hand
I′m going 'cross the book with me
I have my books in my hand
I′m going 'cross the book with me
I'm going to get Mr. So-and-so
Teach me my ABCs

He told me A was for Arthur
Beginning of everything
Even like the atom
And then they start to swing

I have my books in my hand
I′m going ′cross the book with me
I'm going to get Mr. So-and-so
Teach me my ABCs


She told me B was for better
I had better save my dough
The cable my gal was cutting
She swear I′ll never know

I have my books in my hand
I'm going ′cross the book with me
I'm going to get Mr. So-and-so
To teach me my ABCs

He told me D was for darkness
Where I would always stay
Think my gal was loving you
She′s just the other way

I have my books in my hand
I'm going 'cross the book with me
I′m going to get Mr. So-and-so
To teach me my ABCs
