Frank Stokes' Dream

And I'm gone, I'm goin'
And your cryin' won't make me stay
'Cause the more you cry, gal
The further you drive me away

When I leave your house
Pin a black crepe on your door
Tell your man ain't dead, he ain't comin' back here no more

Ever dream that you lucky
And wake up cool in hand
I wouldn't have a motherless dollar
To give your house rent, man

Take me in your arms
Run me good and slow
Take me in your arms
Run me good and slow
So you get the Frank Stowe blues
Anywhere on earth you go

Ah, it's so easy to be easy when you are easy

And I'm leavin' you, mama
This the last time that I'll gah-go
And I'm leavin' you
The last time I'll ever go
When them Frank Stowe blues come 'round
I got a place to go
