Blind Boy Fuller Vol. 3 1937
Somebody done learned my baby how to change gears on a Cadillac Eight
Somebody done learned my baby how to change gears on a Cadillac Eight
Ever since that happened I can't keep my baby straight

I hate to hear that Cadillac whistle blow, boo-hoo
Says, I do hate to hear, Cadillac whistle blow, boo-hoo
Every time my woman hear it, makes her feel like riding, too

A working man ain't nothing but a woman's slave
A working man ain't nothing but a woman's slave
When she start to lovin', Great God, it just won't 'have

I said, hey-hey, Lawdy-Lawdy Lawd
I said, hey-hey, Lawdy-Lawdy Lawd
Hey-hey, Lawdy-Lawdy Lawd

Have my dinner all ready, don't let my coffee be cold
I said, have my dinner ready, woman, don't let my coffee be cold
And don't forget, baby, save my sweet jellyroll

Now, you know my woman, she got something, I don't know what it is
Hey-hey, Lord, I don't know what it is
When I get in that bed with her, can't keep my black self still
