Mean Old Frisco

Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup

(as performed by The Canettes Blues Band)

Well, that mean old, mean old Frisco, and that low down Santa Fe
Well, that mean old Frisco, and that low down Santa Fe
Well it took my baby away, and it's blown right back on me

I was standing at the station to hear that Southern whistle blow
I was standing and waiting to hear that Southern whistle blow
Lord, she did not catch the Southern, where do you think that woman done go

Well, there ain't, Lord there ain't no, got no special rider here
I ain't got no special rider here
Well, I think I'm gonna leave now, 'cause I don't feel welcome here

Well, my mama she done told me, and my papa told me, too
Well, my mama she done told me, and my papa told me, too
That gal grinnin' in your face son, well, she ain't no friend to you
