I'm Getting Long All Right - Big Maybelle

Well I cry like a baby

When you ran away last friday night

Well I cry like a baby

When you ran away last friday night

But I made me some connections

And I’m sure getting along alright

Yes I’m drinking 67'

All you had for me was wine

Yes I’m drinking 67'

All you had for me was wine

Everything I want I get it

And everybody treats me oh so fine

Yes my iceman is a nice man

Gets as nice as he can be

Call, collects his money

And he brings it all to me

And my one man is a good man

Calls me when he likes to keep me warm

When his wood don’t bound to suit me

Then he takes me in his own

Yes my meat man is a sweet man

Brings me chicken everyday

And he tells me pretty baby

You don’t ever have to pay

And my landlord he done told me

Not to worry about the rent

All he wants to do is hold me

And my rent won’t cost a cent

Then my coal man is a old man

And he almost hated too

But believe when I tell you

That he knows just what to do

Well he might have done it

When you left me last friday night

'Cause I made me some conections

And I’m sure am getting along alright
