recording of May 1928
from
Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 2 (1927-1928) (Document DOCD5025)
I'm goin' to Detroit, get myself a good job
I'm goin' to Detroit, get myself a good job
Tried to stay around here with the starvation mob
I'm goin' to get a job, up there in Mr. Ford's place
I'm goin' to get a job, up there in Mr. Ford's place
Stop these eatless days from starin' me in the face
When I start to makin' money, she don't need to come around
When I start to makin' money, she don't need to come around
'Cause I don't want her now, Lord. I'm Detroit bound
Because they got wild women in Detroit, that's all I want to see
Because they got wild women in Detroit, that's all I want to see
Wild women and bad whisky would make a fool out of me
Here is the table of contents.
