by
King Solomom Hill
recording of ca. January 1932, Crafton, Wisconsin
from
Backwoods Blues (Document DOCD 5036)
Oh tell me baby, what fault you find of me?
I'm gonna pack my suitcase, beat it back to Tennessee
On my hands and crying, I've been treated so blind Lord
Oh, tell me baby, what fault you find of me?
I'm gonna pack my suitcase...
Nickel is a nickel, dime is a dime
Wish I had a love in my life, love me all the time
Call her baby...
I'm gonna pack my suitcase...
Nickel is a nickel, dime is a dime
Got a house full of children, ain't
no
ne'er one mine
Oh, tell me baby...
Babe, I can't see, honey to save my life
Why we can't get along just like man and wife
Oh tell me baby, what fault you find of me?
I'm gonna pack my suitcase...
said
think mama told me, papa told me too
Don't need whiskey and women, gonna beat around on you
I'll call my baby, what fault you find...?

Memphis Minnie
and Kansas Joe duet "
What Fault You Find of Me
?" Hill used his slide to play the melody of some parts of the choruses instead of singing all of the lyrics;
Note 1: this line is incorporated directly from "
What Fault You Find of Me?(#1)

Note 2: another line incorporated from "
What Fault You Find of Me?(#1)
