Start Jamming...
[A] Woo!
Right away, yes, old Freddy.
Boy, you know something?
I sure didn't [D] want to see you long time.
You know why?
Why, boy?
[A] I want to hear you play the old blues like you play it at home, you know [E] it.
And when I was way down the loop this morning, boy, I heard Joe [A] Guitar just a rickety, and I know that was you, because nobody else can play the blues [E] like you, Freddy.
Now listen, I want [A] to hear some more.
Play them for me, Freddy, please.
Yeah, boy, I'm ready to play them for you.
Listen [Bm] to my story now, please listen to [A] my song.
Can't [E] you imagine how I feel now, how I'm wasting my real junk on [A] songs.
She's a full-blood dismal, tell you boys the way I know.
[E] Yeah, [Bm] she's a full [D]-blood dismal, tell you boys the way [A] I know.
[E] People just screaming for my milk, I don't care where my dizzy [A] go.
I've been [Em] on thirty-fifth, listen [A] boys, I've been on thirty-nine.
I've been [Ab] on thirty-fifth, listen boys, I've [A] been on thirty-nine.
I rammed [E] the whole south side down, trying to find this real milk cart of [A] mine.
She's a full-blood dismal, tell you boys the way I know.
[Em] She's a [Bm] full-blood dismal, tell you boys the way I [A] know.
People [E] just screaming for my milk, I don't care where my milk cart [A] go.
Said my bed is lonesome, my pillow now it sure won't do.
Said [D] my bed is lonesome, my pillow now it sure won't [A] do.
I [E] wake up after midnight, I really have those milk [A] carts.
[D] Mmm, baby [E] listen to [A] me.
[E] Can't you look in my face now, right and tell them I've got those milk [A] carts.
Listen high, [G] sugar listen high, [A] high, high.
[D] Listen high, sugar listen high, [A] high, high.
[E] Can't you imagine how I feel now, till my real milk cart
