Change My Luck Blues
by 
Blind Lemon Jefferson 
recording of in February 1928, Chicago, Illinois 
from 
Blind Lemon Jefferson (Milestone 47022) 
Hey, hey, mama, that ride has come and gone 
I say hey, hey, mama, that ride has come and gone 
I just can't see what in the world is you waiting on 
I've done met a mama, she ain't long in or tall 
I say I got another mama, she ain't long in or tall 
But to tell you the truth, man, she's as soft as a butter ball 
She got every movement from her head down to her toe 
She got every movement from her head down to her toe 
And she can break in on the dollar, man busting it where she goes 
She was my best mama, but she wouldn't treat me right 
I said she was my best mama, but she wouldn't treat me right 
She wouldn't do nothin' but 
barrelhouse 
all night long 
I'm gonna get a mama, I mean with lots of buck 
I'm gonna get a mama, I mean with lots of buck 
I want to be gone mama, so I can change my luck 
Be gone mama, be gone
