Aberdeen Mississippi Blues lyrics

I was over in Aberdeen

On my way to New Orlean

I was over in Aberdeen

On my way to New Orlean

Them Aberdeen women told me

Will buy my gasoline

Hey, two little women

That I ain't ever seen

They has two little women

That I ain't never seen

These two little women

Just from New Orlean

Ooh, sittin' down in Aberdeen

With New Orlean on my mind

I'm sittin' down in Aberdeen

With New Orlean on my mind

Well, I believe them Aberdeen women

Gonna make me lose my mind, yeah

(slide guitar & washboard)

Aber-deen is my home

But the mens don't want me around

Aberdeen is my home

But the men don't want me around

They know I will take these women

An take them outta town

Listen, you Aberdeen women

You know I ain't got no dime

Oh-oh listen you women

You know'd I ain't got no dime

They been had the po' boy

All up and down.
