White man take the blues : he walk to the river and sit 
down
If the blues get too heavy : he'll jump overboard and 
drown
Now it's east and west : north and south
Why the Nehi women : have done turned me out
So they can eagle rock me they can talk me : about the 
things that I used to do
I got the Nehi blues mama : don't know what in the world 
to do
Well now T for Texas : T for Tennessee
M is for mighty bad weather : boys she stole away from me
Now down North Third Street : the corner of Beale
Where the Nehi women : have got a terrible *steal*
Now papa got to singing : my folks got to crying
For Nehi women : stays on my mind
Now little batch of posies : laid on my door
The Nehi women keep me : everywhere I go
