Fannin Street Lyrics - Leadbelly

My mama told me 

My sister too 

Said, 'The Shreveport women, son, 

Will be the death of you' 

Said to my mama, 

'Mama, you don't know 

If the Fannin Street women gonna kill me 

Well, you might as well let me go' 

Follow me down, 

Follow me down, 

Follow me down 

By Mr Tom Hughes town 

I went to my mama 

Fell down on my knees 

Said, 'Oh, mama, won't you forgive me, please?'

She started to cry: 

Follow me down, 

Follow me down, 

Follow me down 

By Mr Tom Hughes town 

I got a woman 

Lives on Stony Hill 

She used to sit down and gamble with 

Mr Buffalo Bill 

He's a bad man 

You got a woman 

Gamble with Buffalo Bill 

Two chances in one, babe, 

You ain't done got killed 

She started to cry:

Follow me down, 

Follow me down, 

Follow me down 

By Mr Tom Hughes town 

I got a woman 

Lives back of the jail 

Makes an honest livin' 

By the wigglin' of her tail 

Cry for me 

Anyone should ask you 

Who made up this song 

Tell 'em Huddie Ledbetter 

Done been here and gone 

Follow me down, 

Follow me down, 

Follow me down
