Joe Turner Blues

Joe Turner is a man I do despise

Joe Turner, going 'round trying to take other men's wives

Joe Turner, drove him from my door

Joe Turner, drove him from my door

Hope to God that he won't come back no more

Policeman, you better not let him 'round

Policeman, you better not let him 'round

If you do, I'm sure gonna shoot him down

Joe Turner, a man I do despise

Joe Turner, a man I do despise

Going 'round trying to men's wives

I left Joe Turner standing in my door

I left Joe Turner...

He may steal my good girl, all I know

Joe Turner, drove him from my door

I drove Joe Turner, drove him my door

May steal my good girl, all I know
