32-20 Blues

[Chorus]

If I send for my baby, man, and she doesn't come

Send for my baby, man, and she doesn't come

All the doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her, none

[Verse 1]

If she gets unruly, thinks she doesn't want to do

She gets unruly, thinks she doesn't want to do

Take my 32-20, boy, cut her half in two

She got a .38 special but I believe it's most too light

.38 special but I believe it's most too light

I got a 32-20 to make the camps all right

[Chorus]

If I send for my baby, man, and she doesn't come

Send for my baby, man, and she doesn't come

All the doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her, none

[Verse 2]

Going to shoot my pistol, going to shoot my gatling gun

Going to shoot my pistol, going to shoot my gatling gun

You made me love you, now your man has come

Oh, baby, where did you stay last night?

Oh, baby, where did you stay last night?

You got your hair all tangled and you aren't talking right

Got a .38 special, boy, it does very well

Got a .38 special and it does very well

Got a 32-20 now, it's a burning hell

[Chorus]

If I send for my baby, man, and she doesn't come

Send for my baby, man, and she doesn't come

All the doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her, none

[Outro]

Oh, baby, where did you stay last night?

Oh, baby, where did you stay last night?

You didn't come home till the sun was shining bright

Oh, boy, I just can't take my rest

Oh, boy, I just can't take my rest

With this 32-20 laying up and down my breast
