Match Box Blues (wattstax) Lyrics - Roadhouse Blues - Albert King

Now, this tune should be easy for you to deal with 

All you gotta do is remember back home, 

You know what I mean 

When you was sitting out behind the house 

Or practicing on your own guit feble 

Tryin' to get things together, 

And you couldn't make up your mind 

Kinda half-way knew what you wanted to do 

But you didn't have it all together 

But you did know you wanted to travel 

(That's right!) 

Yeah, I remember those days real good 

(I know) 

Didn't have really many clothes 

Didn't know nobody to call to sing for you 

So you had to get out there in no time, you know 

(so) 

You don't make no tiffanies, you say 

"I'm goin'... 

And I know I got a great time, but I'm goin' anyway" 

Whatever happens 

(What happens?) 

I gotta pay my dues somewhere 

Listen: 

Dreamed that I was lucky, 

But I woke up cold in hand 

Hey, I dreamed that I was lucky, darling, 

But I woke up cold in hand 

I dreamed I had you all by myself, 

But now I know you found you another man 

Oh, that's why I wonderin' 

Will a matchbox hold my clothes? 

Hey, sometimes I wonder, darling 

Will a matchbox hold my clothes? 

You know I haven't got so many 

But I got so far to go 

If you gotta good woman, 

You better pin'er up to your side 

If you gotta good lady, fellow, 

You better pin'er up to your side 

Because if she flag my train, budy 

I'm beyond the (live and well ??) 

Oh, that's why I wonder 

Will a matchbox hold my clothes? 

Hey, sometimes I wonder, darling 

Will a matchbox hold my clothes? 

You know I haven't got so many 

But I got so far to go, yeah 

I see you might do something with it 

(I hope so) 

Yeah, take it 

You know, fix it like it, you know
