Cherry Ball Blues Lyrics - Hard Time Killing Floor Blues - Skip James

I love my little cherry ball 

Better than I love myself 

I love my cherry ball 

Better than I love myself 

Then if she don't love me 

She can't love nobody else 

Cherry ball, she quit me 

Quit me in a nice, good way 

Cherry ball, she quit me 

Quit me in a nice, good way 

You know, what it take to get her back 

I carries it ev'ryday 

Now, I left cherry ball standin' 

Standin' in the back do' cryin' 

Now, I left cherry ball 

Standin' in the back do' cryin' 

Of course, I feel her condition 

But her trouble ain't none a-mine 

She's just like a spider 

She's hangin' on the wall 

She's like a spider 

She's hangin' on the wall 

You know, she done quit me 

She quit me without a cause 

Now, when she left me 

She left tears in my eye 

Now, when she left me 

She left tears in my eye 

You know, that I love her 

But her disposition I do dispise 

Now, you can take the Southern 

I'm 'on take the Sante Fe 

Now, you take the Southern 

I'm 'on take the Sante Fe 

I'm gon' ride an gon' ramble 

'Till cherry ball come back to me 

She got to come on back home to me-ee-ee
