Ry Cooder - GOING TO BROWNSVILLE lyrics

(John Estes, adapted by Ry Cooder)

I'm going to Brownsville, take that right hand road

Well, I'm going to Brownsville, take that right hand road

And I ain't gonna stop walking till I get in sweet mama's door

The girl I'm loving she's got great long curly hair

The girl I'm loving she's got great long curly hair

And her mama and her papa well, they sure don't allow me there

If you catch my jumper (?), babe, hanging upside your wall

Well, if you catch my jumper (?), babe, hanging upside your wall

Well, you know by that I need my ashes hauled

I'm going to Brownsville, take that right hand road

I'm going to Brownsville, take that right hand road

And I ain't gonna stop walking till I get in sweet mama's door
