Skip James - Cherry Ball Blues Lyrics
I love my little cherry ballBetter than I love myselfI love my cherry ballBetter than I love myselfThen if she don't love meShe can't love nobody elseCherry ball, she quit meQuit me in a nice, good wayCherry ball, she quit meQuit me in a nice, good wayYou know, what it take to get her backI carries it ev'rydayNow, I left cherry ball standin'Standin' in the back do' cryin'Now, I left cherry ballStandin' in the back do' cryin'Of course, I feel her conditionBut her trouble ain't none a-mineShe's just like a spiderShe's hangin' on the wallShe's like a spiderShe's hangin' on the wallYou know, she done quit meShe quit me without a causeNow, when she left meShe left tears in my eyeNow, when she left meShe left tears in my eyeYou know, that I love herBut her disposition I do dispiseNow, you can take the SouthernI'm 'on take the Sante FeNow, you take the SouthernI'm 'on take the Sante FeI'm gon' ride an gon' ramble'Till cherry ball come back to meShe got to come on back home to me-ee-ee.~
