Take a whiff on me

an easy, kinda bluesy song.




Take A Whiff On Me

words and music by Huddie Ledbetter

(note: the OCMS cover I was thinking of was "Cocaine blues" on Big Iron World ... it has the same chorus...)

G (0000)
C (2012)
D7(0210)

Chorus:

Take a [G] whiff, take a whiff, take a whiff on me,
[C] Ev'rybody take a whiff on me,
[D7] Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on [G] me.

Verses:

[G] I got a woman six feet tall,
[C] Sleepin' in the kitchen with her feet in the hall,
[D7] Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on [G] me.

Two old maids a-fishin' in the creek,
They ain't caught a man since a-way last week,
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

Want to get a woman let me tell you a word,
Grease your hair down as slick as lard, ...
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

I'm a-walkin' down the road with my hat in my hand,
lookin' for a woman who needs a worried man,
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

walkin' down the road, the road is mighty muddy,
Slippin' and slidin' and I can't stand steady,
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

I know my woman ain't a-treatin' me right,
She don't get home til the day gets light
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

Meet a lot of women out a-ramblin' around,
But the Boston women are the best that I found,
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

Sing your song all night long,
Sing to my woman from midnight on,
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.
