Poor Black Mattie

[Verse 1: Lightnin' Malcolm & Samantha Fish & Both]
Poor Black Mattie, yeah (Poor Black Mattie)
Ain't got a change in clothes (change in clothes)

Close that door (close that door)

Ain't got change o' clothes
Girl got drunk, throwed her trunk outdoor

[Verse 2: Lightnin' Malcolm & Samantha Fish & Both]
Goin' to Memphis to see that (goin' to Memphis)
Worldly fair (the worldly fair)

Goin' to Memphis (goin' to Memphis)
See that worldly fair
Reason I'm goin', 'cause my baby there

Fireplace by my bed
Woman I got, keep me cherry red
