Rowdy Blues
???? - as performed by Thomasina Winslow & Nick Katzman
for chords see footnote

Ain't gonna marry, neither settle down
Gonna stay right here 'til I tear this barrel house down

Oh, I love you baby, now tell the world I do
Oh, I love you baby, tell the world I do love you
I don't love nobody in this whole round world but you

Ain't no use to weepin', ain't no need no cryin'
Ain't no use to weepin', ain't no need to cryin'
Because you got a home just as long as I got mine

Now, have you ever dreamed lucky now, woke up cold in hand*
Tell me, ever dreamed lucky now, woke up cold in hand
I would call that yonda** nothin' but a monkey man***

Oh, I love you baby, you're so nice and brown
Oh, I love you baby, you're so nice and brown
Because you put up solid won't come tumblin' down****

Now did get that letter now mailed in your backyard
And did you get that letter now mailed in your backyard
It's a sad word you say, but now best of friends have to part


-------------------------
Meaning of idiomatic parts:
*"Have you ever thought you were lucky in love and woke up alone"
** "yonda" - Southern US dialectical for "yonder".
*** "Monkey man" - someone who plays with your mind, not serious about relationships and is just fooling around
**** Built solid physically and one can lean on you so you are a solid person


(Thanks to Thomasina Winslow for her assistance!)

-------------------------
The musical form is a regular 12-bars-Blues, but with a less conventional dominant chord in the first line
