Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Poor Black Mattie ain't got a change of clothes
Fool got drunk, closed that door
Poor Black Mattie ain't got a change of clothes
[Verse 2]
Fool got drunk, throwed her clothes outdoor
[Verse 3]
Goin' to Memphis, see that World's Fair (Why you goin'?)
Reason I'm goin', my baby's there (Yeah, yeah, yeah?)
Goin' to Memphis, see that World's Fair
Reason I'm goin', know my baby there
[Verse 4]
Need no heater or fireplace by my bed
Woman I got, cherry's red
Need no heater, fireplace by my bed
Woman I got, keep me cherry red
Written by: R.L. Burnside
