[Lyric] Ashley St. Blues (Leola B. "Coot" Grant)

[Verse 1]
I don't want none of you women to be frettin' and cryin'
I don't want none of you women to be frettin' and cryin'
If you ain't got no man, I'll give you one of mine

[Verse 2]
My mama told me before I left home
My mama told me before I left home
You better let them Jacksonville men alone

[Verse 3]
Some women want a yellow and some women want brown
Some women want a yellow man and some women want brown
I know a black man will beat you, but he sure won't throw you down

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Please let me ride your train, I know you won't refuse
Please let me ride your train, I know you won't refuse
I'm a heartbroken woman with the Ashley Street blues
