Leadbelly Red Cross Store Blues Lyrics

Red Cross Store Blues Lyrics

(chorus:)

I told her no!

Baby you know I don't wanna go

Justine I ain't goin'

Down to no Red Cross store



She come
down Justine, tell me I wanna talk with you in just a little while

Ain't
you goin' down and fight for your wife and child?

(chorus)



She come down here and she shook my hand

She said Daddy I want you to
go down there and fight for me like a man

(chorus)



She said
the Red Cross people they treat you mighty fine

They mixing everything up
with whiskey and wine

(chorus)



She come down here talkin' to
me about the war

I told her baby I ain't done nothing to go there for

(chorus)



She come down here and she fell down on her knees

I said baby I have to look somewhere for your butter and cheese

(chorus)



She said Daddy I just come down here to tell you so

You better go running down to that Red Cross store

(chorus)
