Match Box Blues Lead Belly

Now, this man had a wife
And she thought she hasn't gotten
Ev' dollar that he had
But she was mistakin!
He had lots of money when he married her
But he's sittin' with his head hung down
She walk by an says
'Daddy' says, 'What's the matter with you?'
And here what he told his wife

He said, 'Down here wonderin'
Would a matchbox hold my clothes?
He said, 'Down you're wonderin'
Would a matchbox hold my clothes?
He said, 'Down here wonderin'
Would a matchbox hold my clothes?

She says, 'Daddy, don't be worried like that!'

An he walk back tell her again
Y'all, what he tol' that gal

'I don't wanna be bother
No big trunk on my do'
I don't wanna be by
No big trunk on my do'
Don't wanna be by no
Big trunk on my do'
