Jessie Mae

Album: The Ruffian's Misfortune

Written by Ray Wylie Hubbard

Oh Jessie Mae, Oh Jessie Mae

Ever time you sing

Black angels dance

 

Oh Jessie Mae, Oh Jessie Mae

Got a dead thumb groove

Got a dead thumb groove

Like hammerin’ nails

Like hammerin’ nails

On the low E string

On the low E string

 

Oh Jessie Mae, Oh Jessie Mae

Ever time you sing

Black angels dance

 

Oh Jessie Mae, Oh Jessie may

As God is my witness

As God is my witness

I’m obliged to you

Much obliged to you

And the Mississippi blues

And the Mississippi blues
