JINX BLUES 
Big Joe Williams 


Woke up in the mornin', jinx all 'round your bed 
Woke up in the mornin', jinx all 'round your bed 
Well, didn't have nobody now, woman, nowhere to lay my achin' head 

Well, it's peoples tryin' to tell me low-down jinx ain't bad 
Well, it's peoples tryin' to tell me low-down jinx ain't bad 
Well, then it must not aÕ been them low-down jinx I had. 

If you ever dream lucky, woke up cold in hand, 
don't you hear me talkin', 
If you ever dream lucky, woke up cold in hand. 
Had the jinx so bad, till my woman's she's gone away with another 
man 

Uh-uh, cryin' mercy, now, you don't know what mercy mean. 
Well, everybody cryin' mercy, don't know what mercy mean. 
It's the meanest jinx, baby, I want you to, please, come back to me. 

(Spoken): 'Cause the jinx might leave you. The hoodoo jinx in my bed.
