Lyrics Shorty George - Leadbelly
Well-a
Shorty
George1,
he
ain't
no
friend
of
mine
Well-a
Shorty
George,
he
ain't
no
friend
of
mine
He's
taken
all
the
women
and
left
the
men
behind
Well-a
Shorty
George,
he
done
been
here
and
gone
Yes,
Shorty
George,
he
done
been
here
and
gone
Lord
he
left
many
a
poor
man
a
great
long
way
from
home
Well
my
baby
caught
the
Katy,
I
caught
the
Santa
Fee
Well
she
caught
the
Katy,
I
caught
the
Santa
Fee
Well,
you
can't
quit
me,
baby,
can't
you
see
Well
I
went
to
Galveston,
work
on
the
Mallory
Line
Went
to
Galveston,
Lord
on
the
Mallory
Line
Babe
you
can't
quit
me,
ain't
no
use
tryin'
Shorty
George,
travelin'
through
the
land
Shorty
George,
he's
travelin'
through
the
land
Always
looking
to
pick
some
woman's
poor
man
When
I
get
back
to
Dallas,
I'm
gonna
walk
and
tell
When
I
get
back
to
Dallas,
gonna
walk
and
tell
That
the
Fort
Bend
Bottom
is
a
burning
hell
