Lyrics Sam Jones' Blues - Cécile McLorin Salvant
(Spoken:
Who′s
that
knockin'
on
that
door
Jones?
You
better
get
away
from
that
door
I
don′t
know
nobody
named
Jones
You're
in
the
right
church,
brother,
but
the
wrong
pew)
Sam
Jones
left
his
lawful
wife,
just
to
step
around
Came
back
home,
'bout
a
year
Took
it
for
his
high
brown
Went
to
his
accustomed
shore
And
he
knocked
his
knuckles
sore
His
wife
she
came,
but
to
his
shame
She
knew
his
face
no
more
Sam
said,
"I′m
your
husband,
dear"
But
she
said,
"Dear,
that′s
strange
to
hear"
You
ain't
talkin′
to
Mrs.
Jones
You
speakin'
to
Miss
Wilson
now
I
used
to
be
your
lawful
mate
But
the
judge
done
changed
my
fate
Was
a
time
you
could-a′
walked
right
in
And
call
this
place
your
home
sweet
home
But
now
it's
all
mine,
for
all
time
I′m
free
and
livin'
all
alone
Don't
need
your
clothes,
don′t
need
your
rent
Don′t
need
your
ones
and
twos
Though
I
ain't
rich,
I
know
my
stitch
I
earned
my
strutting
shoes
Say,
hand
me
the
key
that
unlocks
my
front
door
Because
that
bell
don′t
read
Sam
Jones
no
more,
no
You
ain't
talkin′
to
Mrs.
Jones
You
speakin'
to
Miss
Wilson
now
