Cherry Hall Blues - Skip James

I love my cherry ball better than I love myself

I loves cherry ball better than I love myself

She get so she don’t love me, she won’t love nobody else

Cherry ball quit me, she quit me in a calm, good way

Cherry ball quit me, she quit me in a calm, good way

But what to take to get her, I carries it every day

I love my cherry ball oh, better than I love myself

My cherry ball, better than I love myself

She get so she don’t love me, love nobody else

Sure as that spider hangin' on the wall

Sure as that spider hangin' on the wall

I advised that old cherry ball, «Keep fallin' on call»

I’ll catch the Southern if you take the Santa Fe

I’ll take the Southern and you’ll take the Santa Fe

I’m gonna ride and ramble, tell cherry to come back to me
