Memphis Jug Band – Cave Man Blues Lyrics

Artist: Memphis Jug Band
Song: Cave Man Blues

Charlie Nickerson: Say, Son, give me my overhaul jumper there;
Give me my overhauls, too
Will Shade: Whatchya gonna do with ’em, boy?
CN: Boy, I’m going down in the coal mine

WS: Coal mine, whatchya gonna do down there?
CN: I’m gonna do like the rest of the cave men
WS: Rest of the cave men?
CN: Yeah; give me my pick and shovel, too

WS: Whatchya gonna do with it?
CN: I’ve got to dig when I gets in the mine!
WS: Got to dig when you get in the mine?
CN: Yeah; and give me my lantern

WS: Lantern? Right behind the door
CN: Now I’m gonna tell you what the cave men do
WS: Let’s hear about it
Mister cave man, doggone your caving soul

Mister cave man, doggone your caving soul
You better quit your bad habits, digging in every dark hole
You cave so much, till you can’t keep it hid
You cave so much, you can’t keep it hid

You going to get in the wrong cave like Floyd Collins did
You won’t go to the barber, you won’t even shave
You won’t go to the barber, you won’t even shave
You know a clean-face man don’t go in no cave

Play that thing, boy, play it
Listen to old Tee tyna get away
Do the jug
Cos son ain’t got no sense, now how

I’m going in a cave at the sounding of the drums
I’m going in a cave at the sounding of the drums
And I’ll dig and dig till my good gal comes
That’s them cave man blues!
