"Coal Black Mattie" lyrics

The Black Keys Lyrics

"Coal Black Mattie"
(originally by Ranie Burnette)

Poor black Mattie ain't got change in clothes
Fool got drunk, close that door
Coal black Mattie, ain't got change in clothes

Goin' to Memphis, see that world fair
Reason I'm going, cause my baby's there
Goin' to Memphis, see that world fair

Need no heater fireplace by my bed
Woman I got cherry red
Need no heater fireplace by my bed

Poor black Mattie ain't got change in clothes
Fool got drunk, close that door
Coal black Mattie, ain't got change in clothes
