Mecca Flat Blues Transcription and Lyrics
Mecca Flat Blues
(James Blythe and Alexander Robinson)
Talk about blues but I’ve got the meanest kind
Blue and disgusted, dissatisfied in mind
My Mecca flat man, he really don’t understand
Mecca flat woman must be a jazzin’ houn’
Mecca flat woman must be a jazzin’ houn’
Keep foolin’ with me and I’ll cut your jazzer down
Mecca flat woman stings like a stingaree
Mecca flat woman stings like a stingaree
Mecca flat woman take your teeth out of me
Im going to find my Mecca flat man today
Im going to find my Mecca flat man today
Got the Mecca flat blues and somebody’s goin’ to pay

Just visited the Mecca Flat Blues at the cultural center in Chicago. Loved the exhibit, history of the building, and of course the music. This all led me to want to know more. Your website is great. Thank you for sharing the music.
