packin' trunk - lead belly lyrics

this song was made about a man and a woman
this man when he married a woman, she didn’t want him
but she married him anyhow for the money that he had
and she thought she got every dollar he had
but she was mistaken
but she got him pretty well bent
he sat there with his head hung down
she walked by and she said: “daddy”
she said, “what’s the matter with you?”
he looked at her and here’s what he said to her:

[verse 1]
i’m sitting down here wondering
would a matchbox hold my clothes
i’m sitting down here wondering
would a matchbox hold my clothes
i’m sitting down here wondering
would a matchbox hold my clothes

she asked him, she said: “papa”, she said
“what’s the matter with you?”

[verse 2]
i don’t want to be bothered with no suitcase on my road
i don’t want to be bothered with no suitcase on my road
i don’t want to be bothered with no suitcase on my road
he said: “i’m going to see my friend, and see
what he would do when his wife’s packing up her trunk.”

[verse 3]
now what would you do when your baby picking up her trunk?
what would you do when your baby picking up her trunk?
now what would you do when your baby picking up her trunk?

he looked at him and here’s what he told him:

[verse 4]
you get half a gallon of whiskey, you get on your big drunk
you get half a gallon of whiskey, you get on your big drunk
you get half a gallon of whiskey, you get on your big drunk

she said: “ghost, go and play the piano a piece for me a little piece.”
this ghost jumped down and commenced playing the piano
