diz-se que, no final da sua carreira, frequentemente a sua mulher tinha de o ajudar a relembrar as letras dos seus azuis, mesmo dos mais famosos. e por vezes penso nisso, no que poderia ter sido o percurso de mathis james reed se o alcoolismo e a epilepsia não tivessem acelerado o seu desaparecimento precoce. 

Baby plea, first time I plea to you


Baby plea, first time I plea to you


Darlin', now ya got me so upset, baby,

Because I don't know what-a-do

Don't pull no subway, I rather see you pull a train


Don't pull no subway, I rather see you pull a train


You know I love you, love ya baby, girl,

You know it's a cryin' shame

Feel so bad, baby, feel like my heart's skippin' a beat


Feel so bad, baby, feel like my heart skip a beat


Well now, I'm tellin' you pretty baby,

Don't you know what you're doin' to me?
