I was searching for the lyrics of “KISSING IN THE DARK” when I found this site with lot of precious info.
Now to be complete I’d like to have (if possible) the lyrics of KID MAN BLUES by Memphis Minnie
It starts with
“I woke up this mornin’ with my kid man on my mind”
Any help will be welcome
In advance thank you so much

Claude from France and fond of Blues

Here are most of the lyrics. Try as I might I cannot figure out the first two lines of the 4th verse.

JMAC

Call the doctor, call him quick
I done got something ’bout to make me sick
I been kissin’ in the dark
Yeah, kissin’ in the dark
Kissin’ in the dark, honey, that’s my birthmark

Well, I had a girlfriend from Alabam’
She done put her pennies all in a jam
Kissin’ in the dark
Yes, kissin’ in the dark
Kissin’ in the dark, honey, that’s her birthmark

She had a date with scrap, met a hip cat
And nobody knows where she end up at
She been kissin’ in the dark
Yes, kissin’ in the dark
She been kissin’ in the dark, honey, that’s her birthmark

Be a good pal, just swappin’ up a dime (??)
You thinkin’ about a man, throw it after mine (??)
Kissin’ in the dark
Kissin’ in the dark
Kissin’ in the dark, honey, that’s my birthmark (Spoken: Yeah, let’s get it now!)

(Instrumental chorus)

Well, you’d better wake up, and try to get wise
Get yourself hip to that old crazy jive
Kissin’ in the dark
Kissin’ in the dark
Kissin’ in the dark, honey, that’s my birthmark (Spoken: I done told you!)

Listening to Memphis Minnie singing KISSING IN THE DARK, made me realize I had gotten away from the blues.
Her sleepy voice, makes me feel at home again. I am coming home to the Delta. Thank you Minnie. You’ll ALWAYS be with us.

Thanks for Minnie. Though I kind of like the sleepy vocals. It might be fun to post Henry Thomas’s Bulldoze Blues. Have you heard it? It’s the one Canned Heat copied their flute solo [and the basis of the song] in Going Up Country. They took it note for note
from Thomas’s solo on the mini pan pipes he wore, while playing the guitar. Or else you might play “Run Molly Run” which also riveting. Keep up the good work
