Jack White - Matrimonial Intentions Lyrics






You people can talk about your cold-shell roadie mamas
Mama, your chin up about your house being brown
Well I got a woman way down in Mobile, Alabama
She's the warmest thing in that town, doggone her skin

She ain't got no Papa
Leave me alone
She ain't got no big boy
Please take me home

This mama just got one object in view
And what she said to me, I know she's bound to say to you
She'll say, "Papa if you ain't got matrimonial inclinations
Then keep your hands to yourself"
"Daddy, if you ain't got no bungalow-made reservations
Son, don't let your hands be felt"

Well, I'm this red hot Papa you heard so much talk about
But this is an asbestos woman who mortally put your fire out
Papa, you ain't got no matrimonial inclinations
Please keep your hands to yourself

When I first met you, I had no shoes
But look at me now, I got these barefooted blues
Papa, you ain't got no matrimonial intentions
Keep your hands to yourself

Papa, if you ain't got matrimonial inclinations
Please keep your hands to yourself
Daddy, if you ain't got no bungalow-made reservations
Son, don't let your hands be felt

Well I'm this red hot Papa you heard so much talk about
But you're an asbestos woman who mortally put my fire out
Papa, you ain't got no matrimonial intentions
Oh Death, where is thy sting?

    Is there a recording of the original and who made it ??

  16. J.... ....

    I love the fiddlers voice soooo much. Sounds SOOO 20s, love it soo fucking much.

    J.... ....

    Lillie Mae Riche is her name

    J.... ....

    I thought it was Amy Lavere. She plays bass, although I'm sure she can probably find her way around a fiddle, too. Their voices are very similar, and they even look a lot alike.

  17. a.... c....

    when he says "mmm"...i love this song!

  18. S.... T....

    I love Jack white he A unique musician

  24. S.... G....

    Anybody know the name of the female fiddle player?

    S.... G....

    Lillie Mae Rische

    S.... G....

    historycat Thanks! She has a beautiful voice.

  25. A.... K....

    Witty and beautiful 👍🏼

  26. i.... ....

    wow, sounds really 40's

    i.... ....

    You mean classic 1800 western

    i.... ....

    +Kaleb Braun .. NO RECORDINGS from 1800's..it started in the 20's

    i.... ....

    U.S. SAM no shit haha

    i.... ....

    Kaleb Braun the song is about Mobile Alabama so it’s Southern. Sounds like the bridge between bluegrass and the blues.

  27. B.... ....

    Jack White = THE BEST

  28. S.... A....

    Very nice. Thank you.

  29. N.... C....

    gorgeous!

  30. S.... ....

    Is that Carla Azar on the drum?

    S.... ....

    SJB1717 yeah

  31. I.... C....

    You hiring at Third Man Records, Jack? ;)

  32. S.... ....

    fun, fun, fun as usual #TMR 🖤

  33. M.... ....

    I loved this series, I've watched The Sessions episode/film several times now. Wonderful ✨

  34. A.... ....

    Reminds me of Paul MCcartney

  35. R.... ....

    Why is the audio level so low?

    R.... ....

    RadioGuy1000 he's using very old recording equipment

    R.... ....

    Aside from having to jack my audio way up, I thought it was otherwise quite good.

    R.... ....

    It was the 20s man...

  36. F.... M....

    genio jack

  37. M.... ....

    Little Fiddle Darlin' sure did grow her hair fast!

    M.... ....

    depending on when this was filmed- before her hair was cut- means nothing
    or it couldve been filmed several months after, she wouldve had time to grow her hair out

    M.... ....

    she still has short hair, could be this performance is even from the blunderbuss times

    M.... ....

    She stole the show

  38. H.... G....

    Beautiful ♥

  39. L.... M....

    I love Jack he's beautiful in every way

    L.... M....

    +Death To Usernames Have you ever been to one of his concerts? He is imposing, definitely not short ;)

    L.... M....

    I met him Saturday, he is not short

    L.... M....

    He certainly offends in every way.

    L.... M....

    ThereAreSome NunsOnFireOverThere you’re my hero

    L.... M....

    @Death To Usernames Do you know him personally? Many people including lots of famous artists like to hang and make music with him. He loves to be in bands with talented musicians so it looks like his ego has plenty enough space for others including admiring others. Why are you even here commenting? And then to say "Jack White is short" which shows you don't know what you are talking about. He is above average tall in every frame I have ever seen him in. Have you seen him in Concert? I have and he is tall and broad shouldered. Have you read any articles, interviewers comment on his presences because he over 6 foot tall. Be a troll somewhere else.

  40. b.... b....

    nailed the sound (it's perfect)

  41. S.... R....

    Good job Jack White!
