charley patton - jim lee blues - part i lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
went away up the river some forty mile or more
i think i heard that big jim lee he blowed

[verse 2]
she blow so lonesome,like she wasn’t gonna blow no more
it blowed just like my baby gettin’ on board

[verse 3]
i’m a poor old boy an’ a long way from home
and you causin’ me to leave my plumb good home

[verse 4]
my mama she is dead’ and my father well could be
i ain’t got n0body to feel and care for me

[verse 5]
if you don’t want me just give me your hand
and i’ll get a woman quick as you can a man

[verse 6]
i’ve got a kid on the wheeler and a brown down in town
got a plumb good man bringing down these gals of mine

[verse 7]
i laid my head in a steamer woman’s arms
and she laid her nappy head in mine

[verse 8]
when i got arrested what do you reckon was my fine?
says they give all coons eleven twenty-nine

[verse 9]
it was moonshine, don’t pay me no mind
’cause i did not let no coons have mine

[verse 10]
well the big jim lee keep a-backing up and down
keep standin’ by the sh0r-, man, if you’re water bound
