alb-m: levee camp blues, testament tcd6007
well, i worked on the levee
’till i went stone blind
well, i worked on the levee, baby
’till i went stone blind
well, you can’t do me
like you done po’ shine
lord, you took his money
i declare, you can’t take mine
captain, come out drive him
and he won’t go long all around
how can i drive him, captain
and he won’t go long all around?
he won’t eat no oatsmeal or
he won’t even eat his corn
i’m a long line skinner
i got the shortest line
i’m a long time skinner
i got the shortest line
i’m a long line skinner
but i’ve got the shortest line
well, i worked on levee
honey, an i worked old belle
well, i worked old lou captain
lordy, an i worked old belle
i couldn’t find a mule
lord, with a shoulder well
lord, that captain hollerin, ‘hurry’
boy, you know i’m almost flyin
well, that captain hollerin, ‘hurry’
lordy and i’m almost flyin’
lord, he ain’t gotta worry a bit, baby
he won’t even keep time.
(guitar to end)
