norman blake - down home summertime blues lyrics

[verse 1]
walking down the track, crossing all the bridges
just a+rambling all over them long tall ridges
lord, i got them down home summertime blues
me and benny joe and his brother named water boy
all went down to see old uncle roy
lord, i got them down home summertime blues

[verse 2]
what’s that making that terrible roar?
all that fuss down by the store
lord, i got them down home summertime blues
cotton gin a+hummin’, and the seagulls flyin’
barefoot children just a+fightin’ and cryin’
lord, i got them down home summertime blues

[verse 3]
wеll, down by the water tank, down by the dеpots
see that train just a+rollin’ in really slow
lord, i got them down home summertime blues
hot box burning in the sandpipe flowin’
brass bell ringin’ and the black smoke flowin’
lord, i got them down home summertime blues

[verse 4]
going to the creek just to go in swimmin’
thinkin’ all about them pretty young women
lord, i got them down home summertime blues
sittin’ on the bank in the dark, cool and shade
just a+talkin’ all about them uptown ladies
lord, i got them down home summertime blues
[verse 5]
look at them cows and the h+rny old cattle
just a+trompin’ that cane and makin’ it rattle
lord, i got them down home summertime blues
chewing them stalks and pickin’ that fodder
givin’ that milk and good sweet b+tter
lord, i got them down home summertime blues

[verse 6]
silver rails and the talkin’ wires
black cross+ties and the hobos’ fires
lord, i got them down home summertime blues
sittin’ on the platform starin’ at a boxcar
slidin’ and a+pickin’ that depot guitar
lord, i got them down home summertime blues
