Loading...

[producer]
this is co79149 remake take one ‘levee camp moan’

[son]
i had a job on the levee
i had a good looking woman who lived in hughes
you know i had a job on the levee
i had a good looking woman, who lived in hughes
you know that pretty little thing
she kept me with the government fleet blues

well on every payday
she’d be standing around the landing, crying
on every payday
she’d be standing around the landing, crying
she be saying, “why don’t that big boat hurry
and bring home that man of mine?”

oh, on every payday
she’d be standing around the landing, crying
oh, on every payday
she’d be standing around the landing, crying
you know that done run the girl crazy
i believe imma lose my mind

you know sometimes down the river
she would hear the big boat when she blows
well down the river
she would hear the big boat when she blows
but when i donna get the check
she told me she couldn’t use me no more

you know i told her that’s all right
little girl, that’s all right for you
yeah, hoo, little girl that’s all right for you
you know you treat me low down and dirty
see honey, that’s the way you’s do

you know i left that little girl
she’s sittin’ in the backdoor crying
i left that little girl
sittin’ in the backdoor crying
i said ”if she don’t go crazy, i believe she gonna lose her mind.”

you know i say when you get lonesome
you gonna set right down and write to me
yeah, you can set right down and write to me
yes i can read your little writing baby
don’t care where in this world i’ll be
