Charley Patton - 34 Blues
I ain't gonna tell nobody, '34 have done for me
I ain't gonna tell nobody, what ‘34 have done for me
Took my roller, I was broke as I could be
They run me from Will Dockery's, Willie Brown, I want your job
They run me from Will Dockery's, Willie Brown, I want your job
(Buddy, what's the matter?)
I went out and told Papa Charley,
"I don't want you hangin' round on my job no more"
Fella, down in the country, it almost make you cry
Fella, down in the country, it almost make you cry
(My God, children!)
Women and children flaggin' freight trains for rides
Herman got a little six Buick, big six Chevrolet car
Herman got a little six Buick, little six Chevrolet car
(My God, what solid power!)
And it don't do nothin' but, follow behind Harvey Parker's plow
And it may bring sorrow, Lord, it may bring cheer
It may bring sorrow, Lord, and it may bring cheer
Oh Lord, oh Lord, let me see your brand new year
I ain't going to tell nobody, thirty-four have done for me
I ain't going to tell nobody what thirty-four have done for me
Took my roll, Lord, I was broke as I could be
They run me from Will Dockery's, Willie Brown, I want your job
They run me from Will Dockery's, Willie Brown, I want your job
spoken: Buddy, what's the matter?
Ah, one of them told papa Charley «I don't want you hanging around my job no more»
Well, look down the country, it almost make you cry
Well, look down the country, it almost make you cry
spoken: My God, children!
Women and children flagging freight trains for rides
Carmen got a little Six Buick, big Six Chevrolet car
Carmen got a little Six Buick, little Six Chevrolet car
spoken: My God, what solid power!
And id don't do nothing but follow behind Holloway's farmer's plow
And it may bring sorrow, Lord, and it may bring tears
It may bring sorrow, Lord, and it may bring tears
Oh Lord, oh Lord, let me see your brand new year
