Jim Lee Blues - Part I Lyrics by Charley Patton

Screamin ‘And Hollerin’ The Blues (The World Of Charley Patton)

0

[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 nobody 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 shore, man, if you're water bound
