Leaving Blues Lyrics by Lead Belly

Leadbelly’s Last Sessions Vol. 1

0

I'm leavin' in the morning, mama, and I don't know where to go
I'm leavin' in the morning, mama, and I don't know where to go
'Cause the woman I been livin with for twenty years, mama, says she don't want me no more

Rather see my coffin comin', ooh-Lordy, Lord, in my backdoor
Rather see my coffin comin', ooh-Lordy, Lord, in my backdoor
Than to hear that good lookin' woman tel me to my face, mama, that she can't use me no more

Papa may be crazy this time, ooh, papa ain't nobody's fool
Papa may be crazy this time, ooh, papa ain't nobody's fool
Tis way you carry on mama, boy, she's buckin' like a Georgia mule

I feel like walkin', mama, ooh, and I feel like lyin' down
An' I feel lile walkin', mama, ooh, and I feel like lyin' down
'Cause the woman I been livin' for twenty years, mama, Lord, she done throwed me down

I got holes in my pocket, baby, ooh, I got patches on my pants
Holes in my pocket, baby, ooh, patches on my pants
I'm behind in my house rent, mama, Landlord he want it all in advance
