Illinois Blues 1931 Recording Lyrics by Skip James

0

If you go to Banglin' tell all my boys
If you go to Banglin' tell all my boys
The time I had in Illinois, in Illinois, in Illinois
In Illinois, in Illinois
You get there before I do
You get there before I do
Tell my boys I'm comin' too, comin' too,comin' too
Tell my boys I'm comin' too
Tell my boys I'm comin' too
Tell me where'd you stay last night
Tell me where'd you stay last night
Come home this mornin' the sun was bright
Shinin' bright, shinin' bright
Come home this mornin' the sun was bright
I gin my cotton and sell my seed
I gin my cotton and sell my seed
Gon' give my baby, everything she needs, everything she needs, everything she needs
Gon' give my baby, everything she needs
Gon' give my baby, everything she needs
Sewed a hole in my pocket so my change won't loose
Sewed a hole in my pocket so my change won't loose
Gon' buy my baby some Brogan shoes, Brogan shoes, Brogan shoes
Gon' buy my baby some Brogan shoes
You can tear that big road down
You can tear that big road down
But you can't raise the mornin' gown, mornin' gown, mornin gown', mornin' gown, mornin' (gown)
