Charley Patton - Green River Blues lyrics
[Charley Patton - Green River Blues lyrics]
I wade up Green River, rollin' like a log
I wade up Green River, Lord
Rollin' like a log
Think I heard the Marion whistle blow
I dreamed I heard the Marion whistle blow
And it blew just like my
Baby gettin' on board
I'm goin' where the Southern cross the Dog
I'm goin' where the Southern cross the Dog
I'm goin' where the Southern cross the Dog
Some people say the Green
River blues ain't bad
Some people say the Green
River blues ain't bad
Then it must-a not been the
Green River blues I had
It was late one night, everything was still
It was late one night, baby
Everything was still
I could see my baby up on a lonesome hill
How long evenin' train been gone?
How long, baby, that evenin' train been gone?
You know I'm worried now but
I won't be worried long
I'm goin' away, but may get lonesome here
I'm goin' away, baby
You may get lonesome here
Yes, I'm goin' away, baby
It may get lonesome here
