[Charley Patton - Jim Lee Blues - Part I lyrics]

Went away up the river some
Forty mile or more
I think I heard that big Jim Lee he blowed

She blow so lonesome
Like she wasn't gonna blow no more
It blowed just like my baby gettin' on board

I'm a poor old boy an' a long way from home
And you causin' me to leave
My plumb good home

My Mama she is dead' and
My father well could be
I ain't got nobody to feel and care for me

If you don't want me just give me your hand
And I'll get a woman quick as you can a man

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

I laid my head in a steamer woman's arms
And she laid her nappy head in mine

When I got arrested what do
You reckon was my fine?
Says they give all coons eleven twenty-nine

It was moonshine, don't pay me no mind
'Cause, I did not let no coons have mine

Well the big Jim Lee keep
A backing up and down
Keep standin' by the shore, man
If you're water bound
