Lyrics Brooks Run into the Ocean - Eli Green, Mississippi Fred McDowell

Brooks Run into the Ocean

Well, now
Brooks run into the ocean, you know
Ocean run into the sea
If I don’t run into my baby, you know
Somebody got to run into me
But I say, well that’s alright
(guitar)
Lord, I thought I’ll run into my baby ch-i-i-ild
Somebody sho' nuff
Got to run into me, yeah
Yeah, now!
Well, now!
Gonna buy me a bull dog
Tie him in my backyard
That gon' keep my woman
You know from slippin' in the dark
I said, well
(guitar)
What?
Let her go awhile
(guitar)
Well, now
Brook run into the ocean
Ocean run into the sea
I don’t run into my baby
You know my
Somebody got to bury me
But I said, that’s alright
(guitar)
You know that I’ll run to my baby ch-i-i-i-iild
Somebody got to bury me
(guitar)
Yeah!
Yeah!
Well, now
Woked up this mo’nin'
Feelin' bad
Thought about that good lookin' woman
You know, once I’ve had
But I said, that’s alright
(guitar)
Lord, now!
Thought about that woman, man!
Woo, Lord, I once have had, you know
(guitar)
What now!
(guitar to end)
