Joe Turner' Blues |
| This is a song was sung back in 18 and 92 |
| There was a terrible flood that year |
| People lost everything they had |
| Their crops, their live stock |
| That means their horses, their mules, cows |
| Goats and everything they had on their farm |
| And they would start cryin' and singin' this song |
| They tell me, Joe Turner been here and gone |
| Lord, they tell me, Joe Turner been here and gone |
| They tell me, Joe turner been here and gone |
| Then they would go out hunting rabbits, 'coons and 'possoms |
| Anything they could catch |
| Sometimes they would catch something, then again they didn’t |
| And when they would come home, they would find |
| Flour meat and molasses |
| In their homes and they would know that |
| Joe Turner had been there and left food for them |
| And they would start cryin' and singin' this song |
| They tell me, Joe Turner been here and gone |
| Lord, they tell me, that Joe turner been here and gone |
| They tell me, Joe Turner been here and gone |
| Then they would start out lookin' for wood |
| And stuff to make a fire |
| And they would look in their yards, and they would find axes, wood |
| That Joe Turner had brought there for them |
| Then they would get happy |
| And start singin' and cryin' this song |
| They would get happy and do a little boogie-woogie too |
