Jim Lee Blues - Part 1 |
| 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 |
