Jim Lee Blues (Pt. 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 |
