Dock Boggs Country Blues |
| Come all you good time people |
| While I ve got money to spend |
| Tomorrow might be monday |
| And I never have a dollar nor a friend |
| When I had plenty of money, good people |
| All my friends would gather around |
| Just soon as my pocket book was empty |
| Not a friend on earth could be found |
| The last time I saw my little woman, good people |
| Had a wine glass in her hand |
| She’s drinking away all her troubles |
| With a lowdown sorry man |
| My papa taught me a plenty, good people |
| My mama taught me more |
| If I don’t quit my lowdown rowdy ways |
| I m gonna have more trouble at my door |
| I wrote my woman a letter, good people |
| And I told her I was in jail |
| She wrote me back an answer |
| Said now honey I m soon come and go your bail |
| All around this old jail house is haunted, good people |
| Forty dollars won’t pay my fine |
| Corn liquor surrounds my body |
| And pretty women aching my mind |
| If I would’ve listened to my mama, good people |
| I wouldn’t have been here today |
| Drinking and shooting and gambling |
| At home I could not stay |
| Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow |
| Dig a hole in the ground |
| When I m dead and buried, my pale face turned toward the sun |
| You can come and see the way you have done |
| Give me corn bread when I m hungry, good people |
| Corn whisky when I m dry |
| Pretty women surrounding my body |
| And bring me heaven when I die |
