Grosebeck Blues (Take 2) |
Boy, you may go to Grosebeck to have your trial, but you know the next |
penitentiary’s after while |
You may go to Grosebeck to have your trial, ooh, and the next penitentiary’s |
after awhile |
Yes, if you want to go to penitentiary in a hurry, man, you just go to |
Grosebeck and have your trial |
Yeah, you know, my mama called me, boys, and I answered, «Ma'am?» |
She said, «Son are you tired of working?» |
I said, «Mama, oh mama, yes I am» |
Then, you know, my papa called me, peoples, and I answered, «Sir?» |
He said, «Son, if you’re tired of working down there, what the hell you’re |
gonna stay there for?» |
Grandma said, «Son, if you had been a good boy, yes, and stayed at home, |
you’d have been working for your mama, I’m talking about, and picking up chips |
on your grandma’s farm» |
I can’t do nothing but hang my lonesome head and moan |
Yes you know they got a dog named Rattler |
You know she’s a water dog |
You know she can swim big Brazos, I done swear, man, that dog can walk a foot |
