Leevee Camp Blues |
| Well, I worked on the levee |
| Till I went stone blind |
| Well, I worked on the levee, baby |
| Till I went stone blind |
| Well, you can’t do me |
| Like you done po' shine |
| Lord, you took his money |
| I declare, you can’t take mine |
| Captain, come out drive him |
| And he won’t go long all around |
| How can I drive him, captain? |
| And he won’t go long all around |
| He won’t eat no oatmeal |
| Or he won’t even eat his corn |
| I’m a long line skinner |
| I got the shortest line |
| I’m a long time skinner |
| I got the shortest line |
| I’m a long line skinner |
| But I’ve got the shortest line |
| Well, I worked on levee |
| Honey and I worked old Belle |
| Well, I worked old Lou Captain |
| Lordy and I worked old Belle |
| I couldn’t find a mule |
| Lord with a shoulder well |
| Lord, that captain hollerin, hurry |
| Boy, you know I’m almost flyin' |
| Well, that captain hollerin, hurry |
| Lordy and I’m almost flyin' |
| Lord, he ain’t gotta worry a bit, baby |
| He won’t even keep time |
