Take Me Home Poor Julia |
It was down on the old Pontchartrain |
Down among the cotton and the cane |
Oh, the buildings I did make and the houses I did build |
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain |
Take me home, poor Julia, take me home |
Take me home, poor Julia, take me home |
For I have no place for to lay my head |
But to lay in poor Julia’s arms |
Miss Julia and I went a-walking |
Oh, the sun not more than half an hour high |
We walked where the green grass growed up to our knees |
Miss Julia hung her head and she cried |
Take me home, poor Julia, take m home |
Take me hom, poor Julia, take me home |
For I have no place for to lay my head |
But to lay in poor Julia’s arms |
Miss Julia and I were a-sleeping |
When death came a-knocking at the door |
Miss Julia was sleeping in my arms |
On the banks of the old river shore |
Take me home, poor Julia, take me home |
Take me home, poor Julia, take me home |
For I have no place for to lay my head |
But to lay in poor Julia’s arms |
Oh, don’t bury me so deep in my coffin |
Oh, don’t bury me so deep in my grave |
It makes no difference where you bury my body |
Gonna rise at the resurrection day |
Take me home, poor Julia, take me home |
Take me home, poor Julia, take me home |
For I have no place for to lay my head |
But to lay in poor Julia’s arms |
