Lyrics I've Been Driving on Bald Mountian - Odetta

I've Been Driving on Bald Mountian

Well, I’ve been drivin' on Bald Mountain
Well, I’ve been drivin' on Bald Mountain
And I’ve been drivin' on Bald Mountain
You know it’s not my time, buddy, not my time
Looka here, buddy, where’d ja get your learnin'
Looka here, buddy, where’d ja get your learnin'
Looka here, buddy, where’d ja get your learnin'
When you come here, buddy, when you come here?
Well, I got my learnin' on the Big Bend Tunnel
I got my learnin' on the Big Bend Tunnel
Got my learnin' on the Big Bend Tunnel
You know it’s not my time, buddy, not my time
Well, every little thing that you see shinin'
Every little thing that you see shinin'
Every little thing that you see shinin'
Well, that ain’t no gold, buddy, ain’t no gold
Well, I’ve been drivin' since Johnny was a baby
Well, I’ve been drivin' since Johnny was a baby
Well, I’ve been drivin' since Johnny was a baby
You know it’s not my time, buddy, not my time
Well, I’ve been drivin' on Bald Mountain
Well, I’ve been drivin' on Bald Mountain
Well, I’ve been drivin' on Bald Mountain
You know it’s not my time, buddy, not my time
Water Boy
Where are you hidin'?
If you don’t come right here
Goin' tell your paw on you
There ain’t no hammer
On-a this mountain
That can ring like mine, boy
That ring like mine
I’m gonna whop this rock, boy
From here to the Macon
All the way to the jail, boy
Little Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
Know you of old, boy
I know you of old
You done robbed my pockets
Robbed my pockets
Silver and gold, boy
Of silver and gold
(Repeat verses 1−3)
(Repeat verse 1)
