Saint Martha Blues |
My great grandfather back in Lake Providence Louisiana |
He was lynched |
Not only was he lynched |
They took his body and they tore it apart |
And they went to his wife, Martha Jones |
To tell her where she could find her husband |
Poor, poor Martha |
Poor Martha |
Poor Martha Jones |
She got to go downtown |
She got to go |
She got to and find her husband |
They came to the door |
They took, they took him away |
They hung him |
They hung him from the highest tree |
They tore |
They tore his poor body |
They tore his poor body apart |
They tore |
They tore his poor body |
They tore his poor body apart |
Poor, poor Martha |
Poor, saint poor Martha Jones |
Poor, poor, poor Martha |
She got to go |
She got to go and find |
She got to go and find |
She got, got to go and find her husband |
She walking all over town |
She walking |
She walking |
She walking all over town |
She’s dragging |
Ohhh she’s dragging that babe behind her |
She got to go |
She got to go and find her husband |
Ohhh Martha |
Poor saint Martha |
She got to go |
She got to go |
She got |
She got |
She got |
She got |
She got to go and find |
She got to go and find |
She got to go |
