Vicksburg Blues |
| 1930 recording |
| I got the Vicksburg Blues and I sing 'em and ache everywhere I go |
| I got the Vicksburg Blues and I sing 'em and ache where I go |
| And the reason I sing 'em is my baby didn’t want me know more |
| I got the Vicksburg Blues and I sing 'em and ache where I sleep |
| I got the Vicksburg Blues and I sing 'em and ache where I sleep |
| And the reason I sing 'em is to give my poor soul ease |
| Now mama I ain’t gonna be your lowdown dog no more |
| And I don’t like this old place, mama, and Lord and I never will |
| And I don’t like this old place, mama, and Lord and I never will |
| All I can sit right here and look at Vicksburg on the hill |
| 1976 recording |
| Now when I went down Mulberry, boys and I turned up clay |
| Now when I went down Mulberry, and boys and I turned up clay |
| I was looking for my baby but she had moved away |
| Some said she moved right on Walnut well, and some say she moved right on Pine |
| Some said she moved right on Walnut, and some say she moved right on Pine |
| Now wherever she will partner, she’s restin' on my mind |
| Now wherever she will partner, she’s restin' on my mind |
| Now just as soon as that train mama, well make up in the yard |
| Now just as soon as that train mama, honey make up in the yard |
| Now I’m Vicksburg board bound that’s if them boys they don’t have me barred |
