Crossroad

I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
Asked the lord above "Have mercy, save poor Bob, if you please"
Mmmmm, standin' at the crossroad, i tried to flag a ride
Standin' at the crossroad, i tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody semm to know me, everybody pass me by
Mmmm, the sun goin' down, boy, dark gon' catch me here
Oooo, eeee, boy, dark gon' catch me here
I haven't got no lovin' sweet woman that love and feel my care
You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
You can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
Lord i'm standin' at the crossroad, babe, i believe i'm sinkin' down

Me and the Devil blues

Early this morning
When you knocked upon my door
Early this morning, oooo
When you knocked upon my door
And I said hello Satan
I believe it's time to go

Me and the Devil
Was walkin' side by side
Me and the Devil, woooo
Was walking side by side
And I'm going to beat my woman
'Til I get satisfied
She said you don't see why
That she would dog me 'round
(Spoken:) Now baby you know you ain't doin' me right don'tcha
She say you don't see why, whoooo
That she would dog me 'round
It must-a be that old evil spirit
So deep down in the ground
You may bury my body
Down by the highway side
(Spoken:) Baby, I don't care where you bury my body when I'm dead and gone
You may bury my body, woooo
Down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit
Can get a Greyhound bus and ride

Love in Vain

And I followed her to the station, with her suitcase in my hand,
And I followed her to the station, with her suitcase in my hand.
Well, it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell, when all your love's in vain,
All my love's in vain.

When the train rolled up to the station, I looked her in the eye,
When the train rolled up to the station, and I looked her in the eye.
Well, I was lonesome, I felt so lonesome, and I could not help but cry.
All my love's in vain.

When the train, it left the station, there was two lights on behind,
When the train, it left the station, there was two lights on behind,
Well, the blue light was my baby, and the red light was my mind.
All my love's in vain.

Uumh, Willie Mae, Uumh, Willie Mae, Uumh uumh,, all my love's in vain.

Come on in my kitchen

Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
You better come on in my kitchen.
It's goin' to be rainin' outdoors.
When a woman gets in trouble, everybody throws her down.
Lookin' for yo' good friend, none can be found.
You better come on in my kitchen.
It's goin' to be rainin' outdoors.
Nnn, the woman i love, took from my best friend.
Some joker got lucky, stole her back again.
She better come on in my kitchen.
Baby, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors.
(spoken) Mama, can't you hear that wind howl?
(spoken) Oh how the wind do howl!
You better come on in my kitchen
Mmm baby, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
Nnn, the woman that i love, i crave to see
She's up the country, won't write to me
Then, you better come on in my kitchen
Goin' to be rainin' outdoors
I went to the mountain, far as my eyes could see
Some other man got my woman, lonesome blues got me
But she better come on in my kitchen
'Cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
My mama dead, papa well's to be
Ain't got nobody to love and care for me
She better come on in my kitchen
'Cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

From four till late
I was wringing my hands and cryin'
From four till late
I was wringing my hands and cryin'

I believe to my soul that your daddy's Gulfport bound
From Memphis to Norfolk is a thirty-six hour ride
From Memphis to Norfolk is a thirty-six hour ride
A man's like a prisoner and he's never satisfied
A woman is like a dresser
Some man is always rambling through its drawers
A woman is like a dresser
Some man is always rambling through its drawers
It's 'cause so many men wear an apron overhaul

From four until late
She get with a no-good bunch and clown
From four until late
She get with a no-good bunch and clown

From four till late

Now, she won't do nothin'
But tear a good man's reputation down
When I leave this town, I'm 'onna bid you fare, farewell
When I leave this town, I'm 'onna bid you fare, farewell

And when I return again
You'll have a great long story to tell

32-20 Blues lyrics

I sent for my baby, and she don't come
I sent for my baby, man, and she don't come
All the doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her none
And if she gets unruly, thinks she don't want do
If she gets unruly, and thinks she don't want do
Take my 32-20, and cut her half in two
She got a thirty-eight special, but I believe it's most too light
She got a thirty-eight special, but I believe it's most too light
I got a 32-20, got to make the camps alright
If I send for my baby, man, and she don't come
If I send for my baby, man, and she don't come
All the doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her none
I'm gonna shoot my pistol, gonna shoot my Gatlin' gun
I'm gonna shoot my pistol, gonna shoot my Gatlin' gun
You made me love you, now your man have come
Aw baby, where you stay last night?
Ah baby, where you stay last night?
You got your hair all tangled, and you ain't talkin' right
Got a thirty-eight special, boys, it do very well
Got a thirty-eight special, boys, it do very well
I Got a 32-20 now, and it's a burnin --
If I send for my baby, man and she don't come
If I send for my baby, man and she don't come
All the doctors in West Memphis sure can't help her none
Hey hey baby, where you stay last night
Hey hey baby, where you stayed last night
You didn't come home until the sun was shinin bright
Ah boys, I just can't take my rest
Ah boys, I just can't take my rest
With this 32-20 layin up and down my breast

If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day

If I had possession over judgment day
If I had possession over judgment day
Lord, the little woman I'm lovin' wouldn't
Have no right to pray

I went to the mountain, lookin' far as my eyes could see
And I went to the mountain, lookin' far as my eyes could see
Some other man got my woman and the lonesome blues got me
And I rolled and I tumbled and I cried the whole night long
And I rolled and I tumbled and I cried the whole night long
Boy, I woke up this mornin', my biscuit roller gone

Had to fold my arms and I slowly walked away
I didn't like the way she done
Had to fold my arms and I slowly walked away
I said in my mind, yo' trouble gon' come someday

Now, run here, baby, set down on my knee
Now, run here, baby, set down on my knee
I wanna tell you all about the way they treated me

I'm a steady rollin' man, I roll both night and day
I'm a steady rollin' man, I roll both night and day
But I haven't got no sweet woman, boys, to be rollin' this way

I'm A Steady Rollin' Man

I'm the man that rolls when icicle's hangin' on the tree
I'm the man that rolls when icicle's hangin' on the tree
And now you hear me howlin', baby, down on my bended knee
I'm a hard workin' man, have been for many years, I know
I'm a hard workin' man, have been for many long years, I know
And some cream puff's usin' my money
Ooh, babe but that'll never be no more

You can't give your sweet woman
Everything she wants in one time
Ooh ooh, you can't give your sweet woman
Everything she wants in one time
Well, boys, she get ramblin' in her brain
Some monkey man on her mind

I'm a steady rollin' man, I roll both night and day
I'm a steady rollin' man and I roll both night and day
Well, I don't have no sweet woman, boys, to be rollin' this way

Walkin' Blues

I woke up this mornin', feelin' round for my shoes
Know by that I got these old walkin' blues, well
Woke this mornin' feelin round for my shoes
But you know by that, I got these old walkin' blues
Lord I feel like blowin my old lonesome horn
Got up this mornin, my little Bernice was gone, Lord
I feel like blowin my lonesome horn
Well I got up this mornin, whoa all I had was gone
Well, leave this mornin' if I have to, ride the blinds
I feel mistreated, and I don't mind dyin'
Leavin this mornin', if I have to ride the blind
Babe, Ive been mistreated, baby and I don't mind dyin'
Well, some people tell me that the worried blues ain't bad
Worst old feelin' I most ever had
Some people tell me that these old worried old blues ain't bad
It's the worst old feelin', I most ever had
Shes got a elgin movement from her head down to her toes
Break in on a dollar most anywhere she goes
Ooh, from her head down to her toes
Lord, she break in on a dollar, most anywhere she goes
