down the dirt road blues - charley patton lyrics
i’m goin’ away, to a world unknown
i’m goin’ away, to a world unknown
i’m worried now, but i won’t be worried long
my rider got somethin’, she’s tryin’a keep it hid
my rider got somethin’, she’s tryin’a keep it hid
lord, i got somethin’ to find that somethin’ with
i feel like choppin’, chips flyin’ everywhere
i feel like choppin’, chips flyin’ everywhere
i been to the nation1, oh lord, but i couldn’t stay there
some people say them oversea blues ain’t bad
(spoken: why, of course they are)
some people say them oversea blues ain’t bad
(spoken: what was a-matter with ’em?!)
it must not a-been them oversea blues i had
every day seem like murder here
(spoken: my god, i’m no sheriff)
every day seem like murder here
i’m gonna leave tomorrow, i know you don’t bid my care
can’t go down any dirt road by myself
can’t go down any dirt road by myself
(spoken: my lord, who ya gonna carry?)
i don’t carry my2, gonna carry me someone else
