brown's ferry blues [live in new york / 1970] - doc watson lyrics

[verse 1]
hard luck papa comin’ down the lane
mama give him back his walkin’ cane
lord, lord, i got them brown’s ferry blues
thrown it away and he went to town
to see that woman and now he’s down
lord, lord, i got them brown’s ferry blues

[verse 2]
hard luck papa gettin’ too tired
if he don’t quit drinkin’, he’ll be high as a kite
lord, lord, i got them brown’s ferry blues
he’s drinkin’ that block and tackle kind
he can walk a block and tackle a lion
lord, lord, i got them brown’s ferry blues

[verse 3]
i walked up to my girl’s old man
and i asked him for my true love’s hand
lord, lord, i got them brown’s ferry blues
he said, “you la*la*little galoot”
and instead of her hand, i got his foot
lord, lord, i got them brown’s ferry blues

[verse 4]
hard luck papa standin’ in the rain
if the world was corn, he couldn’t buy grain
lord, lord, i got them brown’s ferry blues
he runs around in secondhand clothes
you can smell his feet wherever he goes
lord, lord, i got them brown’s ferry blues
[verse 5]
revenue man took my gin
i hope they won’t come back again
lord, lord, i got them brown’s ferry blues
took my sweetie with them too
’cause she’d had a little drink or two
lord, lord, i got them brown’s ferry blues
said that’s why he took her
