Charley Patton

I see a river rollin like a log
I wade up Green River, rollin like a log
I wade up Green River, Lord, rollin like a log
Think I heard the Marion whistle blow
I dreamed I heard the Marion whistle blow,
and it blew just like my baby gettin on board
Im goin where the Southern cross the Dog2
Im goin where the Southern cross the Dog
Im goin where the Southern cross the Dog
Some people say the Green River blues aint bad
Some people say the Green River blues aint bad
Then it must-a not been the Green River blues I had
It was late one night, everything was still
It was late one night, baby, everything was still
I could see my baby up on a lonesome hill
How long evenin train been gone?
How long, baby, that evenin train been gone?
You know Im worried now but I wont be worried long
Im goin away, but may get lonesome here
Im goin away, baby, you may get lonesome here
Yes, Im goin away, baby, it may get lonesome here
