An' if I get drunk in yo' city, ole woman, Lord, Lord,
An' someone come an' fall down at yo' door,
Don't you run yo' hand in my pocket, ole woman, Lord, Lord,
An' take all my silver an' all my gold.
'Case I ain't been there but I been told, Lord, Lord,
That there ain't no Heaven on de county road.
She'll take a stranger on her knee, knee, knee,
An' she'll tell him things that she won't tell me,
An' if I get killed in Arkansas-saw-saw,
Won't you send my body to my mother-in-law.

4. "CANNED HEAT BLUES" 5:25
(Tommy Johnson)
When I'm walking in the morning I see canned heat* on my mind
Woked up this morning, I see canned heat on my mind
Woked up this morning with the canned heat on my mind
My mama, my mama crying canned heat killing me
Mama cryin, mama crying, it's killing me
Canned heat don't kill me, you know I'll never die
Oh my mama cryin', canned heat killing me
Brownskin women don't do the easy roll
That's why canned heat is round my bed
I woked up this morning canned heat round my bed
When I woked up this morning canned heat round my bed
Run here somebody, run here somebody
Take this blues away, take my blues away
Brownskin women don't do the easy roll
Canned heat, don't kill me, you know I'll never die
Canned heat, don't kill me, you know I'll never die
Canned heat, don't kill me, you know I'll never die
a particularly lethal drink which was obtained by extracting the alcohol from solidified methylated spirits which was sold as a fuel for outdoor cooking. Canned heat could be bought from street dealers who had made a business out of this process during the prohibition era.

"GEORGIE BUCK'S BAHAMA BEACH"
(based on a traditional song)
Oh Georgie Buck, oh Georgie Buck
Oh Georgie Buck, oh Georgie Buck
Oh Georgie Buck said so
Georgie Buck is dead and the last words he said
He said he didn' want no shortning in his bread
Shortning in his bread, swimming in his head
Oh Georgie Buck, oh Georgie Buck
Oh Georgie Buck said so
Georgie Buck is dead and the last words he said
He said never give a woman her way
If you give her a way, she'll be gone all day
He said never give a woman her way

"PALLET ON YOUR FLOOR”
(Mississipi John Hurt)
Oh make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me a pallet down,
Make it soft, make it low
So my gal will never know
Make me a pallet on your floor
I will give everybody my regards
Even if I'll have to ride the rods
If I'll make Atlanta with no place to go
Make me pallet on your floor
Oh make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me a pallet down,
Make it soft, make it low
So my gal will never know
Make me a pallet on your floor

9. "WASHINGHTON D.C.” 4:02
(Skip James)
I'm in the hospital
Washington D.C.
Ain't got nobody
To see about me
You know I'm's a good man
But I'm's a po' man
You can understand
All the doctors
And nurses, too
They come and ask me
'Who in the world are you?'
I say, I'm the good man
But I'm's a po' man
You can understand
The doctors and nurses
They shakin' their heads
Say, 'Take this po' man
And put him to bed'
You know he's a good man
But he's a po' man
We can understand
I met a little lady
She promised me
That she would love me
And always be sweet
She found out I was a po' man
And thus I was a good man
She couldn't understand, no
Now, when she left me
She got in the do'
Waved me, good-bye
I haven't seen her no mo'
You know I'm a good man
But I'm a po' man
You can understand
The doctors and nurses
They shakin' my hand
'You can go home now, Skip
You're a sound, well man'
You know you're a good man
But you're a po' man
We can understand
I'd thankin' my doctor
And I was shakin' his hand
I'll play this Blues
'Till you're a wealthy man'
You knew I was a good man
But I was a po' man
You could understand

The blu-u-u-u-ues

spoken: Yes, preach 'em now.
Mmmmm mmmmm

You ain't never had 'em, I

Well, the blues

Tell me about it.
Let the blues

Like consumption

oh, ohm drive, oh, oh, drive my blues
I been studyin' the rain and
I'm 'on drive my blues away
Goin' to the 'stil'ry
stay out there all day
