Revenue Man Blues Lyrics
Revenue Man Blues - Charlie Patton
Written by：Charlie Patton
Lord the revenue men is ridin' boy you'd better look out
Aw sure if it ain't purvis
Lord the revenue men is ridin' boy you'd better look out
Boy if he hollers at you you don't stop boy
If he hollers at you don't stop you will likely be knocked out
Well I don't allow her salt water well she always wants a drink
Got to have a drink
I don't allow her salt water she always wants a drink
Wanna drink see you with a bottle though
If they see you with a bottle they will almost break your neck
Oh take me home through lord that shy nest door
Aw sure
I said take me home through that shy nest door
She don't need no telephone to get there aw sure
She don't need no telephone daddy will take you in his car
Oh come on mama let us go to the edge of town
Aw sure
Come on mama let us go to the edge of town
Baby I know where charley's got his other nest built at
I know where there's another bird nest built down on the ground
Oh I wake up every mornin' now with the jinx all around my bed
Aw sure
I wakes up every mornin' with the jinx all around my bed
You know I have them jinx here now
I have been a good provider but I believe I've been misled
