Tom Rushen Blues Lyrics
Tom Rushen Blues - Charley Patton
Written by：Charley Patton
Laid down last night hoping I would have my peace eee
I laid down last night hoping I would have my peace eee
But when I woke up tom rushen was shaking me
When you get in trouble
It's no use to screaming and crying hmm
When you get in trouble
It's no use to screaming and crying hmm
Tom rushen will take you
Back to the prison house flying
It were late one night
Halloway was gone to bed hmm
It were late one night
Halloway was gone to bed hmm
Mister day brought whiskey
Taken from under Halloway's head
An' it's boozy booze now lord to cure these blues
It takes boozy boo' lord to cure these blues
But each day seems like years
In the jailhouse where there is no boo'
I got up this morning tom day was standing around
I got up this morning tom day was standing around
If he lose his office now he's running from town to town
Let me tell you folksies just how he treated me
Let me tell you folksies just how he treated me
Aw he caught me yelling I was drunk as I could be
