Elder Greene Blues Lyrics
Elder Greene Blues - Charley Patton
Elder greene is take your time elder greene is gone
Gone way down the country with his long coat on
With his long coat on with his long coat on
Gone way down the country with his long coat on
Elder greene told the deacon let's go down in prayer
It's a big ssociation at new orleans come and let's go there
And if you got a woman want raise her to your hand
Keep away from mamma waling mamma have been lonesome mamma
Well the creek's all muddy and the slough's all dry
If it wasn't for the sweet mouth county boys all the women would die
Don't you leave me here don't you leave me here
Lord I don't care where in world you go don't you leave me here
I like to fuss and fight I like to fuss and fight
Lord and get sloppy drunk offa bottled in bond and walk the streets all night
And walk the streets all night and walk the streets all night
Lordy get sloppy drunk offa bottled in bond and walk the streets all night
Well the creek's all muddy and the slough's all dry
If it wasn't for the sweet mouth county boys all the browns would die
On the road somewhere on the road somewhere
You can find highway robber on the road
On the road somewhere on the road somewhere
You can find highway robber on the road
Elder greene told the deacon let's go down in prayer
You can find highway robber on the road somewhere
