Screamin' and Hollerin' the Blues Lyrics
Screamin' and Hollerin' the Blues - Charley Patton
Jackson on a high hill mama Natchez just below
Jackson on a high hill mama Natchez just below
I ever get back home I won't be back no more
Oh my mama's gettin' old her head is turnin' gray
My mama's getting old her head is turnin' gray
Don't you know it'll break her heart
Know my livin' this a way
Ever woke up in the mornin'
Jinx all around your bed
Ever woke up in the mornin'
Jinx all around your bed
Children I know how it is baby
Turned my face to the wall and
I didn't have a word to say
No use a hollerin' no use a screamin' and cryin'
No use a hollerin' no use a screamin' and cryin'
For you know you got a home mama
Long as I got mine
Hey Lord have mercy on my wicked soul
Oh Lord have mercy on my wicked soul
You know I wouldn't mistreat you
I wouldn't mistreat you baby for my weight in gold
Oh goin' away baby don't you wanna go
I'm goin' away mama don't you wanna go
I know you wanna go baby
Take God to tell when I'll be back here anymore
