Tom Rushen Blues Lyrics
Tom Rushen Blues - Charley Patton
Laid down last night hopin i would have my peace eee
I laid down last night hopin i would have my peace eee
But when i woke up tom rushen1 was shakin me
When you get in trouble
It's no use to screamin and cryin hmm
When you get in trouble
It's no use to screamin and cryin hmm
Tom rushen will take you
Back to the prison house flyin
It were late one night
Halloway was gone to bed hmm
It were late one night
Halloway was gone to bed hmm
Mister day2 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 mornin tom day was standin around
I got up this mornin tom day was standin around
If he lose his office now he's runnin from town to town
Let me tell you folksies just how he treated me
Let me tell you folksies just how he treated me
A he caught me yellin i was drunk as i could be
