Hammer Blues Lyrics
Hammer Blues - Charley Patton
Gonna buy me a hammock
Carry it underneath through the tree
Gonna buy myself a hammock
Carry it underneath through
So when the wind blow the leaves may fall on me
Go on baby you can have your way
Ball on baby you can have your way
Sister every dog sure must have his day
Got me shackled I'm wearin' a ball and
They've got me shackled I'm wearin' my ball and chain
And they got me ready for that parchman train
I went to the depot I looked up at the board
I went to the depot I looked up at the board
If this train has left well it's tearin' off up the road
Clothes I buy baby honey you gonna 'pre
You're gonna appreciate honey all clothes I'll buy
I will give you all my lovin' baby 'til the day I die
I went way up red river crawlin' on the
I went up red river crawlin' on a log
I think I heard the Bob Lee boat when she moaned
