Green River Blues

Green River Blues - Charley Patton

I see a river rollin' like a log

I wade up green river rollin' like a log

I wade up green river Lord rollin' like a log

Think I heard the Marion whistle blow

I dreamed I heard the Marion whistle blow

And it blew just like my baby gettin' on board

I'm goin' where the southern cross the dog

I'm goin' where the southern cross the dog

I'm goin' where the southern cross the dog

Some people say the green river blues ain't bad

Some people say the green river blues ain't bad

Then it must-a not been the green river blues I had

It was late one night everything was still

It was late one night baby everything was still

I could see my baby up on a lonesome hill

How long evenin' train been gone

How long baby that evenin' train been gone

You know I'm worried now but I won't be worried long

I'm goin' away but may get lonesome here

I'm goin' away baby you may get lonesome here

Yes I'm goin' away baby it may get lonesome here
