Blue Harvest Blues

Blue Harvest Blues - Mississippi John Hurt

Standing on the mountain

Far as I can see

Standing on the mountain

Just far as I can see

Dark clouds above me

Clouds all around poor me

Feeling low and weary

Lord

I've got a trouble in mind

Feeling low and weary

Lord

I've got a trouble in mind

Everything that gets me

Everybody's so unkind

Harvest time's coming

And will catch me unprepared

Harvest time's coming

And will catch me unprepared

Haven't made a dollar

Bad luck is all I've had

Lord

How can I bear it

Lord

What will the harvest bring

Lord

How can I bear it

Lord

What will the harvest bring

Putting up all my money

And I isn't got a doggone thing

I'm a weary traveler roaming

Around from place to place

I'm a weary traveler roaming

Around from place to place

If I don't find something

This will end me in disgrace

Ain't got no mother

Father left me long ago

Ain't got no mother

Father left me long ago

I'm just like a orphan

Where my folks is I don't know

Blues around my shoulder

Blues all around my head

Blues around my shoulder

Blues all around my head

With my heavy burden

Lord

I wished I was dead
