Strange Place Blues

Strange Place Blues - Bukka White

I'm a stranger at this place

And I'm lookin' for my mother's grave

I'm a stranger at this place

And I'm lookin' for my mother's grave

Well it seems like to me

Ooh well some of us goin' to wail

I was at mother's grave

When they put my mother away

I was at mother's grave

When they put my mother away

And I can't find no one

Ooh well to take her place

After my mother was put away

I thought my wife would take her place

After my mother was put away

I thought my wife would take her place

I'll show you difference 'tween a mother and a wife

Well my wife done throw me away

I wished I could find someone

To take my mother's place

I wished I could find someone

To take my mother's place

And if I can't find no one

Ooh well you'll find me at her grave

I'm standin' on my mother's grave

And I wished I could seen her face

I'm standin' on my mother's grave

And I wished I could seen her face

I'll be glad when that day comes

Ooh well when it be to dive me away
