Wartime Blues

Wartime Blues - Blind Lemon Jefferson

What you going to do when they send your man to war

You what going to do when they send man to your war

What you going to do when they send your man to war

I'm going to drink muddy water go sleep in a hollow log

Ain't got nobody i'm all here by myself

Ain't got nobody i'm all here by myself

Ain't got nobody i'm all here by myself

Well these women don't care but the men don't need me

Here

Well i'm going to the river going to walk it up and down

Well i'm going to the river walk it up and down

Well i'm going to the river walk it up and down

If i don't find fourteen i'm going to jump overboard and drown

If i shine could my light like a headlight on some train

If i could shine my light like a headlight on some train

If i could shine my light like a headlight on some train

I would shine my light in corinna's brain

Well they tell me that southbound train had a wreck last night

That southbound train had a wreck last night

That southbound train had a wreck last night

You little section foreman ain't treating your railroad right

Well the girl i love is the one i crave to see

Woman i love the one i crave to see

Woman i love the one i crave to see

Well she's living in memphis and the fool won't write to me

Now tell me woman what have i said and done

Ooee mama what have i said and done

Ooee mama what have i said and done

You treat me like my trouble have just begun
