Screamin' and Hollerin' the Blues - Charlie Patton

Jackson on a high hill mama natchez just below

Jackson on a high hill mama natchez just below

I ever get back home I won't be back no more

Oh my mama's gettin' old her head is turnin' gray

My mama's getting old her head is turnin' gray

Don't you know it'll break her heart

Know I livin' this a way

Ever woke up in the mornin' jinx all around your bed

Ever woke up in the mornin' jinx all around your bed

Children I know how it is baby

Turned my face to the wall and I didn't have a word to say

No use a hollerin' no use a screamin' and cryin'

No use a hollerin' no use a screamin' and cryin'

For you know you got a home mama long as I got mine

Hey lord have mercy on my wicked soul

Oh lord have mercy on my wicked soul

You know I wouldn't mistreat you

I wouldn't mistreat you baby for my weight in gold

Oh goin' away baby don't you wanna go

I'm goin' away mama don't you wanna go

I know you wanna go baby

Take god to tell when I'll be back h
