Hollers and Blues
4  Oh-h-h-h,
If yo' shoulder bone gets so5 this time. Git you a little sody an' turpentine.
5  Oh-h-h-h,
1 left my home in '84,
And I ain't never been dere no more.
6  Oh-h-h-h,
I know my sweetie goin' open the do', As soon as she hear the Natchez blow.
7  Oh-h-h-h,
The Natchez up the bayou an' she done broke down,
She got her head toward Memphis, but she's New-Orleans-boun'.
8   Oh-h-h-h,
Did you hear Daniel in the lion den? Lord, have mercy, hear me now.
9   Oh-h-h-h,
Po' roustabout don't have no home, Here today and tomorrow gone.
10  Oh-h-h-h,
'Fo' day was my cry, midnight was my creep,
1 got a sweet little gal in big New Orleans, I does all I can to please.
11   Oh-h-h-h,
Catch this here sack, boys, and leave it go,
Take her down the river further, 'cause they ain't no mo'.
