Furry Lewis — I Will Turn Your Money Green

When I was in Missouri would not let me be When I was in Missouri would not let me be Wouldn't rest content till I came to Tennessee If you follow me baby, I'll turn your money green If you follow me baby, I'll turn your money green I show you more money Rockefeller ever seen If the river was whiskey baby and I was a duck River was whiskey baby and I was a duck I'd dive to the bottom, Lord, and I'd never come up Lord, woman I hate, I see her every day Woman I hate, I see her every day But the woman I love she's so far 'way Talk about sweetheart, I declare I'm a honest man Talk about sweetheart, I declare I'm a honest man Give my woman so many dollars it broke her apron string All she give me was trouble, I'm troubled all the time All she give me was trouble, I'm troubled all the time I been troubled so long trouble don't worry my mind I been down so long, it seem like up to me I been down so long, it seem like up to me Woman I love, she done quit, poor me What's the need of me hollering What's the need of me crying Woman I love, she don't pay me no mind
