[Parchman Farm Blues] [Verse 1] Judge give me life this mornin' Down on Parchman farm Judge give me life this mornin' Down on Parchman farm I wouldn't hate it so bad But I left my wife in mourn [Verse 2] Oh, goodbye wife All you have done gone Oh, goodbye wife All you have done gone But I hope some day You will hear my lonesome song [Verse 3] Oh, listen you men I don't mean no harm Oh, listen you men I don't mean no harm If you wanna do good You better stay off old Parchman farm [Verse 4] We got to work in the mornin' Just at dawn of day We got to work in the mornin' Just at dawn of day Just at the settin' of the sun That's when the work is done [Verse 5] I'll redeem with my home But the men don't want me around I'll redeem with my home But the men don't want me around They say I'll take their women Take them out of town [Verse 6] I'm down on Parchman farm I sho' wanna go back home I'm down on Parchman farm But I sho' wanna go back home But I hope some day I will overcome [Preachin' Blues] [Verse 1] I was up this mornin' Ah, blues walkin' like a man I was up this mornin' Yeah, blues walkin' like a man Worried blues, give me your right hand [Verse 2] And the blues fell mama's child Tore me all upside down Yes You gonna do it? Do it now [Verse 3] And the blues fell mama's child Tore me all upside down Carry on, poor Bob Just can't seem to turn you 'round [Verse 4] And the blues, is a achin' old heart disease And the blues, is a old achin' old heart disease Killing me like consumption Killing me like by degrees [Chorus] I been studyin' the rain Oh, oh, drive Oh, oh, drive my blues away I been studyin' the rain Oh, oh, drive Oh, drive my blues away Goin' out to the 'stil'ry Stay out there all day
