You knew the sun rose this mo'nin

I was layin' down on my flo'

You knew the sun rose this mo'nin

I was layin' down on my flo'

Lord!

No woman to love me

Baby, even no place to go

I been drinkin' water out here

Baby, out a hollow log

I been drinkin' water, baby, lie here

Honey, out a hollow log

I can't be your kid-man

I can't be your kid-man, then

I ain't go w'on a be yo dog

(guitar)

I'm goin' down to river, baby

I'm goin' to

I'm 'on sit down on the ground

I'm goin' to the river, baby

I'm goin' to

I'm 'on sit down on the ground

I'm gonna let the waves of water

The waves of water, baby

Honey, wash my trouble down

(guitar)

I'm goin' down to the river, baby

I'm goin' out here

I'm 'on car' my rockin' chair

Lord, I'm goin' down to the river, baby

I'm goin' to

I'm 'on car' my rockin' chair

I'm 'on ask Mr. Tadpole

Did the blues ev'r stop by here?

(guitar to end)
