If I had possession, over judgment day
If I had possession, over judgment day
Lord, the little woman I´m lovin´ wouldn´t, have no right to pray

And I went to the mountain, lookin´ as far as my eyes could see
And I went to the mountain, lookin´ as far as my eyes would see
Some other man got my woman, and these lonesome blues got me

And I rolled and I tumbled and I, cried the whole night long
And I rolled and I tumbled and I, cried the whole night long
Boy, I woke up this mornin´, my biscuit roller gone

Had to fold my arms and I, slowly walked away
(spoken: I didn´t like the way she done)
Had to fold my arms and I, slowly walked away
I said in my mind, "Yo´ trouble gon´ come some day1"

Now run here, baby, set down on my knee
Now run here, baby, set down on my knee
I wanna tell you all about the way they treated me
