Death Blues

歌詞

Spoken: You know, I walk along sometime, to myself. I wonder, "Does ev'ybody have the same idea that I got?" Sometime I has a mind to leave this place. I tell my people that sometime--but they say: "You know, you doin' time." Yeah, I do know I'm doin' time, but I thinks about my brother then. All of them is well, and I'm the one that's been hangin' around here. I take the blues bad sometimes. I got somethin' to tell you, baby, but I hate to tell you this. You may not want to hear it. Sometime I be walkin' along, feel like to me I'm gon' fall dead. She asks me what's wrong with me. I don't know, maybe my nerves bad. 'Cause I don't drink that much. But I think the most of it--just about worked out. But you know, the way I work outchere, baby, now, it's many mornin' to go back there and work. You know, they, they do allow a man a break up there. But I ain't had nary here, since I been here. Work you up in there. Sung: But I don't blame nobody, nobody but myself I don't blame nobody, baby, nobody but myself Lord, what I did down there, brought it all on myself You better draw me an insurance, darlin' So you can have somebody to debt on me 'Cause I liable to haul off and die, baby Ain't about the thing that you get after my death
