Country Blues (乡村蓝调) - Dock Boggs[00:00:00]
Written by:R. D. Boggs[00:00:00]
Come all you good time people[00:00:01]
While I've got money to spend[00:00:05]
Tomorrow might be Monday[00:00:09]
And I'll neither have a dollar nor a friend[00:00:13]
When I had plenty of money good people[00:00:23]
My friends were all standing around[00:00:27]
Just as soon as my pocket book was empty[00:00:31]
Not a friend on earth to be found[00:00:35]
Last time I seen my little woman good people[00:00:39]
She had a wine glass in her hand[00:00:43]
She was drinking down her troubles[00:00:47]
With a low-down sorry man[00:00:51]
Oh my Daddy taught me a plenty good people[00:01:00]
My Mama she taught me more[00:01:05]
If I didn't quit my rowdy ways[00:01:08]
Have trouble at my door[00:01:12]
I wrote my woman a letter good people[00:01:16]
I told her I was in Jail[00:01:20]
She wrote me back an answer[00:01:24]
Sayin' honey I'm a coming go your bail[00:01:27]
All around this old jailhouse is haunted good people[00:01:32]
Forty dollars won't pay my fine[00:01:36]
Corn whiskey has surrounded my body poor boy[00:01:40]
And pretty woman is troubling my mind[00:01:43]
Give me corn bread when I'm hungry good people[00:01:48]
Corn whiskey when I'm dry[00:01:52]
Pretty women a-standing around me[00:01:55]
Sweet heaven when I die[00:01:59]
If I don't listen to my Mama good people[00:02:09]
I would not be here today[00:02:13]
But a drinking and a shooting and a gambling[00:02:17]
At home I cannot stay[00:02:20]
Go dig a hole in the meadow good people[00:02:24]
Go dig a hole in the ground[00:02:29]
Come around all you good people[00:02:32]
And see this poor rounder go down[00:02:36]
When I am dead and buried[00:02:39]
My pale face turned to the sun[00:02:44]
You can come around and mourn little woman[00:02:47]
And think the way you have done[00:02:50]
