Bessie Smith - Weeping Willow Blues[00:00:02]
I went down to the river sat beneath the willow tree;[00:00:12]
The dew dropped on those willow leaves and it rolled right down on me [00:00:24]
And that's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues [00:00:34]
I went up on the mountain high as any girl could stand [00:00:57]
And looked down on the mean town that took away my lovin' man [00:01:08]
And that's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues [00:01:19]
I heard the whistle blowin' the fireman ring the bell [00:01:42]
They're takin' away that willow tree that give me this weepin' spell [00:01:54]
And that's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues [00:02:03]
When you're broken hearted and your man is out of town [00:02:16]
Go to the river take the chains and sit down [00:02:21]
And if he don't come back to you I'll tell you what to do;[00:02:26]
Just jump right overboard 'cause he ain't no more to you [00:02:31]
Folks I love my man I kiss him mornin' noon and night [00:02:37]
I wash his clothes and keep him clean and try to treat him right [00:02:42]
Now he's gone and left me after all I tried to do;[00:02:47]
The way he treats me girls he'll do the same to you [00:02:52]
That's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues[00:02:58]
