Rememberance of Charlie Patton - Bukka White[00:00:00]

Always wanted to be[00:00:00]

Like old Charlie Patton [00:00:01]

Long ago when I was a kid [00:00:02]

I hear him an[00:00:03]

Play those numbers about:[00:00:05]

'I'll hitch up my buggy[00:00:08]

And saddle my black mare'[00:00:09]

An I used to pick cotton[00:00:12]

An come around[00:00:13]

In Clarksdale after them cafes [00:00:14]

Eatin' cheese[00:00:17]

An cracker [00:00:19]

None of the other boys[00:00:21]

They didn't have an idea[00:00:22]

What I was thinkin' [00:00:23]

I say I wants to come to[00:00:23]

Be a great man like[00:00:25]

Charlie Patton [00:00:26]

But I didn't want to get killed[00:00:27]

He did [00:00:29]

The way he had to go [00:00:30]

I've always realized I knew[00:00:31]

I had to die but I didn't[00:00:32]

Want one of those ol'[00:00:34]

Sand-foot woman womens to[00:00:35]

Come up and cut my throat[00:00:37]

Or do somethin' to me[00:00:38]

That was unnecessary [00:00:39]

And so goes on down[00:00:40]

And got me old piece a-guitar [00:00:43]

And I always wanted to play about[00:00:45]

'Hitch up my buggy [00:00:48]

Saddle up my black mare[00:00:49]

I wanna find my baby in this[00:00:51]

Great big world somewhere [00:00:53]

And I got chance[00:00:55]

Before he was passed [00:00:56]

So he wasn't even thinkin'[00:01:00]

About passing [00:01:01]

And I shaked his hand once [00:01:02]

His brother in Clarksdale[00:01:03]

Have a brother that[00:01:04]

Work at The Compress [00:01:05]

And I said if I ever lived[00:01:07]

To get half way grown[00:01:09]

Or grown I would wanna be[00:01:11]

Just like Charlie Patton was [00:01:12]

An after I heard about his death[00:01:14]

After I got might near grown[00:01:17]

I would have liked at that time[00:01:19]

To met the one that caused[00:01:21]

Him to have that dead [00:01:22]

'Cause he was a great boy [00:01:24]

And ah he used to play-a [00:01:26]

A number by[00:01:28]

'Old blue jumped the rabbit[00:01:29]

And they runnin' one sold mile''[00:01:31]

When the rabbit fell dead [00:01:33]

He cried just like a child' [00:01:34]

And you know I felt so good over[00:01:37]

That I quit eatin' rabbit [00:01:39]

'Cause them rabbit you know[00:01:40]

Do holler when the dog[00:01:41]

Catch up to 'em He could[00:01:42]

Bit in a newborn baby[00:01:43]

And they was screamin' and cry'nin' [00:01:44]

And ah after I hear [00:01:46]

Charlie Patton went on[00:01:48]

An play that number [00:01:49]

I 'cide I just stop eat rabbit[00:01:50]

If had my dog catch 'em[00:01:52]

And I take away from 'em [00:01:53]

And so as I went on to say [00:01:55]

You know Clarksdale[00:01:57]

Is a little old small town that-a-way [00:01:58]

A lot of good boys been in there [00:02:00]

But in traveling through[00:02:02]

Them little small town[00:02:03]

Like that a good thing[00:02:04]

I found a good man can do[00:02:06]

Is take it easy and take[00:02:08]

His time and don't fool with[00:02:09]

Things that you don't have [00:02:11]

Ah that's not worthwhile [00:02:13]

You don't have time even [00:02:15]

To fool around with [00:02:17]

Just take life easy [00:02:18]

'Cause ev'rything shine like gold[00:02:20]

And gold you know [00:02:21]

They's a lot of brass[00:02:22]

You know shine like gold [00:02:23]

And so Charlie Patton[00:02:24]

Used to sing that song about[00:02:25]

'Hitch up my buggy[00:02:27]

And saddle up my black mare'[00:02:28]

And I hear would just[00:02:30]

Knock me off my feet [00:02:32]

I was bare-feeted [00:02:33]

Little bare-feeted boy too [00:02:34]

And I like it so well after[00:02:36]

I growed up the first[00:02:37]

Record I put out when[00:02:39]

I was comin' up about[00:02:41]

'Downtown women[00:02:42]

Sickin' them dogs on me' [00:02:44]

I was one that kind-a compare with it [00:02:44]

Ah I think I made a pretty[00:02:47]

Good hit on that [00:02:49]

But now I done forgot[00:02:50]

I don't play it so much [00:02:51]

But at that time he was[00:02:53]

Goin' so good you know [00:02:54]

And ah if he's got any friends or relative[00:02:56]

His mother or father wherever might be[00:02:59]

To hear me sayin' that[00:03:01]

I just wanna let 'em know[00:03:02]

That:[00:03:04]

'Old remember [00:03:04]

Never do be forgotten' [00:03:05]

Things that then went on you know [00:03:06]

So I gratulates to it [00:03:08]

To all his friends [00:03:10]

His cousins to ev'rything [00:03:11]

I tried to be the second behind[00:03:13]

Old Big Charlie Patton [00:03:15]

He really did [00:03:17]

And to tell you the truth[00:03:19]

The first drank of whiskey[00:03:20]

That I ever dranken[00:03:21]

Charlie Patton give me a[00:03:22]

Little in a spoon [00:03:24]

He said 'You're too young[00:03:25]

To drink too much whiskey'[00:03:26]

But I'm 'onna give you enough[00:03:28]

To know what it's about [00:03:29]

And I still think about that [00:03:30]

I wish I'd aks him to gimme the spoon [00:03:32]

And so while we're here[00:03:34]

I rather thinkin' of[00:03:36]

Old time thing like that[00:03:38]

We've got to take thing 'un[00:03:40]

Of consideration [00:03:41]

You know thing like that[00:03:42]

Suppose to bring a man mind back [00:03:43]

If you're goin' too fast[00:03:46]

You're suppose to[00:03:48]

Take a consideration[00:03:48]

An settle down and think about [00:03:50]

'Cause that's your[00:03:52]

Best you can hardly get over [00:03:53]

I just wish the day[00:03:55]

I could shake Charlie Patton hand[00:03:56]
