Blind Lemon Jefferson Oil Well Blues
There ain't nothing mama : no use
There's a long distance well : and it's blowing oil
that's all
Ain't nothing to hurt you : it ain't nothing that's bad
It's the first oil well : that *your* ??? ever had
I'm a long distance driller : and I work every country
through
Going to stop working : if I bring in this well for you
I'm a mean old well driller : and I been a driller since
I been a man
Ain't going to stop drilling : till I strikes that
*Woodburn sand*
I got a [mean] reputation : and they call me Drilling Sam
When I starts to drilling : you hear women hollering too
black bad
