Charley Patton Bird Nest Bound
Come on mama : go to the edge of town
I know where there's a bird nest : built down on the
ground
If I was a bird mama : I would build a nest in the heart
of town
So when the town get lonesome : I'd be bird nest bound
Hard luck is at your front door : blues are in your room
Callin' at your back door : what's gonna become of you
Sometimes I say I need you : then again I don't
Sometimes I think I'll quit you : then again I won't
Oh I remember one morning : standing in my baby's door
Look a‑here papa Charley : I don't want you no more
Take me home sweet home : baby to that shining star
You don't need no telling : mama take you in my car
