Green River Blues Lyrics

Charley Patton Green River Blues

I went up Green River : rolling like a log

Think I heard : that Marion whistle blow
And it blew just like : my baby getting on board

I'm going : where the Southern cross the Dog

Some people say : the Green River blues ain't bad
Then it must not have been : them Green River blues I had

It was late one evening : everything was still
I could see my baby : upon a lonesome hill

How long : evening train been gone
Yes I'm worried now : but I won't be worried long

I'm going away : to make it lonesome here
