Charley Patton Hammer Blues
Going to buy me a hammock : carry it underneath through
the trees
So when the wind blow : the leaves may fall on me
Go on baby : you can have your way
Sister : every dog sure must have his day
They got me in shackles : I'm wearing my ball and chain
And they got me ready : for that Parchman train
I went to the depot : I looked up at the board
And the train had left : went steaming on up the road
I went way up Red River : crawlin' on a log
I think I heard : the Bob Lee boat when she moaned
