Riverside Blues Lyrics

Sam Collins Riverside Blues

I went down to the river : just thirty‑one days and
nights
I'm looking for my good gal : come back and treat me
right

I ain't got me nobody : carry my troubles to
I tell you peoples : I don't know what to do

Just as sure as your train : Lord backs up in your yard
I'm going to see my baby : if I have to ride the rods

I went away last summer : got back in the fall
My mind had a‑changed : I wouldn't have come back at all

You can press my jumper : iron my overalls
I'm going to the station : meet the Cannonball
