Farm Hand Blues Lyrics

Texas Alexander Farm Hand Blues

If I leave here runnin', mama, don't you follow me (2)
If I leave here walking, you can go with me

Sally went to cookin', man, but she didn't know how (2)
Says, she put cayenne pepper, mama, in my hot bow-wow

Says, I'm goin' up the country, mama, don't you want to
go?
I'm goin' up the country, mama, don't you want to go?
Said I need another dozen, right on my right side, sho'

If I'm get lucky, mama, should happen to work (2)
I'm gonna carry my money right on back home again

'D'rather see my coffin easin' through the world
I'd rather see my coffin easin' through the world
Than to see my woman do me like she does

Mmmmm, mmmmm
Than to see my woman do me like she does

I'm scared to go down that big road by myself (2)
'Fore I go, baby, I'll carry me someone else
