Revenue man blues (version 1)
Charley patton
Aw, the revenue man is ridin',
boy, you'd better look out
(spoken: High sheriff ain't purrty
Aw, the revenue man is ridin',
boy, you'd better look out
(spoken: Boy, if he hollers you, you don't stop, boy)
If he hollers you, don't stop,
you will likely be knocked out
Oh, a doney loves her saltwater,
well, she always wants a drink
(spoken: Got to have a drink!)
My doney loves saltwater,
she always wants a drink
(spoken: Boy, if they see you with a bottle, though)
If they see you with a bottle,
they will almost break your neck
Oh, take me home to, Lord, that shiny star
(spoken: Aw sho'!)
I say take me home to that shiny star
(spoken: She don't need no tellin's, daddy, aw sho')
She don't need no tellin',
daddy will take you in his car
Oh, come on, mama, let us,
go to the edge of town
(spoken: Aw sho'!)
Come on, mama, let us, go to the edge of town
(spoken: Baby, I know where there's a bird's nest built at)
I know where there's a bird's nest,
built down on the ground
Oh, I wake up every mornin',
now, with a jinx all around my bed
(spoken: Aw sho!)
I wakes up every mornin',
with a jinx all around my bed
(spoken: You know I'll have them jinx forever)
I have been a good provider,
but I believe I have been misled
boy, you'd better look out
(spoken: High sheriff ain't purrty
Aw, the revenue man is ridin',
boy, you'd better look out
(spoken: Boy, if he hollers you, you don't stop, boy)
If he hollers you, don't stop,
you will likely be knocked out
Oh, a doney loves her saltwater,
well, she always wants a drink
(spoken: Got to have a drink!)
My doney loves saltwater,
she always wants a drink
(spoken: Boy, if they see you with a bottle, though)
If they see you with a bottle,
they will almost break your neck
Oh, take me home to, Lord, that shiny star
(spoken: Aw sho'!)
I say take me home to that shiny star
(spoken: She don't need no tellin's, daddy, aw sho')
She don't need no tellin',
daddy will take you in his car
Oh, come on, mama, let us,
go to the edge of town
(spoken: Aw sho'!)
Come on, mama, let us, go to the edge of town
(spoken: Baby, I know where there's a bird's nest built at)
I know where there's a bird's nest,
built down on the ground
Oh, I wake up every mornin',
now, with a jinx all around my bed
(spoken: Aw sho!)
I wakes up every mornin',
with a jinx all around my bed
(spoken: You know I'll have them jinx forever)
I have been a good provider,
but I believe I have been misled
