Lyrics – Mississippi John Hurt – Got The Blues Can t Be Satisfied (Version 2)
byMississippi John Hurt
recording of December 28 1928, New York City
from Okeh 8724,
Got the blues, can’t be satisfied
Got the blues, can’t be satisfied
Keep the blues, I’ll catch that train and ride
Whiskey straight will drive the blues away
Whiskey straight will drive the blues away
That be the case, I wants a quart today
Bought my gal a great big diamond ring
Bought my gal a great big diamond ring
Come right back home and caught her
shakin’ that thing
I said, "Babe what makes you act this-a-way?"
I said, "Baby why did you act this-a-way?"
Says I won’t miss a thing she gives away
Took my gun and I broke the barrel down
Took my gun and broke the barrel down
Put my baby six feet under the ground
I cut that joker so long deep and wide
Cut that joker so long deep and wide
Yet got the blues and I still ain’t satisfied
