Blind Willie McTell
recording of October 18. 1927, Atlanta, Georgia
from
Last Session (Yazoo 1005)
Wake up mama don't you sleep so hard
Wake up mama don't you sleep so hard
For its these old blues walkin' all over your yard
I've got those blues, I'm not satisfied
I've got those blues, I'm not satisfied
That's the reason I'm sure long way to cry
Blues arrived at midnight, won't turn me loose 'till day
Blues arrived at midnight, won't turn me loose 'till day
I didn't have no mama to drive these blues away
The big star fallin', mama t'ain't long (be)fo'(re) day
The big star fallin', mama t'ain't long (be)fo'(re) day
Rain or sunshine drive these blues away
Oh come here quick, come on mama, I got you....
Mmm...
