by

recording of 1929-1934
from
Charley Patton: Founder Of The Delta Blues (Yazoo L-1020)
When your way gets dark, baby, turn your lights up high
(spoken: What's the matter with 'em?)
Where can I see my man, Lord, if he come easin' by
I take my daily...
(spoken: Daily 'fore day prayer!)
I take my daily...
Trouble at home, baby
(spoken: Tryin' to blow me down!)
It wouldn't hurt so bad but the news all over this...
I love my baby an' I
(spoken: Tell the world I do)
What made me love her, you will come an' love her, too
Hey, someday, baby
(spoken: You know, an' it won't be long)
You'll call at me, baby, an', an' I'll be gone
I'm goin' away, baby
(spoken: Don't you wanna go?)
I'm goin' away, baby, don't you wanna go?

Note: the triple dot parts are not missing lyrics, Patton just left them unspoken
