by
King Solomom Hill
recording of ca. January 1932, Crafton, Wisconsin
from
Backwoods Blues (Document DOCD 5036)
Ella, Ella, down on my bended knee
Ella, Ella, down on my bended knee
I worry about my baby, bring her back to me
You know I love my baby, that's why we can't get along
You know I love my baby, that's why we can't get along
Look like everything I do, something goin' on wrong
Ohh-Ohh, down on my bended knee
I'm worrying about my baby, bring her back to me
I can see the sun is shining, leaves shaking on the trees
I can see the sun is shining, leaves shaking on the trees
I got a letter from my daddy, I been thank-up drunk to heel
Ooh, baby now, hear my lonesome plea
Ohh-ooh. down on my bended knee
I'm worried about my baby, bring her back to me
Oooh-oooh, hear my lonesome plea
I'm worried about my baby, down on my bended knee
__________
Note: this is King Solomon Hill's most sensitive song, whereas his other songs were mostly about the
hobo
and
rambling
life of a nomadic bluesman;
Note 1: The lyric is very garbled; the lyric "I been thank-up drunk to heel" is a total guess on my (Mark Reljac) part.
