Testo Levee Camp Moan - Son House
Testo della canzone Levee Camp Moan (Son House), tratta dall'album Forever On My Mind
I had a job on the levee
I say I had a good lookin' woman she lived in here
I say I had a job on the levee
Yes I had a good lookin' woman she lived in here
You know that pretty little old thing
She kept me with the government fleet blue
Oh on every payday
She'd be standin' 'round the landing cryin'
Yes you know on every payday
She'd be standin' 'round the landing cryin'
She'd be sayin', "Why don't that big boat hurry
Yeah and bring home that man of mine?"
You know way down the river
She could hear the big boat when she blowed
I say way down the river
She could hear the big boat when she blowed
You know but when that little girl got that check
She told me she couldn't use me no more
Well I said, "Little girl if you didn't love me
Why didn't you tell poor me so?
Little girl if you didn't love me
I say how come you, you didn't tell me so?
I'd have knowed you loved someone else
Now honey, then you could go"
Well I left the little girl
Sittin' down in the backdoor cryin'
Yeah I left her sittin' in the backdoor cryin'
I said that done run the little thing crazy
I believe she gonna lose her mind
But I say honey when you get lonesome
I want you to sit right down and write to me
Yeah when you get lonesome
Honey sit down and write to me
You know I can read your little writin'
Baby don't care where in this world I be
Oh I went in my room
And I sat down and I cried
I went in my room
I sat down and I cried
You know I didn't have no proof
But I just wasn't satisfied
Oh what a shame
You know it was a lowdown dirty shame
Yeah, what a dirty shame
You know I was so sorry today
That I ever knowed her little old name
Oh it's so hard to love
Someone that don't love you
You know it's so hard
To love someone don't love you
Don't look like it'd be satisfaction
Don't care what in this world you do
