Easy Rider Blues - Blind 'Lemon' Jefferson

Aw, tell me where my easy rider’s gone

Tell me where my easy rider’s gone

Well, (anywhere these) women always in the wrong

Your easy rider died on the road

Man, the easy rider died on the road

I’m a poor boy here and ain’t got nowhere to go

There’s gonna be the time that a woman don’t need no man

Well it’s gonna be a time (that) a woman don’t need no man

Say, baby, shut your mouth and don’t be raisin' sand

Train I ride don’t bum no coal at all

Train I ride don’t bum no coal at all

The coal I bum everybody say is the cannonball

I went to the depot

I mean I went to the depot, sat my suitcase down

The blues overtake me and the tears co me rollin' down

Woman I love, she must be out of town

Woman I love, man, she’s outta town

She left me this momin' with her face in a terrible frown

I got a gal across town, she crochets all the time

I got a gal across town, crochetin' all the time

Sugar, you don’t quit crochetin', you’re gonna lose your mind

Say fair brown, what’s the matter now?

Say fair brown, what’s the matter now?

You’re tryin' your best to quit me, woman, and you

Don’t know how
