Charley Patton - Elder Greene Blues lyrics

Elder Greene is (take your time), Elder Greene is gone Gone way down the country with his long coat on With his long coat on, with his long coat on Gone way down the country with his long coat on Elder Greene told the deacon, let's go down in prayer It's a big ‘ssociation at New Orleans, come and let's go there And if you got a woman, want raise her to your hand, Keep away from mamma walkin, mamma have been lonesome, mamma Well the creek's all muddy, and the slough's all dry If it wasn't for the sweet mouth county boys all the women would die Don't you leave me here, don't you leave me here Lord I don't care where in world you go, don't you leave me here I like to fuss and fight, I like to fuss and fight Lord and get sloppy drunk offa bottled in bond and walk the streets all night And walk the streets all night, and walk the streets all night Lordy get sloppy drunk offa bottled in bond and walk the streets all night Well the creek's all muddy, and the slough's all dry If it wasn't for the sweet mouth county boys all the browns would die On the road somewhere, on the road somewhere You can find highway robber, on the road somewhere On the road somewhere, on the road somewhere You can find highway robber on the road somewhere Elder Greene told the deacon, let's go down in prayer You can find highway robber on the road somewhere
