Skip James - Little Cow, Little Calf Blues lyrics

Hi-hi Hi-hi-hi-i Hi-hi-hi-i Hi-hi-hi-hi-i Got to lay down and die If you should see my heifer Will you please, please, please, please Drive her home? If you see my heifer Will you please, please, please Drive her home? 'Cause I've had no milk an bu*ter Since my calf been born Lord, I wring me hand An I declare, I just wanted to scream I wring my hand An I 'clare, I wanted to scream But when I woke up I was glad That it was all a dream I am stealin', I am stealin' I'm stealin', please don't you tell on me I am stealin', I am stealin' An please don't you tell on me I'm stealin' from my reg'lar Back to my old used to be Lord, I walked the levee I done walked it from end to end You all, walked the levee And I walked it from end to - An I was just tryin' to find My little cow, again Lord, I hollered, 'Ho-ho-hey' Hi-hi-hi-hi-hi Hollered, hi-hi-hi Hi-hi-hi, hi-hi You know ev'ry little cow and calf They got to lay down an die. (piano to end) ~
