Henry Thomas - Cottonfield Blues текст песни

I’m going to Texas: have to ride the rods
Just show me the train: left out of that Mobile yard
If you see my mama: before I do
Don’t tell her faro: what road I’m on
Now the boat’s up the river: and she won’t come down
I believe to my soul: great God she’s water bound
I look to the east: and I look to the west
If she headed to the south: she’s Alabama bound
Said one of these mornings: it won’t be long
You going to call me: and I’ll be gone
