[Lyric] Wartime Blues (Blind Lemon Jefferson)

What you gonna do when they send your man to war?
What you gonna do, send your man to war?
What you gonna do when they send your man to war?
I'm gonna drink muddy water, gonna sleep in a hollow log

I ain't got nobody, I'm all here by myself
Got nobody, all here by myself
Got nobody, all here by myself
Oh these women don't care, but the men don't need me here

Well, I'm going to the river, gonna walk it up and down
Going to the river, walk it up and down
Going to the river, walk it up and down
If I don't find Corinna, I'm gonna jump overboard and drown

If I could shine my light like a headlight on some train
If I could shine my light like a headlight on some train
If I could shinе my light like a headlight on some train
I would shinе my light and call a real train

Well, they tell me that southbound train had a wreck last night
Lord, that southbound train had a wreck last night
Lord, that southbound train had a wreck last night
Listen here, section foreman, they ain't treating your railroad right
Well the gal I love and the one I crave to see
Woman I love, one I crave to see
Woman I love, and the one I crave to see
Well, she's living in Memphis and the fool won't write to me

I said, little woman, what have I said and done?
Hey mama, what have I said and done?
Hey mama, what have I said and done?
You treat me like my trouble has just begun
