Poole County Blues

by Eddie Kelly's Washboard Band

on Carolina Blues (1937-1947) (2005)

There's nobody know, Poole County like I do
There's nobody know, Poole County like I do
Because I traveled Poole County, mama through and through

Well woke up this morning, and I feeling bad
Well woke up this morning, and I feeling bad
I thinking about good times, that I used to have

There's nobody know, honey like I do
There's nobody know, honey like I do
Because I traveled this old place, mama through and through

Say if I'd listened, what my mama said
Say if I'd listened, what my mama said
I'd be at home, in my folding bed

Don't your house look lonesome, when your best buddy's gone
Don't your house look lonesome, when your best buddy's gone
You turn over on your pillow, then you cry right on

Ooh, mama what's the matter now
Ooh, mama what's the matter now
You make me think, I'll break my heart in that house

Play it

Say look a-here baby, I'm going to tell the truth
Say look a-here baby, I'm going to tell the truth
I don't love nobody, honey else but you

I'm going away mama, and it won't be long
I'm going away mama, and it won't be long
You sure going to miss me, just as sure as you born

I'm going to sing this old song, ain't going to sing no more
I'm going to sing this old song, ain't going to sing no more
I'm going to sing this old song, everywhere I go

Play it now
