Easy Rider Blues by Blind Lemon Jefferson
Easy Rider Blues lyrics
Aw, tell me where my easy rider's gone.
Tell me where my easy rider's gone.
Well, (anywhere these) women always in the wrong.
Your easy rider died on the road.
Man, the easy rider died on the road.
I'm a poor boy here and ain't got nowhere to go.
There's gonna be the time that a woman don't need no
man.
Well it's gonna be a time (that) a woman don't need no
man.
Say, baby, shut your mouth and don't be raisin' sand.
Train I ride don't bum no coal at all.
Train I ride don't bum no coal at all.
The coal I bum everybody say is the cannonball.
I went to the depot,
I mean I went to the depot, sat my suitcase down.
The blues overtake me and the tears co me rollin' down.
Woman I love, she must be out of town.
Woman I love, man, she's outta town.
She left me this momin' with her face in a terrible
frown.
I got a gal across town, she crochets all the time.
I got a gal across town, crochetin' all the time.
Sugar, you don't quit crochetin' , you're gonna lose
your mind.
Say fair brown, what's the matter now?
Say fair brown, what's the matter now?
You're tryin' your best to quit me, woman, and you
don't know how.
