Carolina Blues (1937-1947)
Say, I was layin' upstairs, layin' on my cold iron bed
Say, I was layin' upstairs, layin' on my cold iron bed
When I received the news, the woman I love was dead

I didn't have no money, then I could not go home
I didn't have no money, then I could not go home
Then I walked to my window, and I dropped my head to moan

Lord, Lord, woman I love is dead and gone
Lord, Lord, woman I love is dead and gone
Yeah, I am broke and hungry, five hundred miles from home

Yeah, hoo-yeah, uh-huh
Yeah, hee-yeah-ah
Yeah, hee-yeah, uh-huh

I'm going down to the river, fall on my bended knee
I'm going down to the river, fall on my bended knee
I'm going to ask the Good Lord to help me if he please
