If I had possession, over judgment day

If I had possession, over judgment day

Lord, the little woman I'm lovin' wouldn't, have no right to pray



And I went to the mountain, lookin' as far as my eyes could see

And I went to the mountain, lookin' as far as my eyes would see

Some other man got my woman, and these lonesome blues got me



And I rolled and I tumbled and I, cried the whole night long

And I rolled and I tumbled and I, cried the whole night long

Boy, I woke up this mornin', my biscuit roller gone



Had to fold my arms and I, slowly walked away

(spoken: I didn't like the way she done)

Had to fold my arms and I, slowly walked away

I said in my mind, "Yo' trouble gon' come some day1"



Now run here, baby, set down on my knee

Now run here, baby, set down on my knee

I wanna tell you all about the way they treated me
