Charley Patton - Presenting Charley Patton

Dry Well Blues

When I livin' in Lula, I was livin' at ease
When I livin' in Lula, I was livin' at ease
Lord, your drought come an' caught us, an' parched up all the trees

Aw, she stays over in Lula, bid that ol' town goodbye
Stays in Lula, bidding you the town goodbye
'Fore I would come to know the day,
Oh, the Lula well was gone dry

Lord, there're citizens around Lula, aw, was doin' very well
Ctizens around Lula, aw, was doin' very well
Now they're all in hard luck together, 'cause rain don't pour nowhere

I ain't got no money and I sure ain't got no hope
Lord I ain't got no money and I sure ain't got no hope
The old weather done come in, parched all the cotton and corn

Boy, they tell me the country, Lord, it'll make you cry
Lord, country, Lord, it'll make you cry
Most anybody, Lord, hasn't any water in the bayou

Lord, the Lula womens, Lord, puttin' Lula young mens down
Lula men, oh, puttin' Lula men down
Lord, you outta been there, Lord, the womens all leavin' town
