Blind Lemon Jefferson - Long Lonesome Blues: Lemon's Texts Revealed

Lemon's Cannon Ball Blues

It was late last night, light's burnin' by my bed
It was late last night, and light's burnin' by my bed
Eased my head to the window, this is what my baby said

"Let's just lay here easy till the cock go to crowin' 'fore day"
Says, "Just lay here easy till that cock go to crowin' 'fore day"
Eased my clothes out the window gonna make my getaway

I got a dirty mistreater, she's mean as she can be
Got a dirty mistreater, mean as she can be
I didn't figure she was so mean till she dropped that cannon on me

When my rider drawed the cannon, ooh, my flesh begin to crawl
When my rider drawed the cannon my flesh begin to crawl
Any man feel kind o' different when he's faced with a cannonball

I stepped two feet forward, started to break and run
I stepped two feet forward, tryin' to break and run
Ah, but a man don't outrun a cannon, it's same as a Gatlin' gun
