Mississippi Fred McDowell - Good Morning Little School Girl

Gravel Road Blues

"'Version 1"'
I'm goin' down that gravel road, take that right hand road
I'm goin' down that gravel road, take that right hand road
Lord, I ain't gonna stop walkin' till I get in sweet mama's door

Well, that girl I'm lovin' got that great long, curly hair
Well, that girl I'm lovin' got that great long, curly hair
Lord, her mama and her papa sure don't 'low1 me there

I got to study some scheme to get my baby to herself
I got to study some scheme, Lord, to get my baby to herself
Lord, I love that woman, I don't want nobody else

I looked down that road, baby, just as far as I could see
I looked down that road just as far as I could see
There was a bunch of women, Lord, they be followin' me

Well, the brook run into the ocean,
the ocean run into that deep, blue sea
Lord, the brook run into the ocean,
the river run into that deep, blue sea
You ought to seen the women, Lord, they be fishin' after me

"'Version 2"'
I'm goin' down that gravel road, take that right hand road
I'm goin' down that gravel road, take that right hand road
Lord, I ain't gonna stop walkin' till I get in sweet mama's door

Well, the girl I'm lovin' she got great long, curly hair
Well, the girl I'm lovin' she got great long, curly hair
Lord, her mama and her papa sure don't 'low me there

Lord, I'm going away, baby, don't you want to go
Lord, I'm going away, baby, don't you want to go
Lord, I'm going somewhere, where I ain't never been before

Don't look your house lonesome when your dough roller gone
Don't look your house lonesome when your dough roller gone
'Cause it gonna kill you, cooking till she comes home

Now run here, baby, set down on my knee
Now run here, baby, set down on my knee
I want'a tell you all about the way they treated me
