Charlie Patton - King of the Delta Blues

Troubled 'Bout My Mother

I wonder where my mother - Lordie
I wonder where she's gone
Now she's up in the Kingdom - Lordie
Shining round the throne

Lord I'm troubled Lord I'm troubled
Trouble on a heavy load
When I gets up in the Kingdom - Lordie
I won't be troubled any more

I wonder where my father - Lordie
I wonder where he's gone
Now he's up in the Kingdom - Lordie
Shining round the throne

Oh Daniel he was troubled - Lordie
He prayed three times a day
The lions hushed in wonder - Lordie
To hear what Daniel had to say

Lord I'm troubled Lord I'm troubled
Trouble on a heavy load
When I gets up in the Kingdom - Lordie
I won't be troubled any more

Oh Jesus (?) he was troubled - Lordie
Out on the desert (?) sea
Then the boat was lying - Lordie (?)
The wind had slowed and ceased (?)

Lord I'm troubled Lord I'm troubled
Trouble on a heavy load
When I gets up in the Kingdom - Lordie
I won't be troubled any more

I wonder where my mother - Lordie
I wonder where she's gone
Now she's up in the Kingdom - Lordie
Shining round the throne

Lord I'm troubled Lord I'm troubled
Trouble on a heavy load
When I gets up in the Kingdom - Lordie
I won't be troubled any more

I wonder where my sister - Lordie
I wonder where she's gone
Now she's up in the Kingdom - Lordie
Shining round the throne

I wonder where my mother - Lordie
I wonder where she's gone
Now she's up in the Kingdom - Lordie
She won't be troubled any more
