Jim Lee Blues, Pt. 1

Went away up the river some forty mile or more
I think I heard that big Jim Lee he blowed

She blow so lonesome, like she wasn't gonna blow no more
It blowed just like my baby gettin' on board

My Mama she is dead' and my father well could be
I ain't got nobody to feel and care for me

And If you don't want me just give me your hand
And I'll get a woman quick as you can a man

I laid my head in a steamer woman's arms
And he laid came when he liad his head back in mine

It was moonshine, don't you pay me no mind
'Cause I did not let no other man have mine

Well the big Jim Lee keep a-backing up and down
Keep standin' by the shore, man, if you're water bound
