Strange Place Blues Songtext
von Bukka White

I was a stranger at this place
And I′m lookin' for my mother′s grave
I'm in a stranger place
And I'm lookin′ for my mother′s grave
Well, it seems like to me
Hoo-hoo-well, some almost go to wail

I was at mother's grave
When they put my mother ′way
I was at mother's grave
When they put my mother ′way
And I can't find no one
Hoo-hoo-well, to take her place


I thought aft′ my mother was put away
I thought my wife would take her place
After Mama was put away
I thought my wife would take her place
I show you different in mother an wife
Hoo-hoo-well, my wife done throwed me away

I wished I could find someone
To take my mother's place
I wished I could find someone
To take my mother's place
If I can′t find no one
Hoo-hoo, well you will find me at her grave

I′m standin' on my mother′s grave
And I wished I could seen her face
I'm standin′ on my mother's grave
And I wished I could seen her face
I be glad when that day comes
Hoo-hoo, well, when it be due die me away.
