"34" Blues Songtext
von Charley Patton

I ain′t gonna tell nobody, '34 have done for me
I ain′t gonna tell nobody what, '34 have done for me
Took my roller, I was broke as I could be

They run me from Will Dockery's, Willie Brown, I want your job
They run me from Will Dockery′s, Willie Brown, I want your job
(Buddy, what′s the matter?)
I went out and told Papa Charley,
"I don't want you hangin′ round on my job no more"


Fella, down in the country, it almost make you cry
Fella, down in the country, it almost make you cry
(My God, children!)
Women and children flaggin' freight trains for rides

Herman got a little six Buick, big six Chevrolet car
Herman got a little six Buick, little six Chevrolet car
(My God, what solid power!)
And it don′t do nothin' but, follow behind Harvey Parker′s plow

And it may bring sorrow, Lord, it may bring cheer
It may bring sorrow, Lord, and it may bring cheer
Oh Lord, oh Lord, let me see your brand new year
