Hammer Blues

Lyrics

Gonna buy me a hammock
 Carry it underneath through the tree
 Gonna buy myself a hammock
 Carry it underneath through the tree
 So when the wind blow, the leaves may fall on me
 Go on, baby, you can have your way
 Ball on, baby, you can have your way
 Sister, every dog sure must have his day
 Got me shackled, I'm wearin' a ball and
 They've got me shackled, I'm wearin' my ball and chain
 An' they got me ready for that Parchman train
 I went to the depot, I looked up at the board
 I went to the depot, I looked up at the board
 If this train has left, well, it's tearin' off up the road
 Clothes I buy, baby, honey you gonna 'pre
 You're gonna appreciate, honey, all clothes I'll buy
 I will give you all my lovin', baby, 'til the day I die
 I went way up Red River, crawlin' on the
 I went up Red River, crawlin', on a log
 I think I heard the Bob Lee boat when she moaned
