Big Road Blues 
orig. Tommy Johnson, here as sung by Nick Katzman (2009)


Cryin', ain't goin' down this big road by myself
Can't you hear me call, pretty mama?
Now I ain't goin' down this big road by myself
I goin' carry you, mama, I'm goin' carry somebody else

But now, how do you do me, like you do do do?
Can't you hear me call, pretty mama?
Now, what do you do me like you do do do?
Now, how do me like you done poor Cherry Red

You take a poor boy's money, sure, you won't take mine
Can't you hear me call, pretty mama?
Take a poor boy's money, sure you won't take mine
You take a poor boy's money, yeah, sure you won't take mine


(rec. Oct. 2nd, 2009 in Dresden)

You take a poor boy's money, sure, you won't take mine
Can't you hear me call, pretty mama?
Take a poor boy's money, sure you won't take mine
You take a poor boy's money, yeah, sure you won't take mine

Yeah, now you don't love me, why don't you tell me so?
Can't you hear me call, pretty mama?
Now you don't love me, so I can't tell me so
Yeah, now I pack my suitcase, yeah, down the road ...*

Now sun gonna shine in my back door someday
Now, don't you hear me call, pretty mama?
Now sun gon' shine in my back door someday
... *

Cryin', ain't goin' down this big road by myself
Can't you hear me call, pretty mama?
Now I ain't goin' down this big road by myself
I goin' carry you, mama, I'm goin' carry somebody else
