Elder Greene Blues - Charley Patton

Elder greene is take your time elder greene is gone

Gone way down the country with his long coat on

With his long coat on with his long coat on

Gone way down the country with his long coat on

Elder greene told the deacon let's go down in prayer

It's a big ssociation at new orleans come and let's go there

And if you got a woman want raise her to your hand

Keep away from mamma waling mamma have been lonesome mamma

Well the creek's all muddy and the slough's all dry

If it wasn't for the sweet mouth county boys all the women would die

Don't you leave me here don't you leave me here

Lord I don't care where in world you go don't you leave me here

I like to fuss and fight I like to fuss and fight

Lord and get sloppy drunk offa bottled in bond and walk the streets all night

And walk the streets all night and walk the streets all night

Lordy get sloppy drunk offa bottled in bond and walk the streets all night

Well the creek's all muddy and the slough's all dry

If it wasn't for the sweet mouth county boys all the browns would die

On the road somewhere on the road somewhere

You can find highway robber on the road

On the road somewhere on the road somewhere

You can find highway robber on the road

Elder greene told the deacon let's go down in prayer

You can find highway robber on the road somewhere
