Today I'm posting the lyrics of blind Lemon Jefferson's "Corrina Blues". It's more of a medley with the first part being mostly "See, See Rider", but never mind. This song has been haunting me over the last couple of days, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head. Jefferson had a terrific voice,and marvellous execution. If you get a chance you should listen to this one.
See see rider you see what you done done
Made me love you now your friend has gone
Made me love you now your friend has gone
Well you made me love you now your friend has gone
A great tall engine and a little small engineer
Got the woman away lord and left me standing here
Got the woman away lord and left me standing here
Got the woman away lord and left me standing here
If I had of listened to my second mind
I don't believe I'd have bin here, wringing my hand and cryin'
I don't believe I'd have bin here, wringing my hand and cryin'
I don't believe I'd have bin here, wringing my hand and cryin'
Ain't no more potatoes, the frost have killed the vine
The blues ain't nothing but a good woman on your mind
Well the blues ain't nothing but a good woman on your mind
Well the blues ain't nothing but a good woman on your mind
I done told you woman, I been telling your partner too
You're three times seven and you know what you wanna do
You're three times seven you know what you wanna do
Well you're three times seven you know what you wanna do
Have you seen Corrina, tell her to hurry home
I ain't had no true love since Corrine bin gone
I ain't had no true love since Corrine bin gone
I ain't had no true love since Corrine bin gone
