Mean Black Gobbler (Unissued Version) Lyrics
by Johnny Shines
in E Blues.

Well mean black gobbler fishin' in
in my pond
Catching out my perches, lyin' in
Line up the bones
Well mean black gobbler, boy
been fishin' in my pond
Well catchin' out my perches
barbecuin' the bone

Well brook runs into river, river runs in
into the sea, fellows
Run to my baby somebody gonna have to
Whoa bury me
Well brook run into river, boy
River runs into the sea
If I don't run to my baby
somebody gonna have to bury me

When I die, baby
on some ole highway side
Some ole evil spirit catch that
greyhound bus and ride, whoa
When I die, boy, well
Somewhere down some ole highway side
Some ole old evil spirit catch that
greyhound bus and ride

Well this morning my blues came
fallin' down
Well I out in the country bout a mile and a
half from town
Well early this morning
my blues came fallin' down
Well I out in the country bout a mile and a
half from town

Well some people say the low down
blues ain't bad, but it must of
not have been them low down
ole blues I had
Well some people tell me as though
low down blues ain't bad
Well it must not have been them ole
low down blues I had

Let me have it
Let me tell you somethin'
