Delta Pine Blues

Delta Pine Blues Lyrics
in D Blues
by Johnny Shines.

Boys I ain't doin' no good
I ain't even got a lousy dime
Boys I ain't doin' no good
I ain't even got a lousy dime
And woman I love is way down south
She's way down in the delta pine

Though she stayed out from me
From sundown until daybreak
Well she stayed out from me
From sundown until daybreak
Well she had did me wrong
Yes, wrong for goodness sake

Well I ain't gonna quit her
Oh boy what a wonderful break
Well I ain't going to quit her
Oh boy what a wonderful break
I'm gonna give her a chance
for to mend her mistake

Baby did you get that letter
That I throwed in your back yard
Baby did you get that letter
That I throwed in your back yard
Well I would come to see you
But those hill captains got me barred
