Charley Patton - Revenue Man Blues Version 2 Lyrics

Ah, the revenue man is runnin',
boy, you'd better look out
Ah, the revenue man is runnin',
boy, you'd better look out
(spoken: Boy, if he calls you, you don't stop, boy)
If he hollers, you don't stop,
you will likely be knocked out
Oh, my doe loves her water, well,
she always wants a drink
(spoken: Got to have a drink)
My doe loves her water,
she always wants a drink
(spoken: Boy, if they see you with a bottle though)
If they see you with a bottle,
they will almost break the neck
Oh, take me home to, Lord, that shiny star
I said take me home to that shiny star
(spoken: She don't need no tellin', daddy)
She don't need no tellin', dad will take you in his car
Oh, come on mama, let us, go to the edge of town
Come on mama, let us, go to the edge of town
(spoken: Baby, I know where there's a bird's nest built at)
I know where there's a bird's nest,
built out on the ground
Oh, I wake up every mornin',
now, with a jinx all around my bed
I wakes up every mornin', with a jinx all around my bed
(spoken: You know I had a jinx here)
I been a good book abider, but, I believe I've been misled
