Mississippi Blues by Willie Brown lyrics arranged by Thomasina Winslow

I'm going back to the Delta Where I can have myself some fun

I'm going back to the Delta Where I can have myself some fun

Lord! You talking 'bout a good time I am going to have me one

Don't that Delta look lonesome When that evening sun goes down

Don't that Delta look lonesome When that evening sun goes down

And you'll be just looking for your baby Wondering where he can be found

I'm going back to my used-to-be Although he has done me wrong

I'm going back to my used-to-be Although he has done me wrong

I guess I'll just have to forgive him 'Cause I'm tired of living in this old world alone

Oh He treats me dirty but I love him just the same

Oh He treats me dirty but I love him just the same

You know it just breaks my heart to hear Another woman calling his name

Goodbye I'm gonna leave you and I won't be back no more

Goodbye I'm gonna leave you and I won't be back no more

Said now my mind gets to ramblin' See you in two thousand twenty four

I had to make some corrections so here is the best version as far as accuracy:

Ah well moon goin down babe Sun's about to shine

Well now Moon going down babe sun's about to shine

Well Johny Henry told me this mornin' I don't want you a hangin round.

Well now where were you now baby Clarksdale Mill burned down

Tell me where were you now baby Clarksdale Mill burned down

I was way down Sunflower and my face all full of frown

There's a house over yonder Painted all over green

There's a house over yonder Some of the finest young men lord that You have ever seen

Oh the smokestack is black and the billage shines like gold

Smokestack is black and the billage shines like gold

Well I ain't gonna stop walkin' till I'm in my riders door.

Lord I think I heard that helano whistle helano whistle helano whistle blow

Think I heard that a helano whistle blow I ain't gonna work here nor tarry round no more

I'm Going Away by Nick Katzman as sung by Thomasina Winslow

I'm going away won't be long

I know you miss me singing a lonesome song

I'm going away and it won't be long

And then you'll know you must have done me wrong

My daddy got ways like a baby child his doggone ways are driving me wild

His doggone ways are driving me wild

and that is why you never see me smile

I got Cadillac ways and some super ideas

I can't see what brought me here just can't see what brought me here

must have been the new Kansas City Beer

I'm lame and blind can't hardly see

my doggone daddy turned his back on me

I'm lame I can't hardly see

Got nobody here to comfort me

My heart aches so I can't be satisfied

believe I'll take a train and ride

I believe I'll take a train and ride

I miss my daddy lying by my side

Ain't gonna marry, neither settle down

I'm gonna stay right here till they tear this barrelhouse down

Oh I love you baby tell the world I do

Oh I love you baby tell the world I do

I don't love nobody in this whole round world but you

Ain't no use to weepin' ain't no need to cryin'

aint no use to weepin' ain't no need to cryin'

Cause you got a home jus' as long as I got mine

Well have you ever dreamed lucky now woke up cold in hand

ever dreamed lucky now woke up cold in hand

I would call that yonder nothin' but a monkey man

Well did you get that letter I mailed in your back yard

did you get that letter I mailed in your back yard

it's a sad to say but the best of friends have to part
