(Sleepy John Estes)

Well I never will forget that floating bridge.
|
Lord I never will forget that floating bridge.
|
Lord I never will forget that floating bridge.
|
They tell me five minutes time underwater I was hid.
|
|
I was going down and I throwed up my hands.
|
As I was going down I throwed up my hands.
|
As I was going down I throwed up my hands,
|
Saying, "Please Lord, take me on dry land."
|
|
Well they carried me in the house and they laid me 'cross the bed.
|
Well they carried me in the house, they laid me 'cross the bed.
|
Well they carried me in the house, they laid me 'cross the bed.
|
I couldn't hear nothing but muddy water running 'round my head.
|
|
Oh my mother often told me, "Quit playing a bum."
|
My mother always told me, "Quit playing a bum."
|
Lord, my mother always told me, "Son, quit playing a bum.
|
Go out somewhere and make a crumb."
|
|
All the people on the bridge was screaming and crying.
|
Well all the people on the bridge was screaming and crying.
|
All the people on the bridge stood screaming and crying,
|
Saying, "Lord have mercy, wher's we g'wine?"
