Charley Patton - Tom Rushen Blues
------------------------------------------

Laid down last night, hopin I would have my peace, eee 
I laid down last night, hopin I would have my peace, eee 
But when I woke up, Tom Rushen was shakin' me 

When you get in trouble, 
it's no use to screamin and cryin', hmm 
When you get in trouble, 
it's no use to screamin and cryin', hmm 
Tom Rushen will take you, back to the prison house flyin' 

It were late one night, Halloway was gone to bed, hmm 
It were late one night, Halloway was gone to bed, hmm 
Mister Day brought whiskey taken from under Halloway's head 

An' it's boozy booze, now, Lord, to cure these blues 
It takes boozy boo, Lord, to cure these blues 
But each day seems like years in the jailhouse 
where there is no boo' 

I got up this mornin, Tom Day was standin' around 
I got up this mornin, Tom Day was standin' around 
If he lose his office now, he's runnin' from town to town 

Let me tell you folksies just how he treated me 
Let me tell you folksies just how he treated me 
Aw, he caught me yellin, I was drunk as I could be
