Down The Dirt Road Blues Lyrics - The Complete Recordings: 1929-34 - Charley Patton

I'm goin' away, to a world unknown 

I'm goin' away, to a world unknown 

I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long 

My rider got somethin', she's tryin'a keep it hid 

My rider got somethin', she's tryin'a keep it hid 

Lord, I got somethin' to find that somethin' with 

I feel like choppin', chips flyin' everywhere 

I feel like choppin', chips flyin' everywhere 

I been to the Nation, oh Lord, but I couldn't stay there 

Some people say them oversea blues ain't bad 

[Spoken: Why, of course they are] 

Some people say them oversea blues ain't bad 

[Spoken: What was a-matter with 'em?!] 

It must not a-been them oversea blues I had 

Every day seem like murder here 

[Spoken: My God, I'm no sheriff] 

Every day seem like murder here 

I'm gonna leave tomorrow, I know you don't bid my care 

Can't go down any dirt road by myself 

Can't go down any dirt road by myself 

[Spoken: My Lord, who ya gonna carry?] 

I don't carry my, gonna carry me someone else
