Now, you've left you a calf
And your milk is turning blue.

And I believe he needs a suck.

you since I been gone

If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day
If I had possession over judgement day,
If I had possession over judgement day,
Lord, the little woman I'm lovin' wouldn't have no right to pray.

And I went to the mountain, lookin' far as my eyes could see.

Just come on back to Friar's Point, mama, and barrelhouse all night long

But my Friar's Point rider, now, hops all over me

I ain't gon' to state no color, but her front teeth is crowned with gold

Me And The Devil Blues
Early this morning,
You knocked upon my door,

And I said, \"Hello, Satan,
I believe it's time to go.\"

Me and the devil
Were walking side by side.

I'm gonna beat my woman
Until I get satisfied.

She said she don't see why,
That I will dog her 'round.
(Now baby, you know you ain't doing me right.)
She said she don't see why, That I will dog her 'round.
Well, it must be that old evil spirit
So deep down in the ground.

You may bury my body
Down by the highway side.
(I don't care where you bury my body when I'm dead and gone.)
You may bury my body
Down by the highway side.
Oh, my old evil spirit
Can take a Greyhound bus and ride.
