Minglewood Blues - Cannon Jug Stompers:
Don't you never let one woman rule your mind.
Don't you never let one woman rule your mind.
Said she keep you worried, troubled all the time.
Don't you think your fairer was li'l and cute like mine.
Don't you wish your fairer was li'l and cute like mine.

Version Hambone Willie Newbern:
And I rolled and I tumbled and I cried the whole night long.
And I rolled and I tumbled and I cried the whole night long.
And I rose this mornin' mama and I didn't know right from wrong.
Did you ever wake up and find your dough roller gone?

And you wring your hands, you cry the whole day long.
And I told my woman lord, before I left the town,
And I told my woman lord, before I left the town,
Don't she let nobody tear her barrelhouse down.
And I fold my arms lord, and I walked away,
And I fold my arms and I slowly walked away,
Says that's all right sweet mama your trouble gonna come some day.

Well, if the river was whiskey, and I was a divin' duck,
Well, if the river was whiskey, and I was a divin' duck,
Well, I would dive to the bottom, never would I come up.
Well, I could a had a religion, this bad old thing instead,

Some young lazy slut has charmed away my brains.
The landscape is glowin', gleamin' in the golden light of day.

I ain't holding nothin' back now, I ain't standin' in anybody's way.
Well, I did all I know just to keep you off my mind.

I've been conjuring up all these long dead souls from their crumblin' tombs.
Let's forgive each other darlin', let's go down to the greenwood glen.
Let's forgive each other darlin', let's go down to the greenwood glen.
Let's put our heads together now, let's put old matters to an end.

I woke up this morning, I think I must be travelin' wrong.
