Current song lyrics
I ain't gonna tell nobody, '34 have done for me<br />I ain't gonna tell nobody what, '34 have done for me<br />Took my roller(1), I was broke as I could be<br /><br />They run me from Will Dockery's(2), Willie Brown, I want your job<br />They run me from Will Dockery's, Willie Brown, I want your job<br />(spoken: Buddy, what's the matter?)<br />I went out and told papa Charley,<br />&quot;I don't want you hangin' round on my job no more&quot;<br /><br />Fella, down in the country, it almost make you cry<br />Fella, down in the country, it almost make you cry<br />(spoken: My God, children!)<br />Women and children flaggin' freight trains for rides<br /><br />Carmen got a little six Buick, big six Chevrolet car<br />Carmen got a little six Buick, little six Chevrolet car<br />(spoken: My God, what solid power!)<br />And it don't do nothin' but, follow behind Holloway's farmer's plow<br /><br />And it may bring sorrow, Lord, it may bring tears<br />It may bring sorrow, Lord, and it may bring tears<br />Oh, Lord, oh, Lord, let me see your brand new year<br /><br />__________<br />Note 1: roller, according to Chris Schell &quot;I believe Mississippi slang for a car being used to transport a woman is &quot;do&lt;ney&gt;roller or biscuit roller. Roller meaning car would seem to me to make more sense in terms of this song which involves a woman leaving and in terms of the title which may refer to the year of the car.&quot; Thanks To Chris Schell;<br />Note 2: the farm of Will Dockery, in Patton's native town Dockery, a Delta plantation town;<br />This is another familiar Delta piece. Robert Johnson used the same melody in &quot;If I had Possession Over Judgment Day&quot; and &quot;Traveling Riverside Blues&quot;. It has also been recorded under the title &quot;Roll And Tumble Blues&quot;. Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf have issued versions of this as well.
