Big Road Blues - Original - Tommy Johnson

Cryin', ain’t goin' down this

Big road by myself

A-don't ya hear me talkin', pretty mama?

Lord, ain’t goin' down this

Big road by myself

If I don’t carry you

Gon car' somebody else

Cryin, sun gon' shine in My backdoor, someday

A-don't ya hear me talkin', pretty mama?

Lord, sun gon' shine in My backdoor, someday

A wind gon' change all

Blow my blues away

Baby, what made you do Things you do-do-do

Like you do-do-do?

Don’t you hear me, now?

What made you do me Like you do-do-do?

Now, you think 'gon do me like you

Done to po' old Cherry Red

Take the poor boy’s money, now

Sho' nuff, you won’t take mine

A-don't ya hear me talkin', pretty mama?

Taken this poor boy’s money

Sho' nuff, won’t take mine

Taken the po' boy’s money, now

Sure t' God, you won’t take mine

Cryin', ain’t goin' down this

Big road by myself

A-don't you hear me talkin', pretty mama?

Lord, ain’t goin' down this

Big road by myself

If I don’t car' you

Gon' carry somebody else

Cryin', sun gon' shine on My back door someday

A-don't you hear me talkin', pretty mama?

Know sun gon' shine in My back door someday

And a wind gon' change and

Blow my blues away.
