This is 1 of 2 recordings that Willie Brown recorded in August 1930 for Paramount records, released as Paramount 13090. Brown uses the descending bass run, similar to Son House on Jinx Blues or Charley Patton on Revenue Man Blues.
Can't tell my future
And I can't tell my past
Can't tell my future
And I can't tell my past
Lord, it seems like every minute
Sure gonna be my last
The minutes seems like hours
And hours seems like days
The minutes seems like hours
And hours seems like days
And it seems like my woman
Outta stop her low down ways
The woman I love now
She's five feet from the ground
I said, the woman I love now
Lordy, five feet from the ground
And she's tailor made
And ain't no hand me down
Lord, and I got a woman now
Lordy, she's lightnin when she
Lightnin' when she, lightnin' smile
I say, I got a woman
Lord, and she's lightnin when she smiles
Five feet and four inches
And she's damn good lookin' size
And I can't tell my past
Can't tell my future
And I can't tell my past
Lord, it seems like every minute
Sure gonna be my last
The minutes seems like hours
And hours seems like days
The minutes seems like hours
And hours seems like days
And it seems like my woman
Outta stop her low down ways
The woman I love now
She's five feet from the ground
I said, the woman I love now
Lordy, five feet from the ground
And she's tailor made
And ain't no hand me down
Lord, and I got a woman now
Lordy, she's lightnin when she
Lightnin' when she, lightnin' smile
I say, I got a woman
Lord, and she's lightnin when she smiles
Five feet and four inches
And she's damn good lookin' size
