Classic Poem

Coal black woman
fry no meat for me
No coal black woman can
fry no meat for me
You know black is evil
that gal may poison me

I got a new way of spelling
sweet old Tennessee
New way of spelling
sweet old Tennessee
New way of spelling
sweet old Tennessee
Double T, double N,
double T, double S, U, Z

My girl rolled and tumbled
cried the whole night long
Rolled and tumbled
cried the whole night long
Rolled and tumbled
cried the whole night long
She received that message
that the man she loved was gone
(how'd she cry?)

Said my love's like water
it turns off and on
Love like water
turns off and on
Love like water
turns off and on
When you think I'm loving
I done took off and gone

When the death wagon rolled up
with the rumbling sound
Death wagon rolled up
with the rumbling sound
Death wagon rolled up
with the rumbling sound
Says I knowed by that
my gal was graveyard bound
