Brooks Run into the Ocean - Eli Green, Mississippi Fred McDowell

Well, now

Brooks run into the ocean, you know

Ocean run into the sea

If I don’t run into my baby, you know

Somebody got to run into me

But I say, well that’s alright

(guitar)

Lord, I thought I’ll run into my baby ch-i-i-ild

Somebody sho' nuff

Got to run into me, yeah

Yeah, now!

Well, now!

Gonna buy me a bull dog

Tie him in my backyard

That gon' keep my woman

You know from slippin' in the dark

I said, well

(guitar)

What?

Let her go awhile

(guitar)

Well, now

Brook run into the ocean

Ocean run into the sea

I don’t run into my baby

You know my

Somebody got to bury me

But I said, that’s alright

(guitar)

You know that I’ll run to my baby ch-i-i-i-iild

Somebody got to bury me

(guitar)

Yeah!

Yeah!

Well, now

Woked up this mo’nin'

Feelin' bad

Thought about that good lookin' woman

You know, once I’ve had

But I said, that’s alright

(guitar)

Lord, now!

Thought about that woman, man!

Woo, Lord, I once have had, you know

(guitar)

What now!

(guitar to end)
