Elder Greene Blues (Take 2) - Charlie Patton

Green is… Elder Green is gone

Gone way down the country with his long coat on

With his long coat on (2)

Gone way down the country with his long coat on

Elder Green told the Deacon, «Let's go down in Prayer

There’s a big ‘sociation in New Orleans, come and let’s go there

Con and let’s go there (2)

There’s a big ‘sociation in New Orleans, come and let’s go there

I love to fuss and fight (2)

Lord and get sloppy drunk off a Bottle an' Bond

And walk the streets all night

And walk the streets all night (2)

Lord and get sloppy drunk off a Bottle an' Bond

And walk the streets all night»

Elder Green told the deacon, «Settle down in prayer

You can tak the thing I got

Almost anywhere, yeah most anywhere

You can take all summer and walk anywhere.»

Elder Green is gone.

Elder Green is gone

Gone way down the country with his long coat on

If you’ve got a woman, or raise her to your hand

Keep away from my woman, Molly ‘ham is lonesome

Molly Cunningham

Molly Cunningham (2)

Keep away from my woman, Molly ‘ham is lonesome, Molly…

I love to fuss and fight (2)

Lord and get sloppy drunk off a Bottle an' Bond

And walk the streets at night
