I Will Turn Your Money Green (Take 1) - Furry Lewis

When I was in Missouri would not let me be

When I was in Missouri would not let me be

Wouldn’t rest content till I came to Tennessee

If you follow me baby, I’ll turn your money green

If you follow me baby, I’ll turn your money green

I show you more money Rockefeller ever seen

If the river was whiskey baby and I was a duck

River was whiskey baby and I was a duck

I’d dive to the bottom, Lord, and I’d never come up

Lord, woman I hate, I see her every day

Woman I hate, I see her every day

But the woman I love she’s so far 'way

Talk about sweetheart, I declare I’m a honest man

Talk about sweetheart, I declare I’m a honest man

Give my woman so many dollars it broke her apron string

All she give me was trouble, I’m troubled all the time

All she give me was trouble, I’m troubled all the time

I been troubled so long trouble don’t worry my mind

I been down so long, it seem like up to me

I been down so long, it seem like up to me

Woman I love, she done quit, poor me

What’s the need of me hollering

What’s the need of me crying

Woman I love, she don’t pay me no mind
