Jim Lee Blues Pt. 1 - Samantha Fish

Went away up the river some forty miles or more

I think I heard that big Jim Lee, he blowed

Oh, she blow, so lonesome, like she wasn’t gonna blow no more

It blowed like my baby was gettin' on board

Well, my Mama -- she’s dead

Oh, and my father -- well he could be

I ain’t got nobody to feel and care for me

And if you don’t want me, well just give me your hand

'Cause you’ll get a woman quick as I, I get a man (alright)

Well, I laid my head in a deceitful man’s arms

And he laid, well, he laid his head back in mine

Oh, it was moonshine, don’t you pay me no mind

'Cause I did not let no other man have mine

Well that big Jim Lee keep on backin' up and down

Man stand by the shore, well, if you’re water bound

Come on, now
