Lonnie Johnson — Low Land Moan lyrics

Lyrics

I went down to the levee: and to the freight
house yard
They paid a dollar an hour: but the work was too long
and hard
Have pigtails in my pantry: neckbones on my shelf
I ain’t got none to give you: I got just enough for
myself
I’m going to buy me a shotgun: long as I am tall
I’m going to shoot my woman: just to see her fall
Over yonder’s the river: yonder is your big lake
At your house rent party: you made your last mistake
I chew my bacca: and I spit my juice
I tried to love you so hard: but I found out there’s no use
