《Illinois Blues》歌词

[00:00:01] Illinois Blues - Skip James

[00:00:07] Hey hey-hey-hey-hey, hey hey hey hey hey

[00:00:14] Hey hey-hey-hey-hey, hey hey hey hey...

[00:00:21] And every cow and calf, I believe was born to die

[00:00:29] I'm a-milk my heifer2, milk her in a churn

[00:00:35] I'll milk my heifer, I'll milk her in a churn

[00:00:41] If you see my rider, tell her it ain't a darn thing doin'3

[00:00:49] I wringed my hands, baby, and I wanted to scream

[00:00:56] I wringed my hands, honey, and I wanted to scream

[00:01:03] And when I woke up I thought it was all a dream

[00:01:09] Hey hey-hey-hey-hey, hey hey hey hey

[00:01:12] Hey hey-hey-hey-hey, hey hey hey hey...

[00:01:21] And every cow and calf, I believe was born to die

[00:01:25] Hey hey-hey, I ain't gonna be here long

[00:01:33] Hey hey-hey, pretty mama, I ain't gonna be here long

[00:01:40] That's the reason why you hear me singin' my old lonesome song

[00:01:47] Hey, hey-hey-hey-hey-hey, hey hey hey hey

[00:01:53] Hey hey-hey-hey-hey, hey hey hey hey hey

[00:01:58] And every cow's calf, honey, got to be dyin'

[00:02:05] I walked the levee from end to end

[00:02:12] I walked the levee, honey, from end to end

[00:02:19] I was just tryin' to find, my calf, again

[00:02:27] I'm feelin' back to my used-to...

[00:02:29] I feel a notion, back to my used-to-be

[00:02:38] I have a pretty mama, she don't care for me
