Always to be like old Charlie Patton.
ago when I was a kid, I hear him an
play numbers about:
'I'll hitch up my buggy and my black mare'

An I used to pick cotton an around
in Clarksdale them cafes, eatin' cheese
an cracker.
None of the other they didn't have an idea
I was thinkin'.
I say, I wants to come to be a man like
Patton, but I didn't want to get killed
he did, the way he got killed, the way he had to go.
I've realized I knew I had to die but I didn't
want one of those ol' sand-foot woman, to
up and cut my throat or do somethin' to me
was unnecessary.

And so goes on down and got me old a-guitar.
And I always wanted to play
up my buggy, saddle up my black mare'
'I wanna find my in this great big world, somewhere.'

And I got chance he was passed.
So, he even thinkin' about passing.
And I shaked his hand once, his in Clarksdale
have a that work at The Compress.
And I said, if I ever lived to get half way
or grown, I wanna be just like Charlie Patton was.

An after I about his death
After I got might grown
I would have at that time
To met the one caused
him to have that dead. 'Cause he was a boy.
And ah, he used to play-a, a by
'Old blue the rabbit and they runnin' one sold mile'
'When the rabbit fell dead, he cried just a child'.
And you know I felt so good that I quit eatin' rabbit.
'Cause them rabbit you know do when the dog
up to 'em. He could bit in a newborn baby
And they was and cry'nin'.
And ah, after I hear, Charlie Patton on
an play that number, I I just stop eat rabbit
If had my dog catch 'em and I take away 'em.

And so as I went on to say, you Clarksdale
is a little old town that-a-way.
A lot of good been in there.
But in traveling them little small town
like that, a thing I found a good man can do
is take it easy and take his time and don't fool
that you don't have. Ah, that's not worthwhile.
You don't have time even, to fool with.
Just life easy.
ev'rything shine like gold
And gold you know, a lot of brass
You know, shine gold.

And so Charlie Patton used to sing song about
'Hitch up my buggy and saddle up my mare'
And I hear, would just me off my feet.
I was bare-feeted, little boy, too.
And I it so well after I growed up, the first
I put out when I was comin' up about
'Downtown sickin' them dogs on me'.
I was one kind-a compare with it.
Ah, I I made a pretty good hit on that!

But now, I done forgot I don't it so much.
But at that time he was goin' so good, you
And ah, if got any friends or relative
His or father wherever might be
To hear me that I just wanna let 'em know

'Old remember, do be forgotten'.
Things that then on, you know.

So, I to it.
To all his friends, his cousins, to ev'rything.
I to be the second behind old Big Charlie Patton.

He did.
And to tell you the
The first drank of that I ever dranken
Patton give me a little in a spoon.
He said, 'You're too young to drink too whiskey'
But I'm 'onna give you enough to what it's about.
And I still think that.
I I'd aks him to gimme the spoon.

And so, while here
I rather thinkin' of old thing like that
got to take thing 'un of consideration.
You know like that
Suppose to bring a man back.

If you're too fast
You're suppose to take a
an down, and think about.
'Cause that's best you can hardly get over.

I just wish the day I could Charlie Patton hand.
