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

An I used to cotton an come around
in after them cafes, eatin' cheese
an cracker.
of the other boys they didn't have an idea
I was thinkin'.
I say, I wants to come to be a great man
Patton, but I didn't want to get killed
he did, the way he got killed, the way he had to go.
I've always I knew I had to die but I didn't
one of those ol' sand-foot woman, womens to
come up and cut my throat or do to me
was unnecessary.

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

And I got chance he was passed.
So, he wasn't even thinkin' passing.
And I his hand once, his brother in Clarksdale
a brother that work at The Compress.
And I said, if I lived to get half way grown
or grown, I would wanna be just like Charlie was.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If you're too fast
You're to take a consideration
an settle down, and about.
'Cause your best you can hardly get over.

I just wish the day I shake Charlie Patton hand.
