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

An I to pick cotton an come around
in Clarksdale after them cafes, eatin'
an cracker.
None of the other boys didn't have an idea
I was thinkin'.
I say, I to come to be a great 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 always realized I I had to die but I didn't
one of those ol' sand-foot woman, womens to
come up and cut my or do somethin' to me
was unnecessary.

And so on down and got me old piece a-guitar.
And I always to play about
'Hitch up my buggy, up my black mare'
'I wanna my baby in this great big world, somewhere.'

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

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

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

And so Charlie Patton used to sing that about
'Hitch up my and saddle up my black mare'
And I hear, would knock 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 women sickin' them on me'.
I was one that compare with it.
Ah, I think I made a good hit on that!

But now, I forgot I don't play it so much.
But at that he was goin' so good, you know?
And ah, if he's got any friends or
His mother or father wherever be
To hear me sayin' that I just let 'em know

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

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

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

And so, we're here
I rather thinkin' of old time like that
We've got to take 'un of consideration.
You know thing that
Suppose to a man mind back.

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

I just the day I could shake Charlie Patton hand.
