Always wanted to be old Charlie Patton.
ago when I was a kid, I hear him an
play those numbers
'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.
None of the other boys they have an idea
I was thinkin'.
I say, I wants to come to be a man like
Charlie Patton, but I want to get killed
he did, the way he got killed, the way he had to go.
always realized I knew I had to die but I didn't
want one of ol' sand-foot woman, womens to
up and cut my throat or do somethin' to me
was unnecessary.

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

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

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

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

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

But now, I forgot 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 sayin' that I just 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 second behind old Big Patton.

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

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

If you're goin' too
You're suppose to a consideration
an settle down, and about.
'Cause that's your best you can get over.

I just wish the day I could shake Charlie hand.
