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

An I used to pick cotton an around
in Clarksdale after them cafes, 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 didn't want to get
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 ol' sand-foot woman, womens to
come up and cut my or do somethin' to me
was unnecessary.

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

And I got before he was passed.
So, he wasn't thinkin' about passing.
And I shaked his hand once, his 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 Charlie was.

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

And so as I went on to say, you Clarksdale
is a old small 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 it easy and take his time and don't fool with
things that you have. Ah, that's not worthwhile.
You don't have even, to fool around with.
Just take easy.
'Cause ev'rything like gold
And you know, they's a lot of brass
You know, like gold.

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

But now, I done forgot I play it so much.
But at time he was goin' so good, you know?
And ah, if got any friends or relative
His mother or father might 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 to be the second behind old Big Charlie Patton.

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

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

If you're goin' too
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.
