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

An I used to pick cotton an come
in Clarksdale after them cafes, eatin'
an cracker.
None of the other boys didn't 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.
I've always realized I I had to die but I didn't
want one of those ol' sand-foot woman, to
come up and cut my or do somethin' to me
was unnecessary.

And so goes on and got me old piece a-guitar.
And I always wanted to play
'Hitch up my buggy, saddle up my black
'I find 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 brother in
a brother that work at The Compress.
And I said, if I ever lived to get way grown
or grown, I would wanna be just Charlie Patton was.

An after I heard 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 to play-a, a number by
'Old blue jumped the rabbit and they runnin' one mile'
'When the fell dead, he cried just like a child'.
And you know I felt so good over that I quit rabbit.
'Cause them you know do holler when the dog
catch up to 'em. He could bit in a newborn
And they was and cry'nin'.
And ah, after I hear, Charlie Patton on
an play number, I 'cide I just stop eat rabbit
If had my dog catch 'em and I take from 'em.

And so as I went on to say, you know
is a little old town that-a-way.
A lot of boys been in there.
But in traveling them little small town
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 don't have. Ah, not worthwhile.
You don't have time even, to around with.
Just life easy.
'Cause ev'rything like gold
And gold you know, they's a lot of
You know, shine gold.

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

But now, I forgot I don't play it so much.
But at time he was goin' so good, you know?
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'.
that 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 still about that.
I wish I'd aks him to the spoon.

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

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

I just wish the day I shake Charlie Patton hand.
