Lonnie Johnson Low Land Moan Lyrics

I went down to the levee : and [over, out] to the freight
house yard
They paid a dollar an hour : but the work was too long
and hard

Have pigtails in my pantry : neckbones on my shelf
I ain't got none to give you : I got just enough for
myself

I'm going to buy me a shotgun : long as I am tall I'm going to shoot my woman : just to see her fall

Over yonder's the river : yonder is your big lake
At your house rent party : you made your last mistake

I chew my bacca : and I spit my juice
I tried to love you so hard : but I found out there's no
use
