Joe Turner Blues (Live)
Lyricist:W.c Handy
This is a song was sung back In eighteen and ninety two There was a terrible flood that year People lost everything they had
Their crops, their live stock That means their horses, their mules, cows Goats and everything they had on their farm
And they would start crying And singing this song
They tell me, Joe Turner been here and gone Lord, they tell me, Joe Turner been here and gone They tell me, Joe turner been here and gone
Then they would go out hunting rabbits 'Coons and 'possums Anything they could catch Sometimes they would catch something Then again they didn't
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And when they would come home They would find flour meat and molasses In their homes and they would know that Joe Turner had been there and left food for them
And they would start crying And singing this song
They tell me, Joe Turner been here and gone Lord, they tell me, that Joe turner been here and gone They tell me, Joe Turner been here and gone
Then they would start out looking for wood And stuff to make a fire And they would look in their yards And they would find axes, wood That Joe Turner had brought there for them
Then they would get happy And start singing and crying this song They would get happy And do a little boogie woogie too
