Easy Rider Blues by Blind Lemon Jefferson Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1927

[Verse 1]
Aw, tell me where my easy rider's gone
Tell me where my easy rider's gone
Well, (anywhere these) women always in the wrong

[Verse 2]
Your easy rider died on the road
Man, the easy rider died on the road
I'm a poor boy here and ain't got nowhere to go

[Verse 3]
There's gonna be the time that a woman don't need no man
Well it's gonna be a time (that) a woman don't need no man
Say, baby, shut your mouth and don't be raisin' sand

[Verse 4]
Train I ride don't bum no coal at all
Train I ride don't bum no coal at all
The coal I bum everybody say is the cannonball

[Verse 5]
I went to the depot
I mean I went to the depot, sat my suitcase down
The blues overtake me and the tears co me rollin' down
[Verse 6]
Woman I love, she must be out of town
Woman I love, man, she's outta town
She left me this momin' with her face in a terrible frown

[Verse 7]
I got a gal across town, she crochets all the time
I got a gal across town, crochetin' all the time
Sugar, you don't quit crochetin', you're gonna lose your mind

[Verse 8]
Say fair brown, what's the matter now?
Say fair brown, what's the matter now?
You're tryin' your best to quit me, woman, and you
Don't know how
