Here's a version from "Country Blues Songbook" ed. by Stefan Grossman et al, l973, and this is attributed to Mississippi John Hurt:

Raise up, baby. Get your big leg off mine. (repeat)
They're so heavy, make a good man change his mind.

I asked you, baby, to come and hold my hand. (repeat)
Send me word that you'd rather see me dead.

I'm goin'. I'm goin'. Your cryin' won't make me stay. (repeat)
More you cry, the further you drive me away.

Some crave high yellow. I like black and brown. (repeat)
Black won't quit you. Brown won't lay you down.

It was late at midnight and the moon shine bright like day. (repeat)
I seen your faror goin' up the right-of-way.

[Faror said to be a Mississippi synonym for girl friend.]
