LEVEE CAMP MOAN BLUES
Texas Alexander, 1927

1 Lord they accused me of murder : I haven't harmed a man
2 Oh they accused me of forgery : I can't write my name
3 Oh I went all around : that whole corral
4 Lord I couldn't find a mule : with his shoulder well
5 Oh I worked old Maude : and I worked old Belle
6 Lord I couldn't find a mule : Maggie with his shoulder well
7 Mmm : mmm
8 Mmm : Lord the at morning bell
9 Lord she went up the country : and but she's on my mind
10 Oh if she don't come on the big boat : she better not land
