"Framer plays the song in standard tuning, E position. I've transcribed the lyrics below and definitely had some trouble in spots, denoted by square brackets.

Framer's Blues - Eli Framer

Well I'm going to the river, sit down there by my self
Said I'm going to the river, baby, going to sit down there by myself
Thought of the one I love, don't want nobody else

Said, it weren't for my mother and this girl I love
Said, it wasn't for my mother, baby, and this girl I love
Hear my [] [suspicion], [] [] lord above

Said my mama [busted] me when I was young and wild
Said my mama [busted] me when I was young and wild
[] you ought to consider mama, lord, you done been a child

Girl, I ain't going to marry, babe, I swear I ain't going to settle down
Said I ain't going to marry, babe, I swear I ain't going to settle down
Send my babe around here until we going to [] [] good brown down

If the blues going to kill me baby, take my measure, now n-now lord
Blues going to kill me baby, take my measure now
Said the blues going to kill me baby, take my measure now

There's a change in the ocean, mama, change in the deep blue sea
There's a change in the ocean, mama, change in the deep blue sea
Say you take me back, baby, find no change in me

If I follow my rider, baby, to her burying ground
If I follow my rider, baby, to her burying ground
Say "Easy, preacher, let her body down." "
