Thread Name: Lyr Req: Motherless Child (from Eric Clapton)
Subject: RE: Lyric Request: 'Motherless Child'
"I'm goin' to the river, take my rocker chair,
If the blues overtake me, gonna rock away from here."
From a version of Dink's Blues, in Lomax. Paul Oliver, "Screening the Blues."
Looks like material cobbled together from a number of old blues songs.
