Greetings again,
In case anyone is interested, here are the lyrics I just recorded:
I Know You Rider (Traditional, adapted & arranged by Steve Suffet)
I know you rider gonna miss me when I'm gone, I know you rider gonna miss me when I'm gone, Gonna miss your lovin' daddy rollin' round in your arms.
Now, I wish was a catfish swimmin' in the bottom of the sea, Said, I wish was a catfish swimmin' in the bottom of the sea, And my baby come a-fishin', she come a-fishin' after me.
Takes a hard hearted woman to make a long time man feel bad, Takes a hard hearted woman to make a long time man feel bad, She makes he remember all of the troubles that he had.
Well, I ain't got a nickel, and I ain't got a lousy dime, Said, I ain't got a nickel, and I ain't got a lousy dime, Without your love, babe, the sun ain't never gonna shine.
But that sun's gonna shine in my back door some day, Said, that sun's gonna shine in my back door some day, And that wind from the river carry all my troubles away.
I know you rider gonna miss me when I'm gone, I know you rider gonna miss me when I'm gone, Gonna miss your lovin' daddy rollin' round in your arms.
I can't recall for sure where I got all the verses from, except that they came from many sources.
