Bus Rider Blues
(Blind Boy Fuller)
[Chicago, 19 June 1940 (WC-3 139-A) OK-05933]

Going to catch that old Greyhound : going to ride from town, going to ride from town to town
Then I will find my little woman : don't think she can't be, don't think she can't be found

Now Mr. redcap porter : won't you help me with my heavy, won't you help me with my heavy load
Say now my woman she done and quit me : she's far on down the, she's far on down the road

Then I know my little woman : she bound to love, she bound to love me some
When she throws her arms around poor me: like the circle around a, like the circle around the sun

It's the day before Christmas : let me bring your presents, let me bring your presents tonight
Then I will be your Santy Claus: says even if my whiskers, says even if my whiskers ain't white
