I can't find the song in indexes covering most of the Lomax books. Maybe it's in Land Where the Blues Began. I can't find an index for that, and I'm traveling and away from my copy of the book. -Joe- |

08 Jan 13 - 09:26 PM (#3463415) Subject: Lyr Req: LUCKY SONG (Floyd Batts) From: Jim Dixon Here's the way I hear it: LUCKY SONG As sung by Floyd Batts Collected by Alan Lomax at Parchman Farm, Mississippi, 1959 Lordy, I may get lucky, boys; I just don't know. Lord, I may get lucky; oh, I just don't know. Yesterday I, Lord, I get lucky, oh, just a day ago. Yesterday I get lucky, Lord, just a day ago. Lordy, I been callin' Roberta for five long years. Been callin' Roberta, oh, for five long years. She don't answer, Lord; I wonder, do she hear? Have to be bad, oh Stella; don't let her cry. Have to be bad; don't let him cry. Every time he cry, Lordy, what you think of me? A long time a-comin', Lordy, Long time a-comin', oh Stella, you can look for me. Look for me; rather be back 'fore the summer gone. I may be in a hurry; oh, I can't stay long. Lordy, skippin' and dodgin', Lordy, comin' just the same. You can tell my woman, Lordy; don't tell my wife. You can tell my woman; don't tell my wife, Lordy. Be by to see her, Lordy, if I don't stay long. |
