《Rememberance of Charlie Patton》歌词

[00:00:00] Rememberance of Charlie Patton - Bukka White

[00:00:00] Always wanted to be

[00:00:01] Like old Charlie Patton

[00:00:02] Long ago when I was a kid

[00:00:03] I hear him an

[00:00:05] Play those numbers about:

[00:00:08] 'I'll hitch up my buggy

[00:00:09] And saddle my black mare'

[00:00:12] An I used to pick cotton

[00:00:13] An come around

[00:00:14] In Clarksdale after them cafes

[00:00:17] Eatin' cheese

[00:00:19] An cracker

[00:00:21] None of the other boys

[00:00:22] They didn't have an idea

[00:00:23] What I was thinkin'

[00:00:23] I say I wants to come to

[00:00:25] Be a great man like

[00:00:26] Charlie Patton

[00:00:27] But I didn't want to get killed

[00:00:29] He did

[00:00:30] The way he had to go

[00:00:31] I've always realized I knew

[00:00:32] I had to die but I didn't

[00:00:34] Want one of those ol'

[00:00:35] Sand-foot woman womens to

[00:00:37] Come up and cut my throat

[00:00:38] Or do somethin' to me

[00:00:39] That was unnecessary

[00:00:40] And so goes on down

[00:00:43] And got me old piece a-guitar

[00:00:45] And I always wanted to play about

[00:00:48] 'Hitch up my buggy

[00:00:49] Saddle up my black mare

[00:00:51] I wanna find my baby in this

[00:00:53] Great big world somewhere

[00:00:55] And I got chance

[00:00:56] Before he was passed

[00:01:00] So he wasn't even thinkin'

[00:01:01] About passing

[00:01:02] And I shaked his hand once

[00:01:03] His brother in Clarksdale

[00:01:04] Have a brother that

[00:01:05] Work at The Compress

[00:01:07] And I said if I ever lived

[00:01:09] To get half way grown

[00:01:11] Or grown I would wanna be

[00:01:12] Just like Charlie Patton was

[00:01:14] An after I heard about his death

[00:01:17] After I got might near grown

[00:01:19] I would have liked at that time

[00:01:21] To met the one that caused

[00:01:22] Him to have that dead

[00:01:24] 'Cause he was a great boy

[00:01:26] And ah he used to play-a

[00:01:28] A number by

[00:01:29] 'Old blue jumped the rabbit

[00:01:31] And they runnin' one sold mile''

[00:01:33] When the rabbit fell dead

[00:01:34] He cried just like a child'

[00:01:37] And you know I felt so good over

[00:01:39] That I quit eatin' rabbit

[00:01:40] 'Cause them rabbit you know

[00:01:41] Do holler when the dog

[00:01:42] Catch up to 'em He could

[00:01:43] Bit in a newborn baby

[00:01:44] And they was screamin' and cry'nin'

[00:01:46] And ah after I hear

[00:01:48] Charlie Patton went on

[00:01:49] An play that number

[00:01:50] I 'cide I just stop eat rabbit

[00:01:52] If had my dog catch 'em

[00:01:53] And I take away from 'em

[00:01:55] And so as I went on to say

[00:01:57] You know Clarksdale

[00:01:58] Is a little old small town that-a-way

[00:02:00] A lot of good boys been in there

[00:02:02] But in traveling through

[00:02:03] Them little small town

[00:02:04] Like that a good thing

[00:02:06] I found a good man can do

[00:02:08] Is take it easy and take

[00:02:09] His time and don't fool with

[00:02:11] Things that you don't have

[00:02:13] Ah that's not worthwhile

[00:02:15] You don't have time even

[00:02:17] To fool around with

[00:02:18] Just take life easy

[00:02:20] 'Cause ev'rything shine like gold

[00:02:21] And gold you know

[00:02:22] They's a lot of brass

[00:02:23] You know shine like gold

[00:02:24] And so Charlie Patton

[00:02:25] Used to sing that song about

[00:02:27] 'Hitch up my buggy

[00:02:28] And saddle up my black mare'

[00:02:30] And I hear would just

[00:02:32] Knock me off my feet

[00:02:33] I was bare-feeted

[00:02:34] Little bare-feeted boy too

[00:02:36] And I like it so well after

[00:02:37] I growed up the first

[00:02:39] Record I put out when

[00:02:41] I was comin' up about

[00:02:42] 'Downtown women

[00:02:44] Sickin' them dogs on me'

[00:02:44] I was one that kind-a compare with it

[00:02:47] Ah I think I made a pretty

[00:02:49] Good hit on that

[00:02:50] But now I done forgot

[00:02:51] I don't play it so much

[00:02:53] But at that time he was

[00:02:54] Goin' so good you know

[00:02:56] And ah if he's got any friends or relative

[00:02:59] His mother or father wherever might be

[00:03:01] To hear me sayin' that

[00:03:02] I just wanna let 'em know

[00:03:04] That:

[00:03:04] 'Old remember

[00:03:05] Never do be forgotten'

[00:03:06] Things that then went on you know

[00:03:08] So I gratulates to it

[00:03:10] To all his friends

[00:03:11] His cousins to ev'rything

[00:03:13] I tried to be the second behind

[00:03:15] Old Big Charlie Patton

[00:03:17] He really did

[00:03:19] And to tell you the truth

[00:03:20] The first drank of whiskey

[00:03:21] That I ever dranken

[00:03:22] Charlie Patton give me a

[00:03:24] Little in a spoon

[00:03:25] He said 'You're too young

[00:03:26] To drink too much whiskey'

[00:03:28] But I'm 'onna give you enough

[00:03:29] To know what it's about

[00:03:30] And I still think about that

[00:03:32] I wish I'd aks him to gimme the spoon

[00:03:34] And so while we're here

[00:03:36] I rather thinkin' of

[00:03:38] Old time thing like that

[00:03:40] We've got to take thing 'un

[00:03:41] Of consideration

[00:03:42] You know thing like that

[00:03:43] Suppose to bring a man mind back

[00:03:46] If you're goin' too fast

[00:03:48] You're suppose to

[00:03:48] Take a consideration

[00:03:50] An settle down and think about

[00:03:52] 'Cause that's your

[00:03:53] Best you can hardly get over

[00:03:55] I just wish the day

[00:03:56] I could shake Charlie Patton hand
