Blind Willie McTell - Hillbilly Willie's Blues

Roosevelt is a mighty fine man, darling
Roosevelt is a mighty fine man, darling
Roosevelt is a mighty fine man, got to be the President of our land, darling

My baby got a diamond ring, darling
My baby got a diamond ring, darling
My baby got a diamond ring, poor me ain't got a doggone thing, darling

My baby got a Cadillac 8, darling
My baby got a Cadillac 8, darling
My baby got a Cadillac 8, poor me ain't got nowhere to stay, darling

My baby got a house and a lot, darling
My baby got a house and lot, darling
My baby got a house and lot, poor me ain't got doodly-squat, darling

Moonshine been here long enough, darling
Moonshine been here long enough, darling
Moonshine been here long enough, let's get right and drink up this stuff, darling

Came all the way from Arkansas, darling
Came all the way from Arkansas, darling
Came all the way from Arkansas, just barefoot as a darn yard dog, darling

Ten dollar bill and a bottle of beer, darling
Ten dollar bill and a bottle of beer, darling
Ten dollar bill and a bottle of beer, I wish, by gosh, my honey was here, darling

I got a gal in the white folks' yard, darling
I got a gal in the white folks' yard, darling
I got a gal in the white folks' yard, she don't drink liquor but she do play cards, darling
