Dry Spell Blues Pt. 2 - Son House
It have been so dry you can make a powderhouse out of the world
Well it have been so dry you can make a powderhouse out of the world
Then all the moneymen like a rattlesnake in his coil
I done throwed up my hands Lord and solemnly swore
I done throwed up my hands Lord and solemnly swore
There ain't no need of me changing towns it's a drought everywhere I go
It's a dry old spell everywhere I been
Lord it's a dry old spell everywhere I been
I believe to my soul this old world is about to end
Well I stood in my back yard wrung my hands and screamed
I stood in my back yard I wrung my hands and screamed
And I couldn't see nothing couldn't see nothing green
Oh Lord have mercy if you please
Oh Lord have mercy if you please
Let your rain come down and give our poor hearts ease
These blues these blues is worthwhile to be heard
Oh these blues is worthwhile to be heard
For it's very likely bound to rain somewhere
