Elder Greene Blues

[Verse One]
Greene is… Elder Greene is gone
Gone way down the country with his long coat on
With his long coat on
With his long coat on
Gone way down the country with his long coat on

[Verse Two]
Elder Greene told the Deacon, “Let’s go down in Prayer
There’s a big ‘sociation in New Orleans, come and let’s go there
Come and let’s go there
Come and let’s go there
There’s a big ‘sociation in New Orleans, come and let’s go there..."

[Verse Three]
I love to fuss and fight
I love to fuss and fight
Lord, I get sloppy drunk off a Bottle an’ Bond and walk the streets all night
And walk the streets all night
And walk the streets all night
Lord, I get sloppy drunk off a Bottle an’ Bond and walk the streets all night

[Verse Four]
Elder Greene told the deacon, “Settle down in prayer
You can take the thing I got almost anywhere...
Almost anywhere, almost anywhere
You can take all summer and walk anywhere.”

[Verse Five]
Elder Greene is gone
Elder Greene is gone
Gone way down the country with his long coat on
If you’ve got a woman, or raise her to your hand
Keep away from my woman, Molly ‘ham is lonesome-
Molly Cunningham
Molly Cunningham
Molly Cunningham
Keep away from my woman, Molly ‘ham is lonesome, Molly…

[Outro]
I love to fuss and fight
I love to fuss and fight
Lord, I get sloppy drunk off a Bottle an’ Bond
And walk the streets all night
