Pea Vine Blues Lyrics
I think I heard the pea vine when it blowed
I think I heard the pea vine when it blowed
It blow just like my rider gettin' on board
Well, the levee sinkin', you know I... (Baby, you know I can't stay)
The levee is sinkin', Lord, you know I gotta go
I'm goin' up the country, mama, in a few more days
Yes, you know it, she know it, she know you done me wrong
Yes, you know it, you know it, you know you done me wrong
Yes, you know, you know it, you know you done done me wrong
Yes, I cried last night and I ain't gonna cry anymore
I cried last night an' I, I ain't gonna cry anymore
Cause the good book tells us you've got to reap just what you sow
Stop your way o' livin' an' you won't... (You won't have to cry no more, baby)
Stop your way o' livin' an' you won't have to cry no more
Stop your way o' livin' an' you won't have to cry no more
I think I heard the pea vine when it blowed
I think I heard pea vine when it blowed
She blowed just like she wasn't gonna blow no more
