If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day Lyrics - Complete Recordings - Robert Johnson

If I had possession, over judgment day 

If I had possession, over judgment day 

Lord, the little woman I'm lovin' wouldn't, have no right to pray 

 

And I went to the mountain, lookin' as far as my eyes could see 

And I went to the mountain, lookin' as far as my eyes would see 

Some other man got my woman, and these lonesome blues got me 

 

And I rolled and I tumbled and I, cried the whole night long 

And I rolled and I tumbled and I, cried the whole night long 

Boy, I woke up this mornin', my biscuit roller gone 

 

Had to fold my arms and I, slowly walked away 

(spoken: I didn't like the way she done) 

Had to fold my arms and I, slowly walked away 

I said in my mind, "Yo' trouble gon' come some day1" 

 

Now run here, baby, set down on my knee 

Now run here, baby, set down on my knee 

I wanna tell you all about the way they treated me 

 

Note: this is another version of the Mississippi piece often known, though mostly 

with very differing lyrics, as Rollin' And Tumblin' (Rollin' And Tumblin', by 

McKinley Morganfield a.k.a. Muddy Waters & Rolling And Tumbling, by Elmore 

James), in many versions it's also known as Brownville Blues; 

 

Note 1: alternatively "I felt in my mind, your trouble gon' come some day" 

instead of "I said in my mind, "Yo, trouble gon' come some day" ".
