Red River Dam Blues Lyrics - Singles - Washboard Sam

I've been rollin' and ramblin' 

Mama, ever since you been gone 

I've been rollin' and ramblin' 

Ever since you been gone 

Lord, I can't be satisfied 

And can't even stay at home 

Baby, you's a long time comin' 

But you are all welcome home 

You may be a long time comin' 

Mama, you are welcome home 

Lord, I missed you so much 

Ever since you been gone 

'Beat out one, boy' 

(instrumental & guitar) 

I'm gonna build me scaffold 

Down by Red River Dam 

I'm gonna build me scaffold 

Down by Red River Dam 

I may hang myself down there 

Where people don't know who I am 

Ever since you been gone 

My life don't seem the same 

Ever since you been gone 

My life don't seem the same 

It break my heart to hear 

Someone eles call yo' name 

'Beat it out, beat it boy, beat it' 

(instrumental & piano) 

'I'll have hanged'.
