In Days of Robert Johnson
by

BIRTH OF THE BLUES
Last night I heard Robert Johnson
Sing and play that first time thing
If a poor man could make a dollar
Some gal would come and take it away
And leave him lonely the next day
"If I had power over judgement day"
(I heard him sing)
" Ain't no woman be allowed to prey"
If a poor guy could make a dollar
Some gal would come to take it away
And leave him lonely the next day
SO FELLAS
Better keep that pay check commin' in
