Future Blues - Charlie Patton

Can’t tell my future

And I can’t tell my past

Can’t tell my future

And I can’t tell my past

Lord, it seems like every minute

Sure gonna be my last

The minutes seems like hours

And hours seems like days

The minutes seems like hours

And hours seems like days

And it seems like my woman

Outta stop her low down ways

The woman I love now

She’s five feet from the ground

I said, the woman I love now

Lordy, five feet from the ground

And she’s tailor made

And ain’t no hand me down

Lord, and I got a woman now

Lordy, she’s lightnin when she

Lightnin' when she, lightnin' smile

I say, I got a woman

Lord, and she’s lightnin when she smiles

Five feet and four inches

And she’s damn good lookin' size

Well, I know you see that picture

Now, Lordy, up on your mother’s

Up on your mother’s, mama’s shelf

I know you see that picture now

Up on your mother’s shelf

Well, you know bout that

I’m gettin' tired of sleeping by myself

And it’s T for Texas

Now, it’s T for Tennessee

And it’s T for Texas

Now, it’s T for Tennessee

Lord, bless that woman

That put that thing on me
