Preachin' Blues (Pt. 1) / Son House - Charlie Patton

Yeah, I’m gon' fold my arms, I’m gonna kneel down in prayer

Whoa, I fold my arms, gonna kneel down in prayer

When I get up I’m gonna leave my preachin blues laying there

Now I met the blues this morning, walking just like a man

Oh, walking just like a man

I said good morning blues, now give me you right hand

Now there aint nothing now baby, Lord that’s gon' worry my mind

Oh, Lord that’s gon' worry my mind

I’m satisfied I got the longest line

I got to stay on the job, I aint got no time to lose

Yeah, I aint got no time to lose

I swear to God, I got to preach these gospel blues

(Praise God almighty)

Oh, I’m gonna preach these blues and choose my seat and sit down

Whoa, I’m gonna preach these blues now and choose my seat and sit down

When the spirit comes, I want you to jump straight up and down.
