Levee Blues

Down in the levee Camp Number Nine

Down in the levee Camp Number Nine

You can pass my house, honey you can hear me cry

I never had no blues, until I come by here

I never had no blues, until I come by here

I'm going to leave this camp you can go start right here

Now my Mama got the blues, papa got them too

My sister got them, brother got them too

We got the rickets and the leak we all got the levee camp blues

I ain't found no doctor, ain't no doctor in this whole 'round world

I ain't found no doctor, ain't no doctor in this whole 'round world

Just to cure the blues, the blues of a levee camp girl
