[00:00.00]Weeping Willow Blues - Bessie Smith
[00:12.70]I went down to the river sat beneath
[00:20.42]The willow tree
[00:24.50]The dew dropped on those willow
[00:27.72]Leaves and it rolled right down on me
[00:34.36]And that's the reason I've got those
[00:38.74]Weepin' willow blues
[00:57.24]I went up on the mountain high as
[01:04.12]Any girl could stand
[01:08.32]And looked down on the mean
[01:12.44]Town that took away my lovin' man
[01:18.68]And that's the reason I've got those
[01:22.95]Weepin' willow blues
[01:41.41]I heard the whistle blowin' the
[01:48.38]Fireman ring the bell
[01:53.54]They're takin' away that willow
[01:56.62]Tree that give me this weepin' spell
[02:02.87]And that's the reason I've got those
[02:07.30]Weepin willow blues
[02:15.02]When you're broken
[02:16.33]Hearted and your man is out of town
[02:20.40]Go to the river take the chains and sit down
[02:25.38]And if he don't come back to
[02:27.69]You I'll tell you what to do
[02:30.62]Just jump right overboard
[02:33.04]Cause he ain't no more to you
[02:36.03]Folks I love my man I kiss him
[02:38.65]Mornin noon and night
[02:40.87]I wash his clothes and keep him
[02:42.92]Clean and try to treat him right
[02:46.40]Now he's gone and left me after all I tried to do
[02:51.41]The way he treats me girls
[02:53.18]He'll do the same to you
[02:57.12]That's the reason
[02:59.91]I've got those weepin' willow blues
