Alger "Texas" Alexander - Sabine River Blues lyrics

Sabine River, mama, so deep and wide, oh Lordy Sabine River, mama, so deep and wide Sabine River, mama, so deep and wide I can see my baby on the other side Some cookin' cabbage, some cookin' collard greens, oh Lord, there is Some cookin' cabbage, some cookin' collard greens My woman got the best old garden, mama, 'round New Orleans I'm goin' to New Orleans, babe, what you want me to bring you back? Oh Lordy Goin' to New Orleans, what you want me to bring you back? Goin' to New Orleans, what you want me to bring you back? A new pair of shoes and a Merry Widow hat Iron my duckings, you can press my overhall, oh Lord, you can Iron my duckings, you can press my overhalls, you can Iron my duckings, press my overhalls 'Cause I'm just in time to catch that midnight Cannonball I'm leavin', sweet mama, don't you want to go? Oh, Lordy, I am Leavin', sweet mama, don't you want to go? 'Cause my house is hainted (sic) and I can't stay there no more
