Gus Cannon - Feather Bed lyrics

I remember the time just before the war Colored man used to fuss about shucks and straw But now, bless God, old Ma**a dead Colored man plumb fool about feather bed Whee, whee, my dear, and it's Over the road I'm bound to go I went uptown, gonna sneak in the house Think I heared my baby cryin' Whee, whee, whee, honey Over the road I'm bound to go Whee, whee, baby Over the road I'm bound to go I went downtown, didn't mean no harm Police grabbed me right by my arm Soon I begin to kick, I begin to rear Felt like strollin' in the air Ooooh, oooh, oooh, baby Over the road I'm bound to go I went downtown, doin' my best Find the boy that stole the vest Went on round about Court Square To find the boy that done stole the coat Whee, whee, baby Over the road I'm bound to go Now I knew Judge Lewis was in the stand Had them law books in his hand When I begin to speak, pulled out a writ Begin to read it to me "This means you've been stealin', oh, it's clear." Whee, whee, whee, baby Over the road I'm bound to go Here's Old Pritt and Moses Brown Them goin' across the street to keep goin' to town Oooh, oooh, oooh, baby Over the road I'm bound to go
