Skip James - Drunken Spree lyrics

I pawned my watch, pawned my chain Pawned my diamond ring If that don't settle my drunken spree I'll never get drunk again It was late last night when Miss Willie come home She'd made one rap on my door I said, "Is that you, Miss Willie? I'd like to know Don't you rap no more" I love Miss Willie, yes, I do I love her till the sea go dry And if I thought she didn't love me I'd take morphine and die She's up in her little stockin' feet, tippin' 'cross the floor Just like she had done before Yes, and I pawned my clothes, pawned my shoe I'll never get drunk no more I begged Miss Willie, down on my knee To forgive me, if she please "Well, you done caused me to weep And you caused me to moan Done caused me to lose my happy home" I hollered, "Oh me, oh my I'll never let another drink go by" If I thought she didn't love me I'd take morphine and die I pawned my watch, pawned my chain Pawned my diamond ring And if that don't settle all my drunken spree Lord, I'll never get drunk again
