Washboard Sam - Levee Camp Blues lyrics

(Instrumental intro) 'Boy, let's wind some' Yes, I worked in a levee camp Just about a month ago Says, I worked in a levee camp Just about a month ago Says, I wired so many wagons It made my po' hands so' We slept just like dogs Eat beans both night and day We slept just like dogs Eat beans both night and day Well, I never did know Just when we due our pay They had two shifts on days And the same two shifts at night They had two shifts on days And the same two shifts at night But if a man wired wagons He can't feed his baby, right 'Yeah boy, you windin, now' (instrumental & guitar) 'Oh, wind it' Electric lights gone out Catapillar's boggin' down Electric lights gone out Catapillar's been boggin' down I'm gonna keep on windin' 'Cause I'm the best ol' winder in town. ~
