Bessie Smith - Mountain Top Blues Lyrics

Lyrics Mountain Top Blues - Bessie Smith




Feelin' sad and sorrowful
Run over with the blues
Feelin' sad and sorrowful
Run over with the blues
Someone buy me poison
That's the kinda death I choose
Goin' up to the mountain top
Throw myself down in the sea
Climb up to a mountain
Throw myself down in the sea
Hats off, fishes and waves
Make a big fuss over me
Find a big high rock to jump from
Stones are big down on the ground
Big high rock to jump from
Stones are big down on the ground
When you find me, you will see
Lots of pieces layin' around
Deep hole in the river
I'm gonna jump right in
Deep hole in the river
I'm gonna jump right in
I'll fill the hole with canon
Oh, then laugh out loud at me
Got myself a brand new hammer
Placed it underneath the tree
Got myself a hammer
Placed it underneath a tree
I hope the wind will blow so hard
The tree will fall on me
