paroles de chanson Rope Stretching Blues, Pt. 1 - Blind Blake

I caught a stranger in my house, and I busted his head with a club
I caught a stranger in my house, and I busted his head with a club
I lay him out cold, with his heels in a tub

I seen the sheriff coming, and I jumped for the door
I seen the sheriff coming, and I jumped for the door
But I jumped too late, the sheriff had done jumped before

They buried a man Thursday, just two short days you see
They buried a man Thursday, just two short days you see
And it makes me wonder, what they going to do to me

I killed a man, and that's the how and how
I killed a man, and that's the how and how
I'm sitting here wondering, if a woman's worth it now

Mmm, rope stretching all day long
Mmm, rope stretching all day long
In just a few more days, I won't be able to sing my song
