paroles de chanson If It Wasn't for Dicky - Leadbelly



Ooohhhh, oohhhh, switches beated him down
And that everyone but Dicky I would change you right now
But this old man he had but one cow
He would send her to the field to be fed
And the way they beat old Jemma dropped dead
Ooohhhh, oohhhh, switches beated him down
When the old man heard that his cow she was dead
Over hedges and ditches and fields he had fled
Over hedges and ditches and fields that were ploughed
Visit to the wife til they came to his cow
Ooohhhh, oohhhh, switches beated him down
When he first saw Jemma she was in the green grass
No --------------------- Jemma so fast
She gave her milk freely without any bill
But the blood of her life spilled out of her pail
Ooohhhh, oohhhh, switches beated him down
So now I sit down and eat my dry meal
But I have no butter to put in my tea
I have no milk to sup with my bread
Ooohhhh, oohhhh, switches beated him down
F it wasn't for Dicky I would change you right now
But this old man he had but one cow
He would send her to the field to be fed
And the way they beat old Jemma dropped dead
Ooohhhh, oohhhh, switches beated him down
