作曲:Mississippi Fred McDowell
Well i worked on the levee
Till i went stone blind
Well i worked on the levee baby
'till i went stone blind
Well you can't do me
Like you done po' shine
Lord you took his money
I declare you can't take mine
Captain come out drive him
And he won't go long all around
How can i drive him captain
And he won't go long all around
He won't eat no oatmeal
Or he won't even eat his corn
I'm a long line skinner
I got the shortest line
I'm a long time skinner
I got the shortest line
I'm a long line skinner
But i've got the shortest line
Well i worked on levee
Honey and i worked old belle
Well i worked old lou captain
Lordy and i worked old belle
I couldn't find a mule
Lord with a shoulder well
Lord that captain hollerin hurry
Boy you know i'm almost flyin'
Well that captain hollerin' hurry
Lordy and i'm almost flyin'
Lord he ain't gotta worry a bit baby
He won't even keep time
