LYRICS:

Raise up, baby, get your big leg offa mine
Raise up, baby, get your big leg offa mine
They're so heavy, make a good man change his mind

I asked you, baby, to come and hold my head
I ask you, baby, to come and hold my head
Send me word that you'd rather see me dead

I'm goin', I'm goin', your cryin' won't make me stay
I'm goin', I'm goin', cryin' won't make me stay
More you cry, the further you drive me away

Some crave high yellow, I like black and brown
Some crave high yellow, I like black and brown
Black won't quit you, brown won't lay you down

It was late at midnight and the moon shine bright like day
It was late at midnight and moon shine bright like day
I seen your faror goin' up the right of way

LYRICS:

Frankie was a good girl, everybody know,
she paid one hundred dollars for Albert's suit of clothes
He's her man, but he did her wrong

Frankie went down to the corner saloon, she ordered her a glass of
beer,
she asked the barkeeper, "Gas my lovin' Albert been here?"
"He been here, but he's gone again"

"Ain't gonna tell you no story, Frankie, I ain't gonna tell you no
lie"
Says, "Albert a-passed about a hour ago, with a girl you call Alice
Frye
He's your man, and he's doin' you wrong

Frankie went down to the corner saloon, she didn't go to be gone long
She peeked through keyhole in the door, spied Albert in Alice's arm
He's my man, and you's doin' me wrong

Frankie called Albert, she shot him three or four times,
says, "Stand back, I'm smokin' my gun, let me see is Albert dyin'
He's my man, and he did me wrong"

Frankie and the judge walked outta the stand, and walked out side by
side
The judge says, "Frankie, you're gonna be justified,
killin' a man, and he did you wrong"

Frankie was a good girl, everybody know,
she paid one hundred dollars for Albert's suit of clothes
He's her man, but he did her wrong

Said, "Turn me over, mother, turn me over slow,
it may be my last time, you won't turn me no more
He's my man, and he did me wrong"

Says, Frankie was a good girl, everybody know,
she paid one hundred dollars for Albert's suit of clothes
He's her man, but he did her wrong

LYRICS:

Got the blues, can't be satisfied
Got the blues, can't be satisfied
Keep the blues, I'll catch that train and ride

Whiskey straight will drive the blues away
Whiskey straight will drive the blues away
That be the case, I wants a quart today

Bought my gal a great big diamond ring
Bought my gal a great big diamond ring
Come right back home and caught her shakin' that thing

I said, "Babe what makes you act this-a-way?"
I said, "Baby why did you act this-a-way?"
Says I won't miss a thing she gives away

Took my gun and I broke the barrel down
Took my gun and broke the barrel down
Put my baby six feet under the ground

I cut that joker so long deep and wide
Cut that joker so long deep and wide
Yet got the blues and I still ain't satisfied

Bob shot one and Louis shot two
but Barnes shot Collins, shot him through and through -

When they heard that Louis was dead
all the people dressed in red,

Chorus

Oh, kind friends now ain't it hard
to see poor Louis in a new graveyard
where angels laid him away.

Chorus

Miz Collins weep, Miz Collins moan
to see your son Louis leave his home -
angels laid him away.

LYRICS

Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned,
to see her son Louis leavin' home
The angels laid him away

The angels laid him away,
they laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away

Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned,
to see her son Louis leavin' home
The angels laid him away

Oh, Bob shot once and Louis shot too,
shot poor Collins, shot him through and through
The angels laid him away

Oh, kind friends, oh, ain't it hard?,
to see poor Louis in a new graveyard
The angels laid him away

The angels laid him away,
they laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away

Oh, when they heard that Louis was dead
all the people they dressed in red
The angels laid him away

The angels laid him away,
they laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away

Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned,
to see her son Louis leavin' home
The angels laid him away

The angels laid him away,
they laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away

Subject: TAB:'Nobody cares for me' by Mississippi John Hurt

Here's a transcription of Mississippi John Hurts 'Nobody cares for me'
as can be heard on the CD Rounder 1082, recorded in Annapoli,
Maryland,
April 2-4, 1963. It is a simple 16 measure Waltz in D played. (In a
tempo
of 150 b.p.m. it sounds quit oke)

I've used pretty standard notation, so I quess it doesn't require much
explanation. ( the '/' stands for slide).

Two quitar sections are described: one which is used behind the verses
and
a variation of it used as an instrumental break.

Happy picking

Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me

It was a bright moon lighted night,
the moon shining bright
When you and I made love
Your love wasn't true, I'll say onto you
I moaned like a turtledove

Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me

I'm coming home, no more to roam
darling I'm coming home
I'm coming home, no more to roam
darling I'm coming home

Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me
Lonesome is I, Wished I could die
Nobody cares for me

It was a bright moon lighted night, the moon shining bright
When you and I made love
Your love wasn't true, I'll say onto you
I moaned like a turtledove

LYRICS:

Gimme red lipstick and a bright purple rouge
A shingle bob haircut and a shot of good booze
Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowin' your horn
If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone

Come along young man, everything settin' right
My husbands goin' away till next Saturday night
Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowin' you horn
If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone

Now, I'm raring to go, got red shoes on my feet
My mind is sittin' right for a Tin Lizzie2 seat
Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowin' you horn
If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone

The red rooster said, "Cockle-doodle-do-do"
The Richard's' woman said, "Any dude will do"
Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowin' you horn
If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone

With rosy red garters, pink hose on my feet
Turkey red bloomer, with a rumble seat
Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowin' you horn
If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone

Every Sunday mornin', church people watch me go
My wings sprouted out, and the preacher told me so
Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowin' you horn
If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone

Dress skirt cut high, then they cut low
Don't think I'm a sport, keep on watchin' me go
Hurry down, sweet daddy, come blowin' you horn
If you come too late, sweet mama will be gone

Stack O' Lee Blues
words and music by Mississippi John Hurt
original transcription by Stefan Grossman
typed in by me: Terry Henning

(This just repeats for all the verses. It's played very fast. I
timed the
section below from the tape and MJH plays the whole thing in about 11
sec.
- Just to give an idea of tempo) Also, it sounds like it is played
with
a capo on the 1st fret.

Police Officer, How can it be?
You can 'rest everybody but cruel Stack O' Lee.
That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O' Lee.

Billy de Lyon told Stack O' Lee, "Please don't take my life.
I got two little babies, and a darlin' lovin' wife."
That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O' Lee.

"What I care about you little babies, your darlin' lovin' wife?
You done stole my Stetson hat, I'm bound to take you life."
That bad man, cruel Stack O' Lee.

(Fourth and fifth verses hummed)

...with the forty-four.
When I spied Billy de Lyon, he was lyin' down on the floor.
That bad man, oh cruel Stack O' Lee.

"Gentlemans of the jury, what do you think of that?
Stack O' Lee killed Billy de Lyon about a five-dollar Stetson hat."
That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O' Lee.

And all they gathered, hands way up high,
At twelve o'clock they killed him, they's all glad to see him die.
That bad man, oh, cruel Stack O' Lee
