Barbecue Bob, "Motherless Chile Blues"

Derick

Listen to this powerful song by Robert Hicks aka Barbecue Bob!

Also Eric Clapton was a great fan of Him and made a faithful as well as stunning version.

It was published on the famous "From The Cradle". The title changed a little bit,becoming "Motherless Child".

"If I mistreat you, gal, I sure don't mean no harm

If I mistreat you, gal, I sure don't mean no harm

I'm a motherless child and I don't know right from wrong

Please tell me, pretty mama, honey, where you stayed last night

Tell me, pretty mama, Lord, honey, where you stayed last night

You didn't come home 'til the sun was shinin' bright

I have to go so far to get my hambone boiled

I have to go so far, gal, to get my hambone boiled

These Atlanta womens gon' let my hambone spoil

I done done more for you, than your daddy ever done

I did more for you, gal, than your daddy ever done

I give you my jelly, he ain't gived you none

When you see two women always runnin' hand in hand

You can bet your bottom dollar, one's got the other one's man

I'm goin' to the river, get me a Tango rocking chair

If the blues overtake me, gonna rock 'em away from there..."
