Levee Camp Blues Songtext
von Washboard Sam

Boy, let′s wind some!

Says, I worked in a levee camp
Just about a month ago
Says, I worked in a levee camp
Just about a month ago
Says, I wind so many wagons
It made my poor hands sore

We slept just like dogs
Eat beans both night and day
We slept just like dogs
Eat beans both night and day
But I never did know
Just when we'd do our pay


They had two shifts on day
And the same two shifts at night
They had two shifts on day
And the same two shifts at night
But if a man wind wagons
He can′t treat his baby right

Yeah, boy, yeah
Wind it now
Ah, wind it

Electric light gone out
Caterpillars buggin' down
Electric light gone out
Caterpillars buggin' down
I′m gon′ keep on windin'
′Cause I'm the best windin′ town
