Troubles

Oh Lordy me and oh Lordy my
See you when you haven't got a dime
Troubles are so deep that you don't eat or sleep
See you when your troubles are like mine
I asked the Captain for a job
He said "Son what can you do?"
I can line a track and I can ball a jack
I can pick and shovel too
Oh Lordy me and oh Lordy my
See you on an early morning train
Going down the track and I ain't ever coming back
Back down this a way again

I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina I did go
There i met a fair young maiden
Who's name I did not know
Her hair was dark in color
and her lips were ruby red
on her breast she wore white linen
there I longed to lay my head
I don't want no greenback dollar
I don't want no watch and chain
All I want is you my darlin'
Won't you take me back again?
Cause I'd rather be in some dark holler
where the sun don't ever shine
than to see you with another
never to be mine
I'll go back to East Virginia
North Carolina's not my home
I'll go back to East Virginia
and leave those North Carolinians alone

My heart is sad and filled with sorrow
for the only one I love
when will I see her, oh no never
until we meet in heaven above
Bury me beneath the willow
underneath the willow tree
for she might know where I am sleeping
and perhaps she'll weep for me
Tomorrow was our wedding day
oh but where is she
she's gone to find another man
no longer to marry me
Bury me beneath the willow
under the weeping willow tree
for she might know where I've been sleeping
and perhaps she'll weep for me
They told me that she did not love me
but I couldn't believe that it was true
until an angel softly whispered
she has been untrue to you
Bury me beneath the willow
underneath the willow tree
for she may know where I am sleeping
and perhaps she'll weep for me

Boll weevil told the farmer
you better treat me right
I'll eat up all of you crops
and sleep in your grain rail tonight
Boll weevil told the captain
you won't need no Ford machine
I'll eat up all of your cotton
and you won't afford the gasoline
Yonder come the spider
creeping down the wall
I bet he's a going
to get his ashes hauled
I don't see no water
But I'm about to drown
I don't see no fire
But I'm burning down

Rose Connelly

Down in the willow garden that's where my love and I did meet
There we sat a-courting my love she fell off to sleep
I had a bottle of burglar's wine my true love did not know
There I planned to murder that dear little girl down by the banks below
I stabbed her with a dagger, it was a bloody knife
I threw her in the river what a dreadful sight
My father often told me that money would set me free
If I would murder that dear little girl whose name was Rose Connelly
But now he sits by his own cottage door a wiping a weeping eye
For he must watch his own dear son up on the scaffold high
My race is run beneath the sun hell now is waiting for me
For I did murder that dear little girl whose name was Rose Connelly
