Levee Camp Blues

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
