BIRD NEST BOUND (Charley Patton) Come on, mama, out to the edge of town Come on mama. Go to the edge of town. I know where there's a bird nest, built down on the ground. If I was a bird, mama, If I was a bird, mama, I would find a nest in the heart of town. (Lord, you know I'd build it in the heart of town.) So when the town get lonesome, I'd be bird-nest bound. Hard luck is at your front door. Blues are in your room. Hard luck is at your front door. Blues are in your room. Charley's (callin') at your back door. What is gonna become of you? Sometime I say I need you, then again, I don't. Sometime I say I need you, then again, I don't. (You know it's the truth, baby.) Sometime I think I'll quit you, then again, I won't. Oh, I remember one mornin', standin' in my baby's door. (Shucks, boy, tell me 'bout it.) Oh, I remember one mornin', standin' in my baby's door. (Boy, you know what she told me?) Looka here, Papa Charley. I don't want you 'round no more. Safe sweet home, sweet home, baby, through that shinin' star. Safe sweet home, now, through, ah, that shinin' star. (Lord, you know I'm just staying there.) You don't need no tellin', mama. Take you in my car. @blues filename[ BIRDNEST JW  8note Sheet |
