Looking for lyrics to a song Alan Lomax sings on his "Cowboy Songs of The Old West" CD with Ed McCurdy. The song is a blue called "Eadie" and it starts off:

"Go 'way, Eadie, you dirty dog
Go 'way, Eadie, go 'way."

I did a DT and Forum search and discovered that Mudcat member Barry Finn sings this song. You might send him a PM (click the Personal Page at the top) or perhaps he'll be on the 'Cat soon.

EADIE
(Lightning and Dave Tippen, Darrington State Farm, Texas, 1934)

1 Go way, Eadie, you dirty dog,
   Wo, Eadie, go way;
   Go way, Eadie, you dirty dog,
   Wo, Eadie, go way.

2 Go way, Eadie, quit worryin' me,
   Wo, Eadie, go way.

3 Told you once and I told you twice,
   Wo, Eadie, go way.

4 Next time I tell you goin' take your life,
   Wo, Eadie, go way.

Can't sleep for dreaming can't dreaming

Go away Edie, go away

Can't sleep for dreaming can't dreaming

Go away Edie, go away


This is off the top of my head (to early in the morning to do any kind of decent recall & can't think....of wheere I might have the words). I'll get back to this, I think there might be at least 1 more verse.

To early. Sorry, that should read.

"Can't sleep for dreaming can't dream for crying"
