Cow Hooking Blues (L.O.C. recordings)

Woke up this morning, just about the break of day
Woke up this morning...
I hugged my pillow where my baby used to lay

The girl I love, give me the blues and gone
The girl I love...
The girl I love, give me the blues and gone

Went to the river, river's running up and down
Went to the river...
Had the blues so bad, start to jump in and drown

Had the blues so bad, walked out to the barn
Had the blues so bad...
That old cow, she hooked me, with hеr great long horn

Lord, she hurt my heart, might 'a hеard me cryin'
She hurt my heart...

Baby, baby, please don't put me down
Baby...
Please, baby, let me change your mind

[Spoken: Interviewer, John Hurt]
That's all right, John, that sounded awful good
[That did?], [that's?] good
[Indistinct]
