Trinity River Bottom Blues

I'm going to the Trinity and toss these blues away
Going to the Trinity, toss these blues away
I've got a real mean papa that's worryin' me every day

Around in Trinity Bottom you can hear the whippoorwill call
In Trinity Bottom hear the whippoorwill call
There's a woman on the hilltop waiting for my downfall

This mean old Trinity with its rippling waves
This mean old Trinity with its mighty rippling waves
Lord, keeps me worried both night and day

Ah, play that thing!

I walk these banks 'til my feet are soakin' wet
I walk these muddy banks, ah, 'til my feet are soakin' wet
I just can't find my mean old rider yet

I get Trinity blues at midnight, I get them in the day
I get Trinity blues at midnight, get them in the day
I believe I'll jump overboard and drive these blues away
