Elder Greene Blues Lyrics

Green is... Elder Green is gone
Gone way down the country with his long coat
With his long coat
With his long coat on
Gone way down the country with his long coat on

Elder Green told the Deacon, Let's go down in prayer
There's a big 'sociation in New Orleans, come and let's go
Come and let's go
Come and let's go there
There's a big 'sociation in New Orleans, come and let's go there

I love to fuss and fight
I love to fuss and fight
Lord and get sloppy drunk off a Bottle an' Bond
And walk the streets all night
And walk the streets all night
And walk the streets all night
Lord and get sloppy drunk off a Bottle an' Bond
And walk the streets all night

Elder Green told the deacon, settle down in prayer
You can take the thing I got
Almost anywhere, yeah most anywhere
You can take all summer and walk anywhere

Elder Green is gone, Elder Green is gone
Gone way down the country with his long coat on

If you've got a woman, or raise her to your hand
Keep away from my woman, Molly 'ham is lonesome
Molly Cunningham
Molly Cunningham
Molly Cunningham
Keep away from my woman, Molly 'ham is lonesome, Molly...

I love to fuss and fight
I love to fuss and fight
Lord and get sloppy drunk off a Bottle an' Bond
And walk the streets at night
