I'm Going Down That Gravel - Fred McDowell, Miles Pratcher, Fanny Davis

I’m goin' down that river

I’m goin'-a take that right hand road

I’m goin' down the river

I’m goin-a take that right hand road

Lord, I ain’t gon' stop walkin'

'Till I get in sweet mama’s arms

Lord, the girl I’m lovin'

She got that great long curly hair

Lord, the girl I’m lovin'

Got the great long curly hair

Lord, her mama an her papa, Lord

Sure don’t allow me there

Lord, allow me, sure, don’t allow me Sure, don’t allow me, sure, don’t allow me Sure, don’t allow, allow me there

Lord, Lord, sho' don’t allow, 'llow me there

Sun rose this mornin', baby

Lord, I was layin' down on my flo'

Lord, the sun rose this mornin'

I was layin' down on my flo'

Lord, no woman to love me Baby, even no place to go Lord, nobody, love me, baby

Lord, no place, place to go Lord, even no, place to go Lordy, Lordy, Lord, Lord

Lord, I’m goin' away, baby

Don’t you wanna go?

I ain’t never been before

Oh, Lord, I Lord, I’m goin', goin' somewhere
