[Verse 1]
If I had possession over judgment day
If I had possession over judgment day
Lord, the little woman I'm loving wouldn't have no right to pray

[Verse 2]
And I went to the mountain, looking as far as my eyes could see
And I went to the mountain, looking as far as my eyes would see
Some other man got my woman and lonesome blues got me

[Verse 3]
And I rolled and I tumbled and I, cried the whole night long
And I rolled and I tumbled and I, cried the whole night long
Boy, I woke up this morning, my biscuit roller gone

[Verse 4]
Had to fold my arms and I slowly walked away
(I didn't like the way she done)
Had to fold my arms and I slowly walked away
I said in my mind, "Yo' trouble gon' come some day"

[Verse 5]
Now run here, baby, set down on my knee
Now run here, baby, set down on my knee
I wanna tell you all about the way they treated me
