Levee Camp Blues Lyrics

Levee Camp Blues lyrics

(Instrumental intro)



'Boy, let's wind some'





Yes, I worked in a levee camp

Just about a month ago

Says, I
worked in a levee camp

Just about a month ago

Says, I wired so many
wagons

It made my po' hands so'



We slept just like dogs

Eat beans both night and day

We slept just like dogs

Eat beans
both night and day

Well, I never did know

Just when we due our
pay



They had two shifts on days

And the same two shifts at
night

They had two shifts on days

And the same two shifts at
night

But if a man wired wagons

He can't feed his baby, right



'Yeah boy, ya windin, now'



(instrumental & guitar)



'Oh, wind it'



Electric lights gone out

Catapillar's
boggin' down

Electric lights gone out

Catapillar's boggin' down

I'm gonna keep on windin'

'Cause I'm the best ol' winder in town.
