You Gotta Move Lyrics - 1964

[ Buy You Gotta Move ]

You knew the sun rose this mo'nin
I was layin' down on my flo'
You knew the sun rose this mo'nin
I was layin' down on my flo'
Lord!
No woman to love me
Baby, even no place to go

I been drinkin' water out here
Baby, out a hollow log
I been drinkin' water, baby, lie here
Honey, out a hollow log
I can't be your kid-man
I can't be your kid-man, then
I ain't go w'on a be yo dog

(guitar)

I'm goin' down to river, baby
I'm goin' to
I'm 'on sit down on the ground
I'm goin' to the river, baby
I'm goin' to
I'm 'on sit down on the ground
I'm gonna let the waves of water
The waves of water, baby
Honey, wash my trouble down

(guitar)

I'm goin' down to the river, baby
I'm goin' out here
I'm 'on car' my rockin' chair
Lord, I'm goin' down to the river, baby
I'm goin' to
I'm 'on car' my rockin' chair
I'm 'on ask Mr. Tadpole
Did the blues ev'r stop by here?

(guitar to end)
