SHE COLORS MY HOODOO
Umm, who does ya know comin' down the road?
Well, it look like Maggie, little bit. But she walks too slow
~ Tommy Johnson, Maggie Campbell Blues
Perforce it be true, Maggie
a fork in the road
corn meal salt, dear
lightens the load
Followed your shade here
it brought me this skill
tricks in the road, dear
I'm learnin' still
Perforce it be true, dear
it's given untold
nearer that rider
turnin' it gold
Perforce it be true, Maggie
fork in the road
layin' my salt, dear
lightens the load

4. Song Lyrics
Cryin', who did you know
Comin' down the road?
Comin' down the road
Umm, who does ya know
Comin' down the road?
Well, it look like Maggie, little bit
But she walks too, slow
Now, the sun is gonna shine
My back door ov'are the trees
My light due somedays
Ooo-ooo
Come your turn and
My light due someday
And the wind gon' change all
Blow my blues away
Now, cc rider
See what you done, done
See what you done, done
Umm-mmm
Cc rider
See what you done, done
You done made me love you
Now you're through
Tryin'-a throw me down
Well, I'm gon' away, now
Won't be back 'till fall
Won't be back 'till fall
Well, I'm gon' away, now
Won't be back 'till fall
'Till I meet my good gal faror
Won't be back a'tol
Now, who that yonder
Comin' down the road?
Comin' down the road?
Umm-mmm
Who's that yonder
Comin' down the road?
Does it look like Maggie, a little bit
But she walks too, slow.
Umm-mm, goin' baby
Won't be back' till fall
Won't be back' till fall
I'm goin' away, long
I'll be back in fall
Well, I might meet my new gal
But I, I won't be back a'tol.
