Rememberance of Charlie Patton - Bukka White
Always wanted to be
Like old Charlie Patton
Long ago when I was a kid
I hear him an
Play those numbers about:

'I'll hitch up my buggy
And saddle my black mare'

An I used to pick cotton
An come around
In Clarksdale after them cafes
Eatin' cheese
An cracker
None of the other boys
They didn't have an idea
What I was thinkin'
I say I wants to come to
Be a great man like
Charlie Patton
But I didn't want to get killed
He did
The way he had to go
I've always realized I knew
I had to die but I didn't
Want one of those ol'
Sand-foot woman womens to
Come up and cut my throat
Or do somethin' to me
That was unnecessary

And so goes on down
And got me old piece a-guitar
And I always wanted to play about
'Hitch up my buggy
Saddle up my black mare
I wanna find my baby in this
Great big world somewhere

And I got chance
Before he was passed
So he wasn't even thinkin'
About passing
And I shaked his hand once
His brother in Clarksdale
Have a brother that
Work at The Compress

And I said if I ever lived
To get half way grown
Or grown I would wanna be
Just like Charlie Patton was

An after I heard about his death
After I got might near grown

I would have liked at that time
To met the one that caused
Him to have that dead
'Cause he was a great boy
And ah he used to play-a

A number by
'Old blue jumped the rabbit
And they runnin' one sold mile''

When the rabbit fell dead
He cried just like a child'
And you know I felt so good over
That I quit eatin' rabbit
'Cause them rabbit you know
Do holler when the dog
Catch up to 'em He could
Bit in a newborn baby
And they was screamin' and cry'nin'
And ah after I hear
Charlie Patton went on
An play that number
I 'cide I just stop eat rabbit
If had my dog catch 'em
And I take away from 'em
And so as I went on to say
You know Clarksdale
Is a little old small town that-a-way
A lot of good boys been in there
But in traveling through
Them little small town
Like that a good thing
I found a good man can do

Is take it easy and take
His time and don't fool with
Things that you don't have
Ah that's not worthwhile
You don't have time even
To fool around with
Just take life easy
'Cause ev'rything shine like gold
And gold you know
They's a lot of brass
You know shine like gold
And so Charlie Patton
Used to sing that song about
'Hitch up my buggy
And saddle up my black mare'
And I hear would just
Knock me off my feet
I was bare-feeted
Little bare-feeted boy too
And I like it so well after
I growed up the first
Record I put out when
I was comin' up about
'Downtown women
Sickin' them dogs on me'
I was one that kind-a compare with it
Ah I think I made a pretty
Good hit on that
But now I done forgot
I don't play it so much
But at that time he was
Goin' so good you know
And ah if he's got any friends or relative

His mother or father wherever might be
To hear me sayin' that
I just wanna let 'em know
That:
'Old remember
Never do be forgotten'
Things that then went on you know
So I gratulates to it
To all his friends
His cousins to ev'rything
I tried to be the second behind
Old Big Charlie Patton
He really did
And to tell you the truth
The first drank of whiskey
That I ever dranken
Charlie Patton give me a
Little in a spoon
He said 'You're too young
To drink too much whiskey'
But I'm 'onna give you enough
To know what it's about
And I still think about that
I wish I'd aks him to gimme the spoon

And so while we're here

I rather thinkin' of
Old time thing like that
We've got to take thing 'un
Of consideration
You know thing like that
Suppose to bring a man mind back
If you're goin' too fast
You're suppose to
Take a consideration
An settle down and think about
'Cause that's your
Best you can hardly get over
I just wish the day
I could shake Charlie Patton hand
