recording 1968 
from 
A Man And His Blues (Vanguard VMD-79272) 
What can a poor man do, you know when the blues keep bothering him around 
What can a poor man do, you know when the blues keep bothering him around 
Give him a half pint of good liquor, and sit down and drink it all down 
You know, sometimes I feel, I feel like drinkin' me some gasoline 
You know, sometimes I feel, I feel like drinkin' me some gasoline 
Strikin' me a match and blow myself up in steam 
I feel I'm gonna move on back down south, 
you know where the water tastes like cherry wine 
I feel I'm gonna move on back down south, 
you know where the water tastes like cherry wine 
Because this crap of whiskey and water tastes to me like turpentine
