If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day

If I had possession, over judgment day

If I had possession, over judgment day

Lord, the little woman

I'm lovin' wouldn't, have no right to pray

And I went to the mountain, lookin' as far as my eyes could see

And I went to the mountain, lookin' as far as my eyes would see

Some other man got my woman, and these lonesome blues got me

And I rolled and

I tumbled and

I, cried the whole night long

And I rolled and

I tumbled and

I, cried the whole night long

Boy, I woke up this mornin', my biscuit roller gone

Had to fold my arms and

I, slowly walked away(spoken: I didn't like the way she done)

Had to fold my arms and

I, slowly walked away

I said in my mind, "Yo' trouble gon' come some day1"

Now run here, baby, set down on my knee

Now run here, baby, set down on my knee

I wanna tell you all about the way they treated me

Mississippi piece often known, though mostlywith very differing lyrics, as

Tumblin' (Rollin' And Tumblin', byMcKinley Morganfield a.k.a. Muddy Waters & Rolling And Tumbling, by ElmoreJames), in many versions it's also known as

Brownville

Blues;Note 1: alternatively "I felt in my mind, your trouble gon' come some day"instead of "I said in my mind, "

Yo, trouble gon' come some day" ".
