Pony Blues (2010 Remastered)
Charlie Patton
3:02Ain't nothing in the jungle That's any better than me There ain't nothing in the jungle That's any better than me I'm the baddest man ever came from Tennessee I slept with a panther Until just about the break of day I slept with a panther Until just about the break of day I grabbed a wildcat in a collar An' asked a tiger what he had to say I wear scorpions for my watch strap Rattlesnakes for my chain Wear a scorpion for my watch strap Rattlesnake for my chain I scare the gorilla And make him change his big ugly name I make a sea thief catch a freight train Make a flea grab the mail I make a sea thief catch a freight train I make a flea grab the mail I make a jumbo elephant Grab an aeroplane and sail I was paddling in a rowboat Drifting out in the sea I was paddling in a rowboat Drifting out in the sea I made a sea lion cooey Come back and shake glad hands with me Way down in the forest That's where I long to be Way down on the forest That's where I long to be 'Cause ain't nothing in the jungle That's any better than me
