Go Down Old Hannah

Lightnin’ Hopkins

[Chorus]
Go down, go down, old Hannah
Woah Lord, don't you rise no more
Go down, go down, Hannah
Hannah, please don't rise no more
If I don't see your face, I don't believe
Poor Lightnin' gonna have to fool with that hoe

[Verse 1]
You know I use to have to take my hoe
I used to have to walk a ton row
I had to chip every little piece of grass
That I see begin to grow
And I got mad one morning
Chopped everything I see
Chopped at a man, I swear
That man turned around and chopped me

[Chorus]
Go down, go down, Hannah
Please don't rise no more
I believe if you don't rise
Poor Lightnin' won't have to fool with this hoe

[Verse 2]
You know I remember times
I was walkin' a ton row
And everybody you see on the shoulder
They had a hoe
But you know that there
Meant you got to chop 'til the sun go down
That's where you'll see everybody
Choppin' cotton willow 'round

[Verse 3]
They say that if it wasn't for the sun, we couldn't see
I said "No, let the sun go down
And the moon shine on me"
That's a light, it's lightin' ride
I'd rather that time than to have it in the daytime
Of course it's better at night
I wouldn't have to chop no cotton
Or neither pull no corn
And then if a mule start runnin' away at the woods
You could just say "go 'head on"

[Chorus]
Go down, old Hannah
Oh Lord, don't rise no more
Go down, go down, old Hannah
No, don't you rise no more
You know poor Lightnin' done got tired
Walkin' a ton row with his hoe

[Outro]
You know my hand is sore from the hoe
But I used to chop cotton on branches
And all everywhere
And they call it brazos
But I was in one bottom on a dig
I wasn't just exactly payin' attention
But I was a second the bar
Heh, and uh, I'm tellin' you
Time is kind of hard to you
