How low can you be? When you have to
"look up at down", you're about as low as
you can get. Big Bill wrote this and recorded it
in Chicago on 10 June, 1940 for Okeh. This is
from the CBS Realm Jazz Series LP "Big Bill's Blues".
I'm just like an old rooster,
out way out here on a hill
I'm just like an old rooster,
out way out here on a hill
People I'm done scratchin',
ooh Lord Big Bill is just tryin' to live
I'm just like Joe's turkey,
I can't do nothing but bauble(?)
I'm so poor baby,
I have to lean up against the fence to garble(?)
Yeah now baby, gal,
I believe I change town
Yeah I'm down so low baby, ooh Lord girl
I declare I'm lookin' up at down
The men in the mine baby
They all lookin' down at me
Gal I'm down so low baby
I'm low as I can be
Yeah now baby
Girl I'm down as I can be
Gal I'm down so low baby
Ooh Lord everybody's lookin' down
on poor me
Everything I get a hold of baby
It goes away like snow in June
If I get a chance now baby again
I'm goin' up to the moon
Yeah now baby
Yeah I believe I change town
Yeah poor me down so low baby
Big Bill is lookin' up at down
