文本歌词

I remember the time
Just before the war
Colored man used to hunt
Him out chips and straw
But now bless God
Old master's dead
Colored man plumb fool
About feather bed
Eee hee my gal Nancy
Over the road I'm bound to go
I went uptown goin' to shriek and howl
Think I heard my baby cry
Eee wee mmm honey Oh
Lord I'm bound to go
Wee eee eee baby Oh
Lord I'm bound to go
I went downtown
Didn't mean no harm
Police grab me right by my arm
Soon I began to pitch
I began to rear
Feel like strollin' in the air
Ooo woo ooo baby
Over the road I'm bound to go
I went downtown doing my best
Find the boys that stole the vest
Went on around
About the Court Square
Find the boys that done stole the coat
Hee hee eee baby
Oh Lord I'm bound to go
Now I knew Joe Louis was in the stand
Had them law books in his hands
I began to pitch pull out a writ
Began to read to me
Said ''Nigger
You been stealing in the first degree ''
Eee eee eee baby
Over the road I'm bound to go
Ev' old Britt and Moses Brown
Said ''I'm going across Cripple Creek
Go into town ''
Ooo ooo ooo baby
Over the road I'm bound to go
