I Will Turn Your Money Green (Alternate Take) Lyrics


When I was in Missouri
Would not let me be
Wouldn't rest content
'Till I came to Tennessee
If you follow me baby
I'll turn your money green
I show you more money
Rockerfeller ever seen
If the river was whiskey
Baby and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom
Lord and I'd never come up
Lord the woman I hate
I see her every day
But the woman I love
She's so far away
Talk about sweetheart
I declare I'm a honest man

Give my woman so many dollars
It broke her apron string
All she give me was trouble
I'm troubled all the time
I been troubled so long
Trouble don't worry my mind
I been down so long
It seem like up to me
Woman I love
She done quit poor me
What's the need of me hollering
What's the need of me crying
Woman I love
She don't pay me no mind

Furry Lewis (March 6, 1899 - September 14, 1981) was a blues guitarist from Memphis, Tennessee, USA. He was one of the first of the old-time blues musicians of the 1920s to be brought out of retirement by the folk blues revival of the 1960s. Furry's style of blues was in many ways typical of the songsters who operated in and around Memphis in the 1920s, for whom the value of a song was the story it told, and who tended to back their words with hypnotic repetitive riffs and subtle slide guitars. Furry Lewis's soft voice and quick slide work were particularly effective in this style.
