Blind Lemon Jefferson - Oil Well Blues lyrics

Artist: Blind Lemon Jefferson

album: The Blues History - Blind Lemon Jefferson


(Oh listen to that gas,
How it's blowin' and quiverin'. It's blowin' just like an earthquake)
Ain't nothin', mama, don't be scared at all
It ain't nothin', mama, don't be scared at all
There's a long-distant well and it's blowin' in oil that's all
Ain't nothin' to hurt you, sugar, ain't nothin' that's bad
Ain't nothin' to hurt you, honey, ain't nothin' bad
It's the first oil well that your little boom ever had
I'm a long-distance driller, I'm wild-cattin' the country through
I'm a long-distance driller,
And I've been wild-cattin' the country through
Well, I'm stoppin' wild-cattin' if I bring in this well for you
I'm a mean oil well driller, been a driller since I've been a man
I'm a mean oil well driller, I've been a driller since I've been a man
And I don't stop drillin' till I strikes that Woodbine sand
I got a reputation and they call me drillin' Slim
I got a mean reputation and they call me drillin' Slim
But when I starts to drillin',
You hear women hollerin', "Too black bad"
