After listening to much historical folk blues this sits amongst them.

I saw him play this last year the song still haunts me thanks for uploading it

Same here man, I only found this song just yesterday after seeing him last year in Rotterdam. He finished his set with this song and i recorded the final part on my phone. For a long time that was the only version i had. Two days ago i found both the lyrics and an even slightly better version of this song. Here's the link to that video.: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJCTeYupi76Wack

Jyrki, thank for posting these! I feel like I've got a new music obsession.

Oh look here baby, what have I done That caused you to treat me so You done caused me to weep You done caused me to moan You done caused me to lose my home I done been to the east I done been to the west I done been this whole wide world round only one place I have not been But I'll be there before the sun go down Sometimes I wished I had not been born Or died when I was young I'd a never would have kissed your red rosy cheeks Or, heard your lying tongue You done told me more lies than them stars in the skies And you'll never get to heaven when you die I swear You'll never get to heaven when you die I feel like jumping God knows I do From the treetop to the ground Got a one say she love me and then had my child Say she don't want me around Oh lordy me oh lordy my What's gonna become of me I'm 900 miles from my wife and my child Lordy what's going to become of me You might as well go get you a hard shooting pistol Come blow out my brain I'd rather be dead and in my grave Than to be in all this trouble I'm in I've been a hobo, I've been a bum Get some cornbread save me some I ain't never been so hungry in my life I swear I ain't never been so hungry in my life Have mercy on me Lord I wonder What's gonna become of me There's a graveyard you see over yonder hill It's a terrible old lonesome place They lay you down in that cold cold ground And they throw dirt in your face I done been to the east They done brought me to the west I done been the whole wide world round That's the only place I have not been But I'll be there before the sun go down Oh I wonder what's gonna become of me
