Lyrics:

Well, I jump this blues, I jump it all over town
Well, I jump this blues, well, I jump it all over town
I say, now you know this old, old Robert Brown playin' blues on down

Hope this be my mother, and my sisters and brothers, too
Hope this be my mother, and my sisters and brothers, too
I get to thinkin' about my mother sometime, don't know what to do

She might hear me singin' somewhere over the air
She might hear me singin' somewhere over the air
Well, this is dedicated to Addie Brown, she in old Mississippi somewhere

She in Vere, Mississippi, last place I knowed
She in Vere, Mississippi, last old place I knowed
Well, if you should spy Robert Brown's mama, I'm gon' soon be walkin' in your door

Well, I'm a day too late, I should-a have been home
Mama, a day too late, I should have done been home
Well, you know how the world tore up now, man just hardly can't get along

I'm gon' see my sister, gonna see my brother, too
I'm gon' see my sister, I'm gon' see my brothers, too
I been sad and lonesome and I don't know what to do
