robert johnson - hell hound on my trail lyrics

Loading...

i got to keep movin’, i’ve got to keep movin’
blues fallin’ down like hail, blues fallin’ down like hail

umm mmm mmm mmm
blues fallin’ down like hail, blues fallin’ down like hail

and the days keeps on worryin’ me,
there’s a h-llhound1 on my trail,
h-llhound on my trail, h-llhound on my trail

if today was christmas eve
if today was christmas eve,
and tomorrow was christmas day

if today was christmas eve,
and tomorrow was christmas day
(spoken: aow, wouldn’t we have a time, baby?)
all i would need my little sweet rider just,
to p-ss the time away, huh huh, to p-ss the time away

you sprinkled hot foot powder, mmm
mmm, around my door, all around my door
you sprinkled hot foot powder, mmm,
all around your daddy’s door, hmm hmm hmm
it keep me with ramblin’ mind, rider
every old place i go, every old place i go

i can tell, the wind is risin’,
the leaves tremblin’ on the tree,
tremblin’ on the tree
i can tell, the wind is risin’,
leaves tremblin’ on the tree
hmm hmm mmm mmm
all i need’s my little sweet woman,
and to keep my company, hmmm hmm, hey hey
my company

note 1: according to the webster online dictionary a h-llhound is a “dog of h-ll,
named cerberus in greek and roman mythology, the three-headed dog guarding the
gate of hades”. it will probably stay a secret for all times what robert exactly
meant by the h-llhound, but the image of the hounds of h-ll, coming to seize
sinners, was often used in southern churches.
