Lyrics of If i had possession over

(robert johnson)

If i had possession over judgement day,
If i had possession over judgement day,
Lord, the little woman i'm lovin' wouldn't have no right to pray.

And i went to the mountain, lookin' far as my eyes could see.
And i went to the mountain, lookin' far as my eyes could see.
Some other man got my woman and the 'a lonesome blues got me.

And i rolled and i tumbled and i cried the whole night long.
And i rolled and i tumbled and i cried the whole night long.
Boy, i woke up this mornin', my biscuit roller gone.

Had to fold my armes and i slowly walked away.
(spoken:) 'i didn't like the way she done.'
Had to fold my armes and i slowly walked away.
I said in my mind, yo' trouble gon' come someday.
Now run here, baby, set down on my knee.
Now run here, baby, set down on my knee.
I wanna tell you all about the way they treated me
