'cause I heard 'em walking in my room
I knowed it was the blues
'cause I heard 'em walking in my room
Lord, I wonder what's the matter
that the blues just won 't leave me alone
oh, blues, blues
Won't you let poor me be
oh, blues, blues
Won't you let poor me be
And let me have one day
out of the seven days a week
I'm goin' over Hamilton County,
get us another plow,
- Can I go with you?
- You stay here, help me out some,
That porch need cleanin',
Cut up them seed potatoes,
Don't spend all day daydreamin',
SIaughter that runt, and bleed 'im good,
I want chops for dinner,
So that's a no?
Next time,
OK, Oh,,,
Move it, Go on,
Go on, before you become ham hocks,
- Put my pig down,
- Not if you're givin' him to the foxes,
I'm tryin' to Iet him go, Put him down!
Go on, Go on,
Think you're bein' kind?
He'II be dead before morning,
I ain't kind in no kind of way,
give you hell for settin' them pigs free,
They dead, And I don't care
what my husband thinks, neither,
Husband?
Went to get a plow,
so I can help in the fields,
Lord, gal,
you got no more business behind a plow
than a hog got with a holiday,
Pretty Iady Iike you need to be treated
Iike a Iady every single day of your Iife,
My name is Joe Starks, I'm from Georgia,
Where you headin', Mr, Starks?
Down the road a ways, Some colored folks
got together, made their own town,
All-coloredtown?You...
Yeah, they called it Eatonville,
I'm plannin' to get there
while the town's still a baby,
Seem Iike a tall tale to me,
Maybe you need
to come with me and see it,
Can't,
Guess you better get goin',
If you change your mind,
tomorrow after the sun come up,
I'm gonna be waitin' on you,
Right down that road,
Mr, Starks!
Keep it,
What would you do if I was to Ieave you?
Leave me?
You but 1 7 years old,
You don't know nothing about the world,
I know enough,
You don't appreciate my good treatment,
do you?
No, it ain't that,
Janie,
I got 60 acres,
And I ain't no young man,
in no kind of way,
When I pass,
everything I got passes to you,
But what if I was to Ieave you?
What would you do?
Do what you got to do,
I'm goin' to sleep,
(Janie) Joe Starks had spoke
about change, And chance,
And even if he wasn't there waiting for me,
the change was bound to do me good,
Hey, girl!
(Janie) I thought I was gonna have
flower dust and springtime
sprinkled over everything,
Joe bought me all kinds
of pretty new clothes,
And I became Mrs, Joe Starks,
Can you fellows tell us
how far we at from Eatonville?
We hopin' to get there by nightfall,
Y'all in Eatonville now,
This is it?
This is it,
This don't Iook Iike
