"I've Been Driving On Bald Mountain / Water Boy" lyrics - ODETTA

Well, I've been drivin' on Bald Mountain,
Well, I've been drivin' on Bald Mountain,
And I've been drivin' on Bald Mountain,
You know it's not my time, buddy, not my time.

Looka here, buddy, where'd ja get your learnin',
Looka here, buddy, where'd ja get your learnin',
Looka here, buddy, where'd ja get your learnin',
When you come here, buddy, when you come here?

Well, I got my learnin' on the Big Bend Tunnel,
I got my learnin' on the Big Bend Tunnel,
Got my learnin' on the Big Bend Tunnel,
You know it's not my time, buddy, not my time.

Well, every little thing that you see shinin',
Every little thing that you see shinin',
Every little thing that you see shinin',
Well, that ain't no gold, buddy, ain't no gold.

Well, I've been drivin' since Johnny was a baby,
Well, I've been drivin' since Johnny was a baby,
Well, I've been drivin' since Johnny was a baby,
You know it's not my time, buddy, not my time.

Well, I've been drivin' on Bald Mountain,
Well, I've been drivin' on Bald Mountain,
Well, I've been drivin' on Bald Mountain,
You know it's not my time, buddy, not my time.

Water Boy,
Where are you hidin'?
If you don't come right here,
Goin' tell your paw on you.

There ain't no hammer
On-a this mountain
That can ring like mine, boy,
That ring like mine.

I'm gonna whop this rock, boy,
From here to the Macon,
All the way to the jail, boy,

Little Jack of Diamonds,
Jack of Diamonds,
Know you of old, boy,
I know you of old.

You done robbed my pockets,
Robbed my pockets,
Silver and gold, boy,
Of silver and gold.

[Repeat verses 1-3]
