As far as singing goes, I wanted to do something new and have a style that wasn't too common. I was inspired by the records of Jimmie Rodgers, a white singer of that time. He was called the 'yodeling singer' because he would sing some parts in a head voice, like the Swiss yodelers. I took that idea and adapted it to my own abilities. I couln't do no yodelin' so I turned to howlin'. And it's done me just fine - Howlin' Wolf

Weave Room Blues - Dorsey Dixon -lyrics

Here's what I've got. Pretty sure of all of this BUT cannot decipher the third line in the last verse.  Any suggestions much appreciated!  Here is "Weave Room Blues":



INTRO 

Working in a weave room, fighting for my life
Trying to make a living for my kiddies and my wife
Some are needing clothing, and some are needing shoes
But I'm getting nothing but them weave room blues

I've got the blues, I've got the blues
I've got them awful weave-room blues
I've got the blues, the weave room blues

With your looms a-slamming, shuttles bouncing in the floor
And when you flag your fixer, you can see that he is sore
I'm trying to make a living, but I'm thinking I will lose
For I'm going crazy with them weave room blues

I've got the blues, I've got the blues
I've got them awful weave-room blues
I've got the blues, the weave room blues

The harness eyes are breaking with the doubles coming through
The devil's in your alley and he's coming after you
Our hearts are aching, let us take a little booze
For we're going crazy with them weave room blues

I've got the blues, I've got the blues
I've got them awful weave-room blues
I've got the blues, the weave room blues

Slam-outs, break-outs, knot-ups by the score
Cloth all rolled back and piled up in the floor
The batts are running into strings, they're hanging to your shoes
I'm simply dying with them weave room blues

I've got the blues, I've got the blues
I've got them awful weave room blues
I've got the blues, the weave room blues

OUTRO
