This is a difficult song to transcribe. Has anyone some insight on the missing lyrics? Here is "216 Blues":
2.16 Blues Blanche Johnson
The big Kate Adams, done like the 'Bama Jane
The big Kate Adams, done like the 'Bama Jane
It takes on water just like a passenger train
My man is long and tall
Shape like a willow tree
My man is long and tall
Shape like a willow tree
I believe to my soul,
He put those jinx on me
Two sixteen that carried my man away
Two sixteen that carried my man away
That's alright, he'll come back someday
The train he rides don't burn no coal at all
The train he rides don't burn no coal at all
Don't burn nothing but 'homa black cedar???
I thought I heard that two sixteen whistle blow
I thought I heard that two sixteen whistle blow
I wonder what's the matter?
It never been late before
