big-joe-williams-2

Peach orchard mama,
You swore wasn’t nobody gotten near yo’ peaches but me.
Peach orchard mama-ooo,
Swore wasn’t nobody got near yo’ peaches but me.
Well, you want yo’ women work in your orchard
When I keep your orchard clean.

You done got me to the place.
I hate to see that evenin’ sun go down.
(Play it a long time, boys). Yeah, man.
I hate to see that evenin’ sun go down.
Well, when I get up in the mornin’,
Woo-well, Peach orchard mama
She’s on my mind.

Got a man to buy yo’ groceries
And another Joe gonna pay your rent.
You got a man to buy yo’ groceries
And another Joe gonna pay your rent.
Well, you got me workin’ in yo’ orchard,
You-ooo well-well, and bring you ev’ry cent.

(Play the one. I wonder what maw-wee they wan’ play ?)

Sometimes she makes me happy
And again, she makes me cry.
Sometimes she makes me happy
And again, she makes me cry.
Yes, again I want a peach orchard mama
Hee-well-well, I wish to God that she would die.

(Play a little while).
