Lyrics for If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day

If I had possession over Judgement Day If I had possession over Judgment Day Lord, the little woman I'm lovin' wouldn't have no right to pray And I went to the mountain lookin' far as my eyes could see And I went to the mountain lookin' far as my eyes could see Some other man got my woman and the lonesome blues got me And I rolled and I tumbled and I cried the whole night long And I rolled and I tumbled and I cried the whole night long Boy, I woke up this mornin' my biscuit roller gone Had to fold my arms and I slowly walked away I didn't like the way she'd run Had to fold my arms and I slowly walked away I said in my mind, "You're trouble gone come someday" Now run here, baby set down on my knee Now run here, baby set down on my knee I wanna tell you all about the way they treated me
