If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day

Lyrics for If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day

If I had possession, over judgment 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' as far as my eyes could see And I went to the mountain, lookin' as far as my eyes would see Some other man got my woman, and these 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', mycuit roller gone Had to fold my arms and I, slowly walked away (spoken: I didn't like the way she done) Had to fold my arms and I, slowly walked away I said in my mind, "Yo' trouble gon' come some day1" 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 Note: this is another version of the Mississippi piece often known, though mostly with very differing lyrics, as Rollin' And Tumblin' (Rollin' And Tumblin', by McKinley Morganfield a.k.a. Muddy Waters & Rolling And Tumbling, by Elmore James), in many versions it's also known as Brownville Blues; Note 1: alternatively "I felt in my mind, your trouble gon' come some day" instead of "I said in my mind, "Yo, trouble gon' come some day" ".
