C. C. Rider    (1924)

C C Rider, see what you done, done
C C Rider, you see what you done, done
You C C Rider, you see what you done, done
You done made me love you and now your man done come

My home is on the water, I don't like no land at all
Home's on the water and I don't like no land at all
My home's on the water and I don't like no land at all
I'd rather be dead than to stay here and be your dog

So you C C Rider, see what you done, done
C C Rider, you see what you done, done
You C C Rider, you see what you done, done
You done made me love you and now your man done come

I'm goin' away babe, sure don't wanna go
Goin' away babe, but I sure don't wanna go
I'm goin' away babe, but I sure don't wanna go
When I'm leaving this town you will never see me no more

So you C C Rider, see what you done, done
C C Rider, you see what you done, done
You C C Rider, you see what you done, done
You done made me love you and now your man done come

My home's on the water and I don't like no land at all
Home's on the water and I don't like no land at all
My home's on the water and I don't like no land at all
So goodbye baby I'm tired of being your dog
