Blind Lemon Jefferson – Oil Well Blues

Blind Lemon Jefferson – Oil Well Blues Lyrics

Artist: Blind Lemon Jefferson
Song: Oil Well Blues

Oh listen to that gas, how it’s blowin’ and quiverin’
It’s blowin’ just like an earthquake
Ain’t nothin’, mama, don’t be scared at all
It ain’t nothin’, mama, don’t be scared at all

There’s a long-distant well and it’s blowin’ in oil, that’s all
Ain’t nothin’ to hurt you, sugar, ain’t nothin’ that’s bad
Ain’t nothin’ to hurt you, honey, ain’t nothin’ bad
It’s the first oil well that your little boom ever had

I’m a long-distance driller, I’m wild-cattin’ the country through
I’m a long-distance driller, I’ve been wild-cattin’ the country through
Well, I’m stoppin’ wild-cattin’ if I bring in this well for you
I’m a mean oil well driller, been a driller since I’ve been a man

I’m a mean oil well driller, I’ve been a driller since I’ve been a man
And I don’t stop drillin’ till I strikes that Woodbine sand
I got a rеputation and they call me drillin’ Slim
I got a mean rеputation and they call me drillin’ Slim

But when I starts to drillin’, you hear women hollerin’, “too black bad”
