“Carryin' Sacks”
Description
"I'm goin' up the river to carry them sacks (x3), I'll have your lap full of dollars when I get back." "I asked my sugar for a little kiss..." "You go back up the river and carry some sacks, (x3), You can get my kisses when the boat gets back"
Notes
A ballad in miniature, though it really is more of a blues, and I suspect no two singers would do it quite the same way. - RBW
