Bukka White - Strange Place Blues Lyrics

I'm a stranger at this place
And I'm lookin' for my mother's grave
I'm a stranger at this place
And I'm lookin' for my mother's grave

Well, it seems like to me
Ooh, well some of us goin' to wail

I was at mother's grave
When they put my mother away
I was at mother's grave
When they put my mother away

And I can't find no one
Ooh, well, to take her place

After my mother was put away
I thought my wife would take her place
After my mother was put away
I thought my wife would take her place

I'll show you difference 'tween a mother and a wife
Well, my wife done throw me away

I wished I could find someone
To take my mother's place
I wished I could find someone
To take my mother's place

And if I can't find no one
Ooh, well, you'll find me at her grave

I'm standin' on my mother's grave
And I wished I could seen her face
I'm standin' on my mother's grave
And I wished I could seen her face

I'll be glad when that day comes
Ooh, well when it be to dive me away
