1
This is a song was sung back
2
In eighteen and ninety two
3
There was a terrible flood that year
4
People lost everything they had
5
Their crops, their live stock
6
That means their horses, their mules, cows
7
Goats and everything they had on their farm
8
And they would start crying
9
And singing this song
10
They tell me, Joe Turner been here and gone
11
Lord, they tell me, Joe Turner been here and gone
12
They tell me, Joe turner been here and gone
13
Then they would go out hunting rabbits
14
'Coons and 'possums
15
Anything they could catch
16
Sometimes they would catch something
17
Then again they didn't
18
And when they would come home
19
They would find flour meat and molasses
20
In their homes and they would know that
21
Joe Turner had been there and left food for them
22
And they would start crying
23
And singing this song
24
They tell me, Joe Turner been here and gone
25
Lord, they tell me, that Joe turner been here and gone
26
They tell me, Joe Turner been here and gone
27
Then they would start out looking for wood
28
And stuff to make a fire
29
And they would look in their yards
30
And they would find axes, wood
31
That Joe Turner had brought there for them
32
Then they would get happy
33
And start singing and crying this song
34
They would get happy
35
And do a little boogie woogie too
