about

song documentary inspired by times in Clarksdale witnessing ghosts of the past.

lyrics

Swear I saw Charlie Patton
Running down the street
Clicking his heels tapping his feet
He was picking up a brand-new automobile
He was goin downtown to close the deal

Swear I saw Willie Brown running down the road
Looking for Son House they had a job and it was time to go
They were heading out down Highway 49
It was getting late and they were running out of time

But all they had was six strings in a dream
And a big old river in between
Chicago and a lifeline
With nothing more than six strings and dream

Swear I saw howling wolf staring at the moon
By the light of that old tin roof
Lit up the road and showed the way
To a better life and better days

That all they had was six strings in a dream
And a big old river in between
Chicago and a lifeline
With nothing more than six strings and dream
