lyrics

(Adapted from the Blind Lemon Jefferson original)

What you gonna do when they send your man to war?
What you gonna do, send your man to war?
What you gonna do when they send your man to war?"
Gonna drink muddy water, gonna sleep in a hollow log

What you gonna do when the coffin gets to your door?
What you gonna do when his coffin gets to your door?
What you gonna do when his coffin gets to your door?
Gonna take a picture and hang it on the parlor wall

What you gonna do when the soldiers get to your town?
What you gonna do when the soldiers get to your town?
What you gonna do when the soldiers get to your town?
Rapin’ and pilligin’ and burning your whole house down

What you gonna do when your leaders ask you for more?
What you gonna do when your leaders ask you for more?
What you gonna do when your leaders ask you for more?
Put your hand in your pocket and hang your head down low

What you gonna do when they send your man to war?
What you gonna do, send your man to war?
What you gonna do when they send your man to war?"
Gonna drink muddy water, gonna sleep in a hollow log
