Well I know my dog,
Anywhere I hear him bark.
Well I know my rider,
If I feel her in the dark.

Ain't it cold for you, mother,
When you say you don't love me?
Well that's alright woman,
You gonna need my help someday.

You didn't say you didn't love me,
When you were stretched out across my bed.
You're drinkin' moonshine whisky,
And talking all outta your head.

Ain't but two kinda people,
In this world that I can't stand.
Well that's a lying woman,
And a cheatin' monkey man.

Well, I feel like snapping,
My pistol in your face.
I'm gonna let the graveyard,
Be your resting place.

Well I know my dog,
Anywhere I hear him bark.
I know my rider,
If I feel her in the dark.

    General Comment:Yeah Fulton Allen i think was his real name, there story behind the origins of his name "Blind boy". One say that he was blinded by illness the other is that his wife caught him cheating and threw acid in his eyes and blinded him. Also throughly amazing song in the hands of Rory.

    General Comment:Yes, Jordy, this song was originally by "Blind Boy" Fuller, who was a blues musician. That's about all I know about Fuller, but Rory always seemed to take a shine to early blues music, rather than the modern blues. For example, listen to his rendition of the Muddy Waters song "Can't Be Satisfied" on youtube, and the re-make of "On the Western Plains" off his Montreux DVD. But that's just to name a couple of these, there's many more out there.
