Florence Stamp & Group of Girls, Satisfied. Recorded by Alan Lomax. (The Land Where The Blues Began)
I aint never been,
Satisfied,
I never been,
Satisfied,
Went down in,
Satisfied,
New brown field,
Satisfied,
Rattlesnake bit me,
Satisfied,
On my heel,
Satisfied,
That didn't make me,
Satisfied,
I aint never been,
Satisfied,
Been to the River,
Satisfied,
Been baptized,
Satisfied,
That didn't make me,
Satisfied,
That didn't make me,
Satisfied,
I never been,
Satisfied,
Momma can't make me,
Satisfied,
Pappa can't make me,
Satisfied,
