| Album | Booker's Guitar |
| I’m buildin’ a new home ‘cross the county line (2x) | |
| Up on a high hill where the view’s so fine | |
| Down in the lowlands water taste like turpentine (2x) | |
| I’m goin’ up the country where it taste liked cherry wine | |
| I made a piece of money, but I won’t say how (2x) | |
| Bought my own forty acres – | |
| My own mule an’ breakin’ plough | |
| Bought my own forty acres – | |
| Don’t have to scrape an’ bow | |
| I’m buildin’ a new home …. | |
| I heard a voice talkin’ like a radio in my head (2x) | |
| I’m about to tell you just what it said: | |
| I’ll put your feet on solid ground, by an’ by (2x) | |
| When the river gets to risin’ you’ll be high an’ dry | |
| I’m buildin’ a new home ‘cross the county line (2x) | |
| Up on a high hill where the view’s so fine | |
| Up on a high hill – leave this ol’ shack behind |
| I' m buildin' a new home ' cross the county line 2x | |
| Up on a high hill where the view' s so fine | |
| Down in the lowlands water taste like turpentine 2x | |
| I' m goin' up the country where it taste liked cherry wine | |
| I made a piece of money, but I won' t say how 2x | |
| Bought my own forty acres | |
| My own mule an' breakin' plough | |
| Bought my own forty acres | |
| Don' t have to scrape an' bow | |
| I' m buildin' a new home . | |
| I heard a voice talkin' like a radio in my head 2x | |
| I' m about to tell you just what it said: | |
| I' ll put your feet on solid ground, by an' by 2x | |
| When the river gets to risin' you' ll be high an' dry | |
| I' m buildin' a new home ' cross the county line 2x | |
| Up on a high hill where the view' s so fine | |
| Up on a high hill leave this ol' shack behind |
