Song made famous by the late, great Big Bill Broonzy, also sung in various versions by Leadbelly and even the Grateful Dead. Also known as easy rider (from which the movie got the name), the title was probably a slang term first for the guitar of a traveling bluesman, strapped to his back, and later for a loose woman or his lover, also usually on her back.

chorus: You C C Rider, see what you done done
C C Rider, you see what you done done
You C C Rider, you see what you done done
You done made me love you and now your man don't come

My home is on the water, I don't like no land at all
Home's on the water and I don't like no land at all
My home's on the water and I don't like no land at all
I'd rather be dead than to stay here and be your dog

chorus

I'm goin' away baby, sure don't wanna go
Goin' away baby, but I sure don't wanna go
I'm goin' away baby, but I sure don't wanna go
When I leave this time, you never see me no more
