"gotta keep moving
blues falling down like hail"
It was said that Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at a crossroads, this line probably means that he's running from the devil.
The "Christmas" lines mean that he wants to spend time with a special girl, perhaps?
The "Hot Food Powder" could mean Salt around his door, preventing the Devil to enter the house. "It keep me with ramblin' mind, rider. Every old place I go" means that the devil is always around, waiting to kill him. It always keeps his mind "Ramblin'" because he can't always bring salt everywhere!
"I can tell the wind is risin'. Leaves tremblin' on the tree." line means that the Devil is approaching, causing a stir outside!
"All I need's my little sweet woman to keep my company." means that he wants the spend the final moments of his life, with his little sweet women.

@NoahRose Thank you, this was the level of interpretation required for an artist of Robert Johnsons' history and demograpic.
