Lazy Day Today

Schlepping around, not much going on, listening to the random shuffle. . .

Answer Key at Harp and Sword.

1. "Crosseyed Cat" Muddy Waters

Yeah I'm so sorry, I got to leave my woman alone
Yeah I'm so sorry, I got to leave my woman alone
Well you know she got a crosseyed cat,
Livin' without that man in her home

2. Our very own Jen scores on "Overjoyed" by Stevie Wonder

Over time, I've been building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
I've gone much too far for you now to say
That I've got to throw my castle away

3. JerryN gets "Red Molly (1952 Vincent Black Lightning)" by Richard Thompson

Said Red Molly to James that's a fine motorbike
A girl could feel special on any such like
Said James to Red Molly, well my hat's off to you
It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952

4. WooHoo! bcjacques finally gets one! "Small Change" Tom Waits

Small change got rained on with his own thirty-eight,
And nobody flinched down by the arcade
And the marquees weren't weeping, they went stark-raving mad,
And the cabbies were the only ones that really had it made

5. Gatun Lake picks up on Son House (and yes, I agree with you that Son had the definitive preaching blues voice, also the Cassandra Wilson's version has some killer ass guitar work, wasn't me, wish it was) "Death Letter"

I got a letter this mornin, how do you reckon it read?
It said, "Hurry, hurry, yeah, your love is dead"
I got a letter this mornin, I say how do you reckon it read?
You know, it said, "Hurry, hurry, how come the gal you love is dead?"
So, I grabbed up my suitcase, and took off down the road
When I got there she was layin on a coolin' board
I grabbed up my suitcase, and I said and I took off down the road
I said, but when I got there she was already layin on a coolin' board
Well, I walked up right close, looked down in her face
Said, the good ol' gal got to lay here 'til the Judgment Day
I walked up right close, and I said I looked down in her face
I said the good ol' gal, she got to lay here 'til the Judgment Day
Looked like there was 10,000 people standin' round the buryin' ground
I didn't know I loved her 'til they laid her down
Looked like 10,000 were standin' round the buryin' ground
You know I didn't know I loved her 'til they damn laid her down
Lord, have mercy on my wicked soul
I wouldn't mistreat you baby, for my weight in gold
I said, Lord, have mercy on my wicked soul
You know I wouldn't mistreat nobody, baby, not for my weight in gold
Well, I folded up my arms and I slowly walked away
I said, "Farewell honey, I'll see you on Judgment Day"
Ah, yeah, oh, yes, I slowly walked away
I said, "Farewell, farewell, I'll see you on the Judgment Day"
You know I went in my room, I bowed down to pray
The blues came along and drove my spirit away
I went in my room, I said I bowed down to pray
I said the blues came along and drove my spirit away
You know I didn't feel so bad, 'til the good ol' sun went down
I didn't have a soul to throw my arms around
I didn't feel so bad, 'til the good ol' sun went down
You know, I didn't have nobody to throw my arms around
I loved you baby, like I love myself
You don't have me, you won't have nobody else
I loved you baby, better than I did myself
I said now if you don't have me, I didn't want you to have nobody else
You know, it's hard to love someone that don't love you
Ain't no satisfaction, don't care what in the world you do
Yeah, it's hard to love someone that don't love you
You know it don't look like satisfaction, don't care what in the world you do
Got up this mornin', just about the break of day
A-huggin' the pillow where she used to lay
Got up this mornin', just about the break of day
A-huggin' the pillow where my good gal used to lay
Got up this mornin', feelin' round for my shoes
You know, I must-a had them old walkin' blues
Got up this mornin', feelin' round for my shoes
Yeah, you know bout that, I must-a had them old walkin' blues
You know, I cried last night and all the night before
Gotta change my way a livin', so I don't have to cry no more
You know, I cried last night and all the night before
Gotta change my way a livin', you see, so I don't have to cry no more
Ah, hush, thought I heard her call my name
If it wasn't so loud and so nice and plain
Ah, yeah
Mmmmmm
Well, listen, whatever you do
This is one thing, honey, I tried to get along with you
Yes, no tellin' what you do
I done everything I could, just to try and get along with you
Well, the minutes seemed like hours, hours they seemed like days
It seemed like my good, old gal outta done stopped her low-down ways
Minutes seemed like hours, hours they seemed like days
Seems like my good, old gal outta done stopped her low-down ways
You know, love's a hard ol' fall, make you do things you don't wanna do
Love sometimes leaves you feeling sad and blue
You know, love's a hard ol' fall, make you do things you don't wanna do
Love sometimes make you feel sad and blue

6. Maggie Jo the Child scores with "They Can't Take That Away From Me" Fred Astaire

The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No they can't take that away from me

7. I'm giving Myrtle June and Rosali both full points for recognising the Isley Brothers
"For The Love of You" I love the Isleys. Ernie Isley was one of the most outstanding soul guitarists ever. He was instrumental in bringing Jimi Hendrix along as a professional.

Driftin’ on a memory
Ain’t no place I’d rather be
Than with you, yeah
Lovin’ you, well, well, well

8. Peter VE gets "In My Hour of Darkness" although this performance was by the composer,
my eternal pal and object of my longest crush.

Emmylou Harris

Once I knew a young man went driving through the night
Miles and miles without a word, with just his high-beam lights
Who'd have ever thought they'd build such a deadly Denver bend
To be so strong, to take as long as it would till the end

9. And Maggie also points for "Dear Abby" John Prine (and yes, he probably did do this on The Smothers Brothers) their head writer Mason Williams was a big promoter of John Prine.

Dear Abby, Dear Abby ...My feet are too long
My hair's falling out and my rights are all wrong
My friends they all tell me that I've no friends at all
Won't you write me a letter, Won't you give me a call
Signed Bewildered

10. tanbark gets Buck Owen's beautiful "Streets of Bakersfield" I was listening to Dwight Yoakum's career launching remake.

I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else
Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody
Just want a chance to be myself

As Promised, Other, Reader's Editions will Follow

But, this one's mine. . .couldn't help it, there were some beauties playing this morning.

1. "Take It Easy, Greasy" Li'l Johnson

Take it easy greasy, love me 'till I get enough
Take it easy greasy, now baby don't you get so rough
Hug me honey, squeeze me tight
You need not hurry 'cos you got all night, so
Take it easy greasy, love me 'till I get enough (I got to have it)
Love me till I get enough

2. Stephen T recognised "Before the Deluge" Jackson Browne - Myrtle was only six minutes behind, but that's the game.

Some of them were dreamers
And some of them were fools
Who were making plans and thinking of the future
With the energy of the innocent

3. deeluzon gets not only Ella Fitzgerald but Rogers and Hart for "Have You Met Miss Jones?"

It happened
I felt it happen
I was awake
I wasn't blind

4. Bunter Points with "When the Man Comes Around" Johnny Cash (one of his very finest)

There's a man going around taking names and he decides
Who to free and who to blame every body won't be treated
Quite the same there will be a golden ladder reaching down
When the man comes around

5. Gatun Lake identifies "Tumbling Dice" a Rolling Stones song, but for this I was listening to a soundboard bootleg of Linda Ronstadt backed by some of my snottiest slide guitar work.

Women think I'm tasty, but they're always tryin' to waste me
And make me burn the candle right down,
But baby, baby,
I don't need no jewels in my crown.

6. "Tipitina" Professor Longhair

Hey Loberta, oh poor Loberta
Girl you hear me callin' you
Well you're three times seven, baby
Knows what you want to do

7. Shaun scores with "I'm Sick, Ya'll" by the man, Otis Redding

Standin' outside, y'all
It's raining, children
Gettin' soaking wet
And it's raining, y'all

8. Myrtle June did score first with "All Through the Night" Cyndi Lauper.

All through the night
I'll be awake and I'll be with you
All through the night
This precious time when time is new

9. Cowboy Diva gets "Gumboots" by Paul Simon

I was having this discussion
In a taxi heading downtown,
Rearranging my position
On this friend of mine who had
A little bit of a breakdown

10. Sean Carrol picks "Every Grain of Sand" a Dylan song, my version is another live bootleg (often musicians will have the sound techs make a live recording, it's like watching game film) done by Emmylou Harris. I'm on guitar, monsterously electric guitar.

In the time of my confession,
in the hour of my deepest need
When the pool of tears beneath my feet
flood every newborn seed

The Game!


Answer Key at Harp and Sword

1. Jude gets "Oh Mary, Don't You Weep" version here was from Bruce Springsteen. I have a very early version by The Reverend Gary Davis.

Moses stood on the Red Sea shore
Smack that water with a 2x4
Pharoh's army been drownded
Oh, Mary don't you weep.

2. Myrtle Hussain June Scores big on "Keep Your Lamp Trimmed and Burning"
'cept it's the Reverend Gary Davis, not Steve Earle, although I bet he could sing the living shit out of this one. I am shocked, shocked, that she didn't guess number 7. I figured that one was right in her wheelhouse.

Brother, don't you stop prayin'
Brother!
Brother don't you stop prayin'
Because our work is almost done.

3. "Sub-Mission" The Sex Pistols point to Patrick

I'm on a submarine mission for you baby
I feel the way you were going
I picked you up on my tv-screen
I feel your undercurrent flowing

4. "You Came A Long Way From St. Louis" Peggy Lee, D. Potter Scores!

You came a long way from St. Louis, you climbed the ladder of success,
I've seen the town and country cars that were parked out in front of your fancy address.
You came a long way from St. Louis, you broke a lotta hearts between,
I've seen a gang of gloomy gals who were doing alright till you came on the scene.

5. "Zombie Jamboree" Kingston Trio, Rockapella, King Sonny, The Ledbetters, a whole raft of folks did this one. I was listening to Harry Belafonte's Point D. Potter again.

Zombie jamboree taking place in the New York cemetary
Zombie jamboree taking place Long Island cemetary
Zombies from all parts of the island come, some of them are great calypsonians
The lead singer make him rhyme and all of them zombies jump in time

6. Carrie Newcomer "A Mean Kind of Justice" Carrie is an amazing talent. She writes compelling songs and sings them with clarity and conviction. I'd play with her just for the hell of it. (although union rules and my agent make me charge scale)

There's a ring around the moon,
There's a chill in the air.
There's a mean kind of justice,
Coming down coming down.

7. "Leavin' Louisiana in the Broad Daylight" Oak Ridge Boys

Mary took to running with a traveling man,
Left her Momma cryin' with her head in her hands
Such a sad case, so broken hearted
She said "Momma I got to go, got to get out of here"

8. "I Don't Care" the Immortal Ramones. . .Sean Carrol scores.

I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
About this world

9. "For You" Bruce Springsteen "Greetings From Asbury Park" point amuseinc

Princess cards she sends me with her regards
barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hard
Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her Cheshire smile. I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted.

10. Phoenix Rising scores on "Gospel Plow" my version was Sweet Honey in the Rock, an amazing group. They do some astonishing harmonies.


Mary wore three links of chain,
Every link was Jesus name,
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on,
Oh, Lord, Oh, Lord,
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on.


UPDATE:

I'm scheduled to play at my Mom's church on Sunday. I'm backing a boy soprano from Mexicali on the harp while he sings Gunoud's Ave Maria. If you've never heard a boy soprano singing, you're missing out on one of the absolutely purest musical tones in existence. I'm looking forward to it.

Great Job Ya'll.

Interfaith Gathering - Imperial Valley Press Photo - Todd Krainin

All Faiths Gathered Last Night (including some of us No faiths)

We sang, we listened, we ate, we talked.

In other words, we acted like Americans. The highlight for me was when an Iraqi-American engineer said "I'm not objecting to American policy, I'm criticising it. As an American, that's my right. We must be able to agree about that."

On to the game. . .answer key, as always, will be up at Harp and Sword


*bonus feature* I have a great YouTube on deck. As soon as somebody guesses the first song, I'll put it up.
Nobody got "Galway Girl" by Steve Earle.

this video shows what you're missing.




1.
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk of a day -i-ay-i-ay
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk of a fine soft day -i-ay-i-ay
And I ask you, friend, whats a fella to do?
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue.

2. U.S. Blues named "If I Had My Way (Sampson and Delilah)" by The Blind Reverend Gary Davis
(trivia note: in the 50's during a civil rights demonstration in washington dc, in front of the capitol building, The Rev. Davis was arrested by the police because of the refrain of this song:

If I had my way, if I had my way
If I had my way in this wicked world
I would tear this building down. . .

they said it was a terrorist threat.)

You can read about Sampson, you can read about his birth
He was the strongest man that ever walked the earth.
One day Old Sampson was a walkin' around
And he spied a jawbone just a laying on the ground

3. Nobody got "Barflies at the Beach" Louis Prima (that's no surprise at all)

All right all you Swing Cats, let's try somethin' new
Drag your elbows off the Bar and your can from the old bar stool
There's a place called the Ocean probably heard about it in school
They ain't got no Martinis there but man, its really cool

4. biffy56 - Great call - David Bromberg "Bullfrog Blues" Bromberg is a player's player. Most guitar slingers would kill for chops like his

Did'ja ever wake up with bullfrogs on your, bullfrogs on your, I mean, mind?
Did'ja ever wake up with bullfrogs on your mind?
Well, ya know good people that's a sure sign,
You got bullfrogs on your mind.

5. Amuseinc gets partial credit for recognising this as a Gram Parson's Song, full point still available for the title Myrtle Hussain June gets all the points. Emmylou Harris singing Gram Parson's "She"
She, she came from the land of the cotton
A land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
And she, she worked and she slaved so hard
A big ol' field was her backyard

6. "Small Fry" Hoagy Charmicheal

Small fry, hangin' round the poolroom
Small fry, you should be in the schoolroom
My my. My my, what's in that cigarette?
You ain't growed up all high and mighty yet.

7. Rosali scores first! Amy Winehouse - "Fuck Me Pumps"

When you walk in the bar, and you dressed like a star,
Rockin' your fuck me pumps.
And the men notice you, with your Gucci bag crew,
Can't tell who he's lookin' to.

8. U.S. Blues was also close enough to "Stag O'Lee" Mississippi John Hurt

Might have been a rainy mornin', might have been a rainy night
Stag O'Lee and Billy Lyons had them a terrible fight
And he's a bad man
Mean, cruel Stag O'Lee

(to make this one semi fair you should guess whose version this is too)

9. "This Is A Rebel Song" Sinead O'Connor

I love you my hard Irishman
Your rage is like a fist in my womb
Can't you forgive what you think I've done
And love me - I'm your woman

10. "Night Rider's Lament" written by Micheal Burton (not Ian Tyson but no points off) the version I was listening to was by Jerry Jeff Walker - Picked by Mrytle Hussain June (I'm surprised you didn't guess #1 too)

One night while I was out ridin'
Graveyard shift midnight till dawn
The moon was bright, for my reading light
For a letter from an old friend back home.

This Is What's Been Playing While I Work on the Doughnuts Post

There has also been a lot of opera and classical stuff bubbling up. I'm glossing over them in order to cut right into the lyric things. "Macbeth" by Verdi, and "Der Zieberflute" by Mozart have been represented, along with the "Waltz Cycle" of Chopin. Answer key is up at Harp and Sword

1. Robert Johnson "Terraplane Blues" named by derrick
And I feel so lonesome you hear me when I moan
When I feel so lonesome you hear me when I moan
Who been drivin' my Terraplane for you since I been gone
I'd said I flash your lights, mama your horn won't even blow
(Spoken: Somebody's been runnin' my batteries down on this machine)

2. " 'Deed I Do" Identified by Marek (my version was Ella Fitzgerald)
Do I want you? Oh my, do I,
Honey, indeed I do

Do I need you? Oh my, do I
Honey, a-deed I do

3. "Jolie Blon" Doug Kershaw ---Point to Makeda
Jolie blonde, regardez donc quoi t'as fait,
Tu m'as quitte pour t'en aller,
Pour T'en aller avec un autre, oui, que moi,
Quel espoir et quel avenir, mais, moi, je vais avoir?

4. Reece scores with John Mayer "No Such Thing"
"Welcome to the real world", she said to me
Condescendingly
Take a seat
Take your life
Plot it out in black

5. "Jesus, The Missing Years" John Prine identified by Myrtle Hussain June
It was raining. it was cold
West bethlehem was no place for a twelve year old
So he packed his bags and he headed out
To find out what the worlds about

6. 7th Sister named "Guitar Town" by Steve Earle
Hey pretty baby are you ready for me
It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee
I'm just out of Austin bound for San Antone
With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on

7. "Poncho's Lament" - - - Tom Waits

Well the stairs sound so lonely without you
And I ain't made my bed in a week
Coffee stains on the paper I'm writing
And I'm too choked up inside to speak

8. "Trenchtown Rock" Bob Marley and the Wailers - Point to US Blues
One good thing about music, when it hits you (you feel no pain)
Oh, oh, I say, one good thing about music, when it hits you (you feel no pain)
Hit me with music,
Hit me with music now

9. "Blistered" Johnny Cash
I got great big blisters on my bloodshot eyes
From looking at that long legged woman up ahead
What she does simply walking down the sidewalks of that city
Makes me think about a stray cat getting fed

10. Gabe Nichols recognised "Down By the Glenside, or, The Bold Fenian Men" I was listening to the late, great, Tommy Makem. A fine man, a lovely soul whom I miss a lot.
'Twas down by the glenside, I met an old woman
She was picking young nettles and she scarce saw me coming
I listened a while to the song she was humming
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men

Pretty cool mix. Some obscure, some not. No live bootlegs this morning, but that's a function of random. . .

Gustav Watch, View From My Porch, Friday Random Name That Tune

from U.S. Weather Service Mobile (8:40 a.m. Pacific) *click to enlarge*

Gustav Follows Katrina's Path

It's looking bad, not just for New Orleans, but also for Mobile and Biloxi. Please folks, keep yourselves safe.

View From My Porch - Black Headed Grosbeak (thanks to FDChief for the correction)

This is a much better picture of the bird we call a Mexican Oriole down here, but a wee bit of research in my bird book identified it as "Bullock's Oriole." Which has now been corrected to be "Black Headed Grosbeak."

*click to enlarge*

You can get a much better idea of the brilliant colors on these guys. Juveniles and Females are a dingy brown. The males are bright and bold. Although in the mesquite and brush the patterns and colors camoflage as effectively as a tiger. If they don't move, they're very easy to miss.

Now, for the Game!

Answer Key at Harp and Sword

1. murfmom gets "At Last" although she heard the Etta James version in her head, mine was the Joni Mitchell version, standards are like that

At last,
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song

2. "New Paint" Louden Wainwright III

At the station you can meet her, with that smile you couldn't cheat her
A woman that kind, is hard to find.
It's good to take a girl in the not so very good world
And walk in the park until it gets dark

3. "Living in the Future" John Prine

Jehosaphat the mongrel cat
Jumped off the roof today
Some would say he fell but I could tell
He did himself away

4. LiteralReddy is correct on the title "Sweet Thing." I was listening to Rufus do it though. Yes, it is a standard. I loves me some Rufus.

I will love you anyway
Even if you cannot stay
I think you are the one for me
Here is where you ought to be

5. "Dead Love" Little Milton


Lost my mind
Digging a hole
Bury a heart
Bury my soul

6. Gabe Nichols gets this one, "Summer Wages" by Ian Tyson

Never hit seventeen when you're playing against the dealer
For you know the odds don't ride with you
Never leave your woman alone with friends around to steal her
Years are gambled, and lost, like summer wages

7. "Feelin' The Same Way" Norah Jones

The sun just slipped its note below my door
And I can't hide beneath my sheets
I've read the words before so now I know
The time has come again for me

8. In a total blind guess murfmom also picks "There She Goes" by Sixpence None the Richer

There she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

9. Gabe Nichols got this one too. "Hard Times" Stephen Collins Foster. Although there was no chance of him calling up this version. It's a bootleg off the mixing board from Emmylou Harris, with me on bass vocals

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh Hard times come again no more.

10. "Lo Siento Mi Vida" written by Gilbert Ronstadt, with English lyrics by Linda and Kenny Edwards. live bootleg of Linda Ronstadt at a benefit concert for the Tucson Boy's Choir, with me on Celtic Harp. (a word of warning, I do not allow anyone to express anything but superlatives and positives about Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, you fuck with them you gotta fight with me, sorry, that's just how it is, I adore them both.)

Lo siento mi vida (My life is sadly)
Yo sé que ya terminó (already finished)
Corazones quebrados (heart broken)
Esperanza que se fué (hope that went away)
Cuando brille la luna (When the moon shines)
Yo sé que no dormirás (I know I will not sleep)
Ni tú (Nor you)
Ni yo (Nor I)
Ya ha llegado el triste pesar (the sad one has already arrived)
Debemos siempre separarnos (we must always be apart)

La noche que te fuiste (that night you were yourself)
Cambió mi pobre vida (changed my poor life)
Quedo mi alma triste (I am a sad soul)
Pensando en mi dolor (thinking about my pain)
Cuando brille la luna (when the moon shines)
Yo sé que no dormirás (I know I will not sleep)
Ni tú (Nor you)
Ni yo (Nor I)
Ya ha llegado el triste pesar (the sad one has already arrived)
Debemos siempre separarnos (we must always be apart)

I wait for the night to pass and turn to day
I can't make this feeling go away
'Cause I get so weak when the day is through
And I think of you
I'm gonna see it through

Lo siento mi vida
Yo sé que ya terminó
Corazones quebrados
Esperanza que se fué
Cuando brille la luna
Yo sé que no dormirás
Ni tú
Ni yo
Ya ha llegado el triste pesar
Debemos siempre separarnos
Siempre separar




A lot of these titles are included in the lyric, that's sometimes a function of random. Have fun with these. I know I did.

Music For People Who Know How Many Houses They Own

I had fun with last week's set. I thought I'd do it again today. So, the music machine player thingie gets set on "Random." I'll post the first four lines. Try to name that tune. Artist and songwriter credits are optional. I'll be heading out to San Diego later this afternoon (gotta emergency fill in gig to play) so, if most of the tunes haven't already been guessed I'll post the answer key at Harp and Sword.


1. Got the David Bromberg part right - half point to Paul

She's got eyes like crystal water
She's got lips like cherry wine
She's got a body like fine brandy
And a soul like turpentine.

2. Anarchy in the UK - Sex Pistols - identified by Mephron

I am an antichrist
I am an anarchist
Don't know what I want but
I know how to get it

3.

Used to live in the danger zone
Any day it could get too rough
Now I'm glad I kept holding on
Now I'm glad I had soul enough

4. Myrtle Hussain June absolutely right on Dolly Parton's "Coat of Many Colors"

Back through the years
I go wonderin once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us

5. Zeke spotted the Ramone's "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg"


You've got to pick up the pieces
C'mon, sort your trash
You better pull yourself back together
Maybe you've got too much cash

6. Katster spot on perfect with artist, album and cut "Born At the Right Time" - Paul Simon - Rhythm of the Saints (first time I heard that album I said "Fuck, now every band I form from now on is going to need eight fucking drummers.)

Down among the reeds and rushes
A baby boy was found
His eyes as clear as centuries
His silky hair was brown

7. "Cakewalk Into Town" - Taj Mahal (and it might be a traditional, I'll ask one of my old bluesbuddies next one I see) Amuseinc gets the point for this one.

I had the blues so bad one time
It put my face in a permanent frown
Now I'm feeling so much better
I can cakewalk into town

8.

Ya no quiereo que me beses ni besarte
Ni mirarte ni siquera o ír tu voz
Por que supe que ten ías otro amante
Y en Laredo ya ten ías otros dos

9. Dirty Davy Got "Dirty Old Egg Suckin' Dog" from Live at Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash


Well he's not very handsome to look at
Oh he's shaggy and he eats like a hog
And he's always killin' my chickens
That dirty old egg-suckin' dog

10. Dyin' Crapshooter Blues - Blind Willie McTell
(this one's actually one of my very favorites. unreconstructed blues. it's on the set list for tonight)

Little Jesse was a gambler, night and day
He used crooked cards and dice
Sinful guy, good hearted but had no soul
Heart was hard and cold like ice

Jesse was a wild reckless gambler
Won a gang of change
Although' a many gambler's heart he led in pain
Began to spend a-loose his money
Began to be blue, sad and all alone
His heart had even turned to stone
What broke Jesse's heart while he was blue and all alone
Sweet Lorena packed up and gone
Policemens up and shot my friend Jesse down

Boys I gots to die today
He had a gang of crapshooters and gamblers at his bedside
Here are the words he had to say
Guess I ought to know
Exactly how I wants to go
(spoken)How you wanna go, Jesse?

Eight crapshooters to be my pallbearers
Let 'em be veiled down in black
I want nine men going to the graveyard, Bubba
And eight men comin' back

I want a gang of gamblers gathered 'round my coffin-side
Crooked card printed on my hearse
Don't say the crapshooters'll never grieve over me
My life been a doggone curse

Send poker players to the graveyard
Dig my grave with the ace of spades
I want twelve polices in my funeral march
High sheriff playin' blackjack, lead the parade

I want the judge and solic'ter who jailed me 14 times
Put a pair of dice in my shoes (then what?)
Let a deck of cards be my tombstone
I got the dyin' crapshooter's blues

Sixteen real good crapshooters
Sixteen bootleggers to sing a song
Sixteen racket men gamblin'
Couple tend bar while I'm rollin' along
He wanted 22 womens outta the Hampton Hotel,
26 off-a South Bell
29 women outta North Atlanta,
Know little Jesse didn't pass out so swell

His head was achin', heart was thumpin'
Little Jesse went to hell bouncin' and jumpin'
Folks, don't be standin' around ole Jesse cryin'
He wants everybody to do the Charleston
(shouted)whilst he dyin'
One foot up, a toenail dragging
Throw my buddy Jesse in the
(shout some more)HooDoo Wagon

Come here mama with that can of booze
The dyin crapshooter's, leavin' the world
The dyin' crapshooter's, goin' down slow
With the dyin' crapshooter's blues


There you go folks. Good luck with it. I'm packing up the picks and shovels and implements of destruction.

There's more...
