McKinley Mr. Morgenfield hardly originated those words. Charlie Poole recorded them in 20's, when Muddy was a wee lad. I suspect when Robert Johnson sang them as part of "If I had possession over Judgement Day" when he wasn't limited to what fit on a 38. They're part of the original version of Hesitation Blues (WC Handy). A noble sentiment, nonetheless. |

The lyrics have been incorporated into quite a few songs and yes you are definitely correct in that Charlie Poole them recorded well before Muddy Re WC Handy and "Hestaition Bls" - Again I do believe that you are correct again. I first heard them as part of that Muddy Water's "Rolling and Tumblin" - All these songs have been recorded differenty but I play it in the Key of C Thanks Yank Rachel |
