It was a song Dad enjoyed singing until the day he died back in 1994.<br /> I will never forget people coming to our house and they would always ask Dad to sing and play his old Gibson Guitar. He always would. Somewhere along the line they would always ask Dad to play and sing the Forty Four Blues. When he did people would laugh and sometimes Dad started laughing himself until he would have to stop singing.<br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The lyrics of The Forty Four Blues<br /><br />Well I woke up this morning and the blues all around my bed<br />Well I said I woke up this morning and the blues all around my bed<br />Never had nobody to hold my aching head<br />If I feel tomorrow like I feel today<br />I’ll pack up my suitcase and make my getaway.<br /><br />Somebody done said the Forty Four blues ain’t bad<br />Somebody done said the Forty Four blues ain’t bad<br />Must not have been this forty cause Forty Four blues I done had.<br /><br />They’s two kinds of people that I can’t understand<br />They’s two kinds of people that I can’t understand<br />And that’s a Dago Daddy and a Chinese man.<br /><br />I had a railroad ticket and a mule to ride<br />Had me a railroad ticket and a mule to ride<br />I lost my railroad ticket and the mule done died<br />Had me a woman and a bulldog too.<br />Had me a woman and a bulldog too.<br />My woman don’t much like me but my bulldog sure do.<br />Going to buy me a forty four smokeless gun<br />I said I’m going to buy me a forty four smokeless gun<br />And if anybody asks about me you just say he’s on the run<br /><br />Never did love but three people in all my life<br />I say I never did love but three people in all my life<br />My Mammy and my Pappy and the Jane that wrecked my life<br /><br />Blues ain’t nothing but a good man feeling bad<br />I say blues ain’t nothing but a good man feeling bad<br />It’s the worst old feeling I done ever had<br />If I feel tomorrow like I feel today<br />I say if I feel tomorrow like I feel today<br />I’ll pack up my suitcase and make my getaway.</span></span></b>Keithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05885693789562046737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171765140772738083.post-813086918388428082010-05-13T16:38:00.001-07:002010-05-13T16:38:17.065-07:00The 44 Blues<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/h4Yhgwzdotg&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/h4Yhgwzdotg&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Keithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05885693789562046737noreply@blogger.com0
