Song of the Day: Blind Willie McTell - Searching the Desert for the Blues May 11, 2008
Posted by ~V~ in : Images, Sounds, Song of the Day , trackbackYou may search the ocean,
you might go ‘cross the deep blue sea…
But Mama, you’ll never find
another hot shot like me.
i followed my baby from the station to the train,
and the blues came down like dark night showers of rain.
Blind Willie McTell - Searching the Desert for the Blues (2.9MB mp3)
recorded February 22, 1932 in Atlanta, Georgia
i left her at the station,
wringin’ her hands and cryin’…
i told her she had a home,
just as long as i got mine.
