Thread Name: Lyr Req: songs by Robert Johnson
Subject: RE: Robert Johnson Lyrics
Amen to that, Brian. Most of the guys who write down and publish the lyrics aren't any better than you or I at hearing them accurately. I remember reading one rendition of "Traveling Riverside Blues" which had "I'm going to stay around Goldboro 'til my front teeth are crowned with gold." The real line is "Ain't gon' ta state no color but her front teeth is crowned with gold."
