Subject: Lyr Add: I FEEL SO GOOD (Broonzy)
I've just transcribed this, and I'd like some comments as to what the man meant. The second verse doesn't make a lot of sense, and I'd like to know about garden gin - sounds like it might be fun, but it might just be a Broonzy invention, like the long-billed boll weevil!
I FEEL SO GOOD W Broonzy
I got a letter, it come to me by mail My baby said she's coming home and I hope that she don't fail You know I feel so good, yes I feel so good, Now I feel so good, baby, I feel like balling the jack
I feel so good I hope I always will I feel just like a Jack out with a Ginny, well behind the hill You know I feel so good, yes I feel so good, I feel so good, baby, I feel like balling the jack
I'm going down to the station, just to meet a train I've got to see my baby you know I've got that aim You know I feel so good, yes I feel so good, I feel so good, I just feel like balling the jack
I love my tea, crazy 'bout my garden gin, When I get high now, baby, I just feel like floating around in the wind You know I feel so good, yes I feel so good, I feel so good, baby, I feel like balling the jack
