Subject: Lyr Add: HENRY (John Dawson) From: Lonesome EJ Date: 11 Nov 08 - 01:02 AM One of my favorite bluegrass stompers by John Marmaduke Dawson... HENRY As recorded by New Riders of the Purple Sage (1971) Every year along about this time it all goes dry Nothin' round for love or money that'll get you high Henry got pissed off and said he'd run to Mexico To see if he could come back holding twenty keys of gold Now the road to Acapulco is very hard indeed and it isn't any better if you haven't any weed Henry's drivin' hard and straight on twisting mountain roads fifty people waitin' back at home for Henry's load CHO And now he's rollin' down the mountain going fast, fast, fast And if he blows it this one's gonna be his last Down to Acapulco to turn the golden keys Henry keep your brakes on for this corner if you please! Henry got to Mexico and turned his truck around He's talkin' with the man who has it growing from the ground Henry tasted, he got wasted, couldn't even see How he's gonna drive like that is not too clear to me CHO Sunday afternoon Tijuana is a lovely town The bullfight bring the tourists and their money flowing down Border guards are much too busy there at 5 o'clock Henry's truckin' right on through, he hardly even stopped CHO |
Subject: RE: Cocaine.... From: MissouriMud Date: 11 Mar 10 - 02:47 PM Reviving this thread just to check a point in the DigiTrad: Based on the discussion above it looks like what is in the DigiTrad as Cocaine Blues and Cocaine Blues 3 are (or at least are based on or related to) the Gary Davis version, although Cocaine Blues 3 is attributed to Luke Jordan at the top and bottom. What is in DigiTrad as Cocaine Blues (4) appears to be the real Luke Jordan version including the "furniture man", and is attributed to him at the bottom. What is listed as Cocaine Blues 2 is pretty clearly the Little Sadie variant version (Red Arnall?). Since, unless I am misreading the comments, it appears that the Cocaine 3 is NOT the Luke Jordan version - is there a way to delete the attribution to him on that listing in Digitrad? |
Subject: Lyr Add: COCAINE JANE (Sam Gill, Edward Riley) From: Jim Dixon Date: 07 Feb 22 - 11:42 AM From the sheet music at Baylor University: COCAINE JANE [1] or CO-CAINE JANE [2] Words by Sam Gill, music by Edward Riley, ©1925. 1. She landed in the city one ev’ning on a train, Just a simple country lass; her name was Mary Jane. No loving friend to greet her; you’ve heard the tale before: A stranger there to meet her, she fell to rise no more. It’s the same old story over again; now ev’rybody calls her Cocaine Jane. CHORUS: Cocaine Jane, Cocaine Jane, She lives in Cocaine Lane. In a cocaine flat, with a cocaine cat, She chases the cocaine rat. Smiling with a cocaine grin, She’s full of cocaine sin. Snow has drifted on her brain. Now ev’rybody calls her Cocaine Jane. 2. Now isn’t it a pity? In Cocaine Lane, they say That she chases cocaine rats around the flat all day. Her cocaine cat he helps her, for she has rats galore, And stranger things torment her, so let us tell no more. It’s the same old story over again; now ev’rybody calls her Cocaine Jane. - - - 1 Title as given on the sheet music cover. 2 Title as given on the first page of the sheet music. Baylor University has it cataloged as CO-CAINE JANE, but a search for COCAINE JANE will find it. |
