I am out of town at the moment, but will have to listen again with better speakers and headphones at home and will get back to you. |

02 Sep 23 - 11:29 AM (#4180492) Subject: RE: Lyr req: On the Road Again (Floyd Jones) From: GUEST,Nick Dow Al Wilson wrote or rather re wrote 'On the road again'. The record company is alleged to have taken the copyright and the song writing rights from him, and also his royalties. I'm not sure but his family were alleged to have been involved somewhere, If you read Fito de la Parra's biography 'Living the blues' it gives the details. I understand it was a series of sales, company wind ups and re-sales. The chapter entitled 'We are not a royalties company' is quite revealing. |

02 Sep 23 - 11:38 AM (#4189852) Subject: RE: Lyr req: On the Road Again (Floyd Jones) From: GUEST,Nick Dow Wilson's harmonica solo has a note that is not playable without an overblow; he re-tuned his harmonica's six hole up a half step. Wow that explains it. I think harmonicas can be purchased with the retune from the factory now. I think I saw 'Nine below Zero' use one. |

05 Sep 23 - 08:56 AM (#4180670) Subject: RE: Lyr req: On the Road Again (Floyd Jones) From: cnd Here's my transcription of the above. It's not exactly the same, but some of the lyrics are shared. Canned Heat, Led Zeppelin, and many, many others, stole and made popular many a blues song. There's a vinyl set from Japan off the "P-Vine Special" label (click) which has a lyrics sheet, but I've been unable to find a picture in a resolution discernable to the human eye. ON THE ROAD AGAIN (Floyd Jones) Woah, I'm tired of worrying and crying Boys, I'm out on the road again On the road again Worried about my baby Worried about my baby Don't feel like I have a friend Lord, I had to travel Woah, in the rain and snow -- in the rain and snow My baby had quit me, my baby had quit me Have no place to go Woah, take a hint from me, God Please don't cry no more -- don't cry no more Gonna be a early, long morning Walking in the old rain and snow Woah, sunny lands will be there A church bell will ring and toll -- gonna hear the church bell ring and toll My little baby My little baby Boys, she's dead and gone |
