Rick Lee Lyr Req: I've Got the Mourning Blues (Dave Macon) (7) RE: Lyr Req: Dave Macon: Morning Blues 07 Sep 99

Thanks to y'all for help with these lyrics.

I don't know who j0_77 might be, but thanks to him/her for digging out all the words.

In answer to Pete Peterson's question, I performed a non-bowdlerized version of Mourning Blues at Johnny D's last week, explaining the context for the "N" word. It went fine.

Even better, I revived Saro Jane for that show and the audience really got into the chorus. Anyone know the historical context for that song and when/where the big MacMillan steamed?

The spirit of Uncle Dave is alive and well in many places!

Thanks again,

Rick
