GUEST,Joseph Scott Precedents for early blues lyrics (16) RE: Precedents for early blues lyrics 23 Jul 16

"Do you ever get the blue-devils? Most everyone does.... Speaking of homesickness.... Note the distance the soldiers of the Czar are from home.... They are... like the poor boy who was a long way from home."

-- "The Man About Town," Salt Lake _Tribune_, 5/15/1904.

(This fits with when Gus Cannon and Emmet Kennedy both recalled that they had heard the song "Poor Boy Long Ways From Home," Kennedy near New Orleans.)
