Mick Pearce (MCP) Origins: Who is this singer and what is the song? (12) RE: Origins: Who is this singer and what is the song? 21 Oct 18


I think neither Scrapper Blackwell nor Dock Boggs (though the I'm going to the station... line does appear in Down South Blues, which Dock Boggs sings).

I can't even identify the song; lyrics in case someone can identify the song:

Some of these evening, when the Western sun goes down,
Some of these evening when the Western sun goes down
Gonna pack up my suitcase, I'm California bound.

I'm going to California, don't you wish you were there too x2
Where the good old sun keep shining, girls never turn their back on you.

I'm going to the station, catch the fastest train that goes x2
I'm going back to California where the sweet water flows.

Gonna buy me a newspaper, sit down and read the news x2
O I cain't stay away much longer for I got the California blues

Dont grieve nor worry after I'm done, done and gone
Dont grieve nor worry, good girl, after I'm done, done and gone
Just remember on thing, good girl, you know you've done, done me wrong.


Nice banjo though.

Mick
