Stewie Origins: Leaving Home (Charlie Poole) (15) RE: Origins: Charlie Poole's 'Leaving Home' ??????? 22 Jul 19

Here's the note by Kinney Rorer in his 'Rambling Blues: the Life & Songs of Charlie Poole':

'Still another version of the popular "Frankie and Johnny" song. This one was written by the Leighton Brothers and Ron Shields and copyrighted in 1923. Though there are some differences in the chorus, Poole follows the Leighton-Shields version closely. The popular band leader, Ted Lewis, recorded the same song for Columbia in 1927 with the title "Frankie and Johnny: You'll Miss Me in the Days to Come". Lewis included only the chorus and not the verses'.

--Stewie.
