Jeff in Louisville | Blues Lyrics Translation (80* d) | RE: Blues Lyrics Translation | 03 Nov 98 |
Steve..."take my rider by my side" usually means anything from a weapon to a crutch of some kind...The line appeared originally, as far as I can tell, in Robert Johnson's "Traveling Riverside Blues"...when Eric Clapton adapted "Cross Road Blues" for Cream, he used the verse from "Traveling Riverside Blues" in that adaptation: "Goin' down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side "We can still find a house, baby, on the riverside". |
