Thread Name: ADD: Revenue Man (Charley Patton)
Subject: RE: What is Patton saying? Can anyone PLEASE help
I just bought a CD called Roots of Robert Johnson. Great album. Dudes like Skip James, Son House, The Mississippi Shieks. Also on there is Charley Patton's "Revenue Man Blues", probley my favorite track, and I'd like to include it in a gig. The only problem is that I can't understand a goddamn word he's saying. Either the man had a giant tongue (I know it was a fat tongue) or his method of expression simply wasn't catered to his audience. Probley the latter. Please help me. thanx
