Hey look!

This Favorite Blues Songs thread is back!!

I've been so blue since it went away. I mean I don't know nuthin' about Irish songs and such. I begin to feel like a long line skinner with the shortest line. So I've been working on playing and singing my favorite blues songs.

Ok all o' you blues types guess the writer / singer / artist. This is one version of some of the words to a pre-WWII blues song.

Well I worked ol' Lou captain, You know I worked ol' Bell. I just can't find a mule with her shoulder well.

I'm a long line skinner darlin'. You know I'm a long line skinner But I got that shortest line.

You know I got my captain with a hard shootin' pistol. I'll take it from him in the mornin', You know if he makes me mad.
