Hi

And. . .Don't Let Your Deal Go Down Blues. Kinney Rorrer, Poole's biographer, couldn't find Poole's source. As far as I know, it's Poole's title or one of his bandmates. May have been constructed from "Delia's Gone." Lunsford learned it in 1923, predating Poole.

Hobo Jones, Poole's original title has verses from Kassie Jones.

Trying to understand Poole is like trying to understand white lighnin'- which is something Poole understood well!

He apparently though adding blues to the tile sold records.
