Thread Name: What does 'CC Rider' mean?
Subject: RE: What does 'CC Rider' mean?
I had an old book with what was then called "Negro Folksongs and Folklore" and "Easy Rider" was one of the songs, as well as a couple of different versions of "Frankie and Johnny", and "Stag-o-Lee". It was a great book, but a dog I once had ate it Grrr....

Point bein', it had the almost same words as C.C. Rider. except it was from the point of a woman and you get the definite idea that she was left pregnant.

"Easy Rider, see what you done, done",repeat, "you loved me Baby, and now my man is gone".

Great song.
