Subject: Lyr Add: TROUBLE IN MIND (Bertha Chippie Hill) From: Roberto Date: 20 Jan 08 - 02:49 PM A check to this transcription. Bertha Chippie Hill recorded more than one track of this blues. This is the one in the Yazoo CD I Can't Be Satisfied, vol.2. R Trouble in mind, I'm blue But I won't be always The sun goin' shine In my back door someday I'm all alone at midnight And the lamps are burnin' low Never had so much trouble In my life before Troublin' love done quit me And it sure do grieve my mind Some days I feel like living Sometimes I feel like dyin' I'm gonna lay my head On some lonesome railroad line And let the 2:19 train Satisfy my mind Trouble in mind, I'm blue But I won't be always The sun goin' shine In my back door someday Corrections made from later messages. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bertha Chippie Hill's Trouble In Mind From: Leadbelly Date: 20 Jan 08 - 02:56 PM Roberto, are you planning to issue a song-book?? Or what's the purpose you need all these (corrected) lyrics for? Interested, Manfred |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bertha Chippie Hill's Trouble In Mind From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Date: 20 Jan 08 - 04:32 PM Roberto On a quick listen, the only things I heard differently were: v3: Trouble in love done quit me (or Troublin' love...) And it sure do grieve my mind I'm a bit busy now, but I'll have a close listen when I get a chance. Mick |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bertha Chippie Hill's Trouble In Mind From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Date: 20 Jan 08 - 05:26 PM Had another listen and a couple of minor changes I think. In the first and last verses I think it's: The sun's gonna shine And in v4 I think it's And let the 2:19 train And that seems to be it! Mick |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bertha Chippie Hill's Trouble In Mind From: Roberto Date: 21 Jan 08 - 03:55 AM Manfred, I think that words and notes in songs are both important, if I could, I'd try to get not only all the words, but also every note a singer actually sings and plays in the recordings I like the best. Besides, English is a foreign language for me, and getting the words is necessary, to better appreciate the songs. I am not a singer, the only singing I do is by myself, but I have a sort of a songbook, not to be issued: with the transcriptions of more than 1.200 recordings of the "Child Ballads", a growing collection of American, English, Scottish, Irish traditional songs. In the case of America, there is also the blues, especially the pre-war recordings, that I'm interested in. The only thing next to an issueing project I have is to translate into Italian an anthology of the Child Ballads. I agree with Bloom, the literature critic, when he writes that these ballads are among the best poetry in English, but a reader doesn't often have a chance to know them. In Italy, we had a couple of anthologies decades ago, with some of the Ballads from Child. I'd like to translate some of the Child ballads into Italian, but not as they are in Child, but taken from the treasure of recordings of these ballads made in the last century. Most from the tradition, and some from the so called revival. But it is hard to find time to dedicate to any project. I'm a trade-unionist, too little time for songs. Best wishes. Roberto |

Subject: Lyr Req: Trouble In Mind (Bertha Chippie Hill) From: GUEST,John Orford Date: 03 Mar 15 - 08:40 AM Anyone still here after seven years? It's Georgia White who sings "my good man done quite me". It's probably "Troublin' love" - but if you hear the first (acoustic) version, which has Thelma la Vizza singing, still with Richard Jones, the writer of the song on the piano, the words are totally different. For me, there's nothing to touch this version and Bertha Hill's singing, but that's just opinion. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Trouble In Mind (Bertha Chippie Hill) From: Bugsy Date: 03 Mar 15 - 07:39 PM From Brownie McGee... "I'm going down to the river, gonna take a Rocking chair, if the blues don't get me Gonna rock away down there" Cheers Bugsy |
