Subject: Dave Macon: Morning Blues From: Rick Lee Date: 28 Aug 99 - 09:33 PM Need words to Dave Macon's Morning Blues. I have the LP but my cartridge is broken so I cannot play vinyl. I hope to do Macon version with correct and complete lyrics this week at Sandy Sheehan's OT Music Night at Johnny D's. Thanks, Rick |
Subject: Lyr Add: I'VE GOT THE MOURNING BLUES (Dave Macon) From: j0_77 Date: 28 Aug 99 - 11:49 PM I'VE GOT THE MOURNING BLUES Vo 5095
Been in business and I been in love,
CHORUS: I got the mourning blues, oh so bad,
Ashes to ashes and its dust to dust,
There ain't no use of me a-working so hard,
She brings me chicken and she brings me cake,
Lassus a fellow right over there,
There stands a feller right over yonder, |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dave Macon: Morning Blues From: Pete Peterson Date: 29 Aug 99 - 09:49 PM Hi Rick! I wonder how you willl bowlderize that questionable verse-- have never found a good solution for these! Some of my friends from Charlottesville VA who call themselves the Mando-Mafia have written a couple add'l verses; can post those if you want. (You did say, however, that you want to be true to Uncle Dave) The first song I ever heard you do was an Uncle Dave song-- believe it was Down and Out! PETE |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dave Macon: Morning Blues From: Rick Lee Date: 07 Sep 99 - 09:28 PM Thanks to y'all for help with these lyrics. I don't know who j0_77 might be, but thanks to him/her for digging out all the words. In answer to Pete Peterson's question, I performed a non-bowdlerized version of Mourning Blues at Johnny D's last week, explaining the context for the "N" word. It went fine. Even better, I revived Saro Jane for that show and the audience really got into the chorus. Anyone know the historical context for that song and when/where the big MacMillan steamed? The spirit of Uncle Dave is alive and well in many places! Thanks again, Rick |
