Subject: RE: The wining boy blues: From: Pene Azul Date: 24 Jun 00 - 09:10 AM The lyrics to "Winin' Boy Blues" (Jelly Roll Morton) are here (click). This is Janis Joplin's version, but is quite close to Hot Tuna's. There are more lyrics of songs written and covered by Hot Tuna here (click) PA (also e-mailed) |
Subject: RE: The wining boy blues: From: Giac Date: 24 Jun 00 - 09:11 AM Could it be Winding Boy? I seem to recall a song by that title from a Blues Project (?) album in the 60s, done by Mark Spoelstra (?).
Good tune. The way Winding is pronounced, it sounds
Sister, sister, dirty little sow.
Oh yeah, here's more, but don't remember the order:
I'm a Winding Boy, don't deny my name.
Mama, Mama take a look at Sis.
Think there's at least one more verse that starts: Papa, Papa ...
Seem to recall reading back then, when I was young
However, I have no doubt that someone will leap Good luck.

We cross posted. The versions are very similar. |
Subject: RE: The wining boy blues: From: Pene Azul Date: 24 Jun 00 - 09:22 AM Yeah, Giac, nice simulpost :^) It makes sense that Winin' is short for winding, since it has no h, as in whining. Thanks for the info. I love the song, and now it makes much more sense to me. PA |

Subject: RE: The wining boy blues: From: Mbo Date: 24 Jun 00 - 11:43 AM Whinin' Boy was a character in August Wilson's AWESOME play "The Piano". Watch the Hallmark TV version for an absolutely mind-blowing version of "Alberta" sung by Charles S. Dutton and Courtney B. Vance, among others... --Mbo |
