Subject: Lyr Add: MIDNIGHT TRAIN (from Delmore Brothers) From: Dale Rose Date: 22 Nov 98 - 08:15 PM I have never heard this by Jim and Jesse, but it definitely would fit into their repertoire. I have it by the Delmore Brothers on an old album, and also on Sand Mountain Blues, County CD 110. The songs on this CD were from their later recordings for King and were done between 1944 and 1949. A CD of their early works recorded 1933-1940 is also available, Brown's Ferry Blues, County 116. There is no mention that it is a Delmore original, but I would suspect that it is. They were close associates of Merle Travis during this period, and he is featured on this recording. Note the war reference in the second verse.
MIDNIGHT TRAIN
I have been all around my old home town,
Chorus
Oh, she said she'd be true 'til the fighting was through,
Chorus
When she hears this old song, she will know that she's wrong, Chorus |
