21 Oct 18 - 06:52 PM (#3957774) Subject: RE: Origins: Who is this singer and what is the song? From: Mick Pearce (MCP) I think neither Scrapper Blackwell nor Dock Boggs (though the I'm going to the station... line does appear in Down South Blues, which Dock Boggs sings). I can't even identify the song; lyrics in case someone can identify the song: Some of these evening, when the Western sun goes down, Some of these evening when the Western sun goes down Gonna pack up my suitcase, I'm California bound. I'm going to California, don't you wish you were there too x2 Where the good old sun keep shining, girls never turn their back on you. I'm going to the station, catch the fastest train that goes x2 I'm going back to California where the sweet water flows. Gonna buy me a newspaper, sit down and read the news x2 O I cain't stay away much longer for I got the California blues Dont grieve nor worry after I'm done, done and gone Dont grieve nor worry, good girl, after I'm done, done and gone Just remember on thing, good girl, you know you've done, done me wrong. Nice banjo though. Mick |

California Blues was something I searched for on youtube but never reached the correct one. (I just tried again and seemed to run out of them before finding it still!) Mick |
