Shopping > Music, and transcribed this fragment: If you talk in your sleep, woman, don't you mention my name. (2x) 'Cause if you do, it might drive a heart insane. My head ain't much, but it just flutters around. (2x) |

06 Apr 05 - 09:50 PM (#1454047) Subject: Lyr Add: GOODBYE BLUES (Willie McTell) From: Bob the Postman I came across this thread in the unanswered requests location. Willie McTell's Last Session is one of my all-time favorite records. To me, Goodbye Blues sounds like this (the problem, of course, is verse 4--can anyone clarify?): Don't get mad with me if I talk in my sleep Don't get mad with me if I should talk in my sleep Cause you might say something, good girl to cause you to weep Sure as a bird fly in the air above Just as sure as a bird fly in the air above Life ain't worth a darn if you ain't with the one you love If you talk in your sleep, woman don't you mention my name Now if you talk in your sleep, woman don't mention my name Cause if you do it might drive my heart insane Says my head ain't much but it just flutters around Says my head ain't much but it just flutters around But I can entertain you baby from your ayfron-binding-drown I know you' wondering what I'm gonna say to you I realise you' wondering, got me all confused But I'm leaving you this morning with those good-bye blues |

07 Apr 05 - 08:08 AM (#1454287) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Goodbye Blues - Willie McTell From: Bob the Postman I too always heard it as "from your apron binding down", which I thought meant "below your waist", i. e., it's a sexual boast. But it doesn't really make sense so when I transcribed the words I tried to do that part phonetically. I wonder if McTell, not completely sober during the recording session, meant to sing something like "I can entertain you, baby, but you ain't gonna bind me down"? That reading would be consistent with the "I'm out of here" theme of the song. |

Lucky guy. I wonder what's on the tape that didn't make it to the LP. Now, can anyone help with verse 4? |
