Blind Lemon Jefferson (1893-1929)-Black Horse Blues (1926)

Tweet   [Tell me, I want to know] what time : do the trains come through your town I want to laugh and talk : with a long-haired teasing brown One goes south at eight : and it’s one goes north at nine I got to have a good talk : with that long-haired brown of mine Go and get my black horse : and saddle up my grey mare I'm going home to my good gal : she's in the world somewhere I can't More.. count the times : that I'm so unsatisfied Sugar the blues ain't on me : but things ain't going on right "Blind" Lemon Jefferson (September 24, 1893 – December 19, 1929) was a blues singer and guitarist from Texas. He was one of the most popular blues singers of the 1920s, and has been titled "Father of the Texas Blues". Jefferson's singing and self-accompaniment were distinctive as a result of his high-pitched voice and originality on the guitar. He was not influential on some younger blues singers of his generation, as they did not seek to imitate him as they did other commercially successful artists. However, later blues and rock and roll musicians attempted to imitate both his songs and his musical style. Goodnight everyone!
