Joe seems a little distracted on this one.

Close enough.I don't like being pedantic but wanted to update this one because there were a few things I hear quite differently and the title was wrong. Hope you don't mind, Slack! Frankie And Albert Ain't A Gonna Lie To You Standard Key of G .. Frankie she was a good little girl Everybody did know Said she paid 41 dollars For Albert a suit of clothes That's my man, he ain't a treatin' me wrong Albert went down to the saloon He didn't stand in no fear Sit the back, smoke this big cigar Womens all buyin' they beer You is my man, now ya doin' me wrong Frankie went down to the saloon She called for a can of beer Whispered to the party-tender Has my man Albert wandered in here That's my man, and he treat me wrong The barty-tender told Frankie Ain't a gonna tell you no lie He left here just a few minutes ago With a girl they call Alice Fly That's my man, now he doin' me wrong Frankie broke down Alice Fly's home She didn't make no alarm That's where she found her man Albert Layin' in Alice's arms You is my man, well and you doin' me wrong Albert told Frankie Told her once or twice If I ever catch you myself a checkin' I'm surely goin' to take your life Treated me wrong, now he's dead and gone. ?.

It looks like the entire Fat Possom recording has now been transcribed to some degree of completeness. As many songs have not been entered on Weeniepedia (due to ongoing work on figuring out the words!) I thought I'd put a summary up here so it's easier to find the songs by thread page and reply number.

http://www.wirz.de/music/calicfrm.htm Hi there, I've been listening to his late recordings and I got stuck with Uptown Blues... It's a blues in G position, and you can hear and old Missippi joe Calicott here... I would aprecciate some help.
Thanks UPTOWN BLUES Says my baby put me outdoors, put me out one rainy day Says my baby put me outdoors, put me out one rainy day Says "I wouldn't love any woman?" says I hate her to go I hate to... hate to hear my fair brown cry mmm I hate to hear, hear my fair brown cry says another thing I hate to hear, see her bid her last goodbye Say I was born here in Mississippi baby now "I needed a roof" Say I was born here in Mississippi and I?m sure "you too?" You can hitch me to your your middle "" you can plow me just like a mule says I?m standin on the corner, just as drunk as I could be says I?m standin out on the corner, I was just as drunk as I could be says oh the sound can drive me along??? says it's... on me??? mmm my baby, baby I?m bound to go mmm my baby? says honey I?m bound to go says I may not never... may see your face no more Hi coco,
I think I'm hearing some of what you're missing. Boy, is that beautiful singing by Joe! Here is the track: 1.3 Says, I wouldn't love any woman, says, I hate her GOIN' 3.1 Says, I was born here in Miss'sippi, baby, now I MEAN THE TRUTH (truth pronounced t-ruth) 3.2 Says, I was born here in Miss'sippi, and I'm SURELY TRUE (true pronounced t-rue) 3.3 You can hitch me to your middle BUSTER, you can plow me just like a mule 4.1 Says, I was standin' on the corner, just as drunk as I could be 4.2 Says, I was standin' down the corner, I was just as drunk as I could be 4.3 Says, Uncle Sam came drivin' along, says, he dropped his draft on me 5.3 Says, I may not never, may see in your face no more All best, Johnm I think in 3.1 and 3.2 he sings the common "easy to rule" phrase, usually preceded by "I was born in the country". It is also usually rhymed with "drive (or ride or...) me like a mule". I've been singing it lately in "James Alley Blues".
3.1 Says, I was born here in Miss'sippi, baby, now I'M EASY TO RULE 3.2 Says, I was born here in Miss'sippi, and I'm SURELY EASY TO RULE (the "surely easy" elided together) Wax Yes, Wax has that third verse right. I had it wrong. Thanks, Wax, for the catch.
All best, Johnm |
