Nothing But The Blues #100
I think I'll take a trip to California, Where the sun shines every day. I think I'll take a trip to California, Where the sun shines every day. I thought about going to Florida, But that's too far away. When I'm on my way to Hollywood baby, I'm gonna stop off in Mexico. When I'm on my way to Hollywood baby, I'm gonna stop off in Mexico. I have a friend there by the name of Jumping Joel. They say I'm out of Cuba, If the place where I should go. They say I'm out of Cuba, If the place where I should go. What they got on my mind, No woman ever knows. Yes I'm going to take my vacation, Going to do it right away. Yes I'm going to my vacation baby, Going to do it right away. I'd rather be in town than the country, Any or any day. Welcome to nothing but the blues of Maycliffe. I thought it was Tebow and Walker with vacation blues, recorded in May 1949, and I played that to open the show, Because if all has gone according to plan, I'll be on vacation in Switzerland by the time you hear this, Halfway from a mountain in a nice little chalet. And so the next two shows will be uploaded in advance and then published on the day, But there will still be the usual mix of blues, So take me to the airport. Take me to the airport babe, Get on a big jet plane and fly. Got to get out of the city, Cause I'm a guy to lose my mind, Talk to my tribulation, Help get me out of here, Talk to my tribulation, Help get me out of here, I need me a vacation, Getting tired of this atmosphere. Four past two weeks, All I seen is rain, Gave me off to Inlet, a bus along the Spain, It's heavy to the airport babe, Even though I don't like to fly, If I stay here one more day, I do believe I'm gonna die. I need you to get out of here, If I stay here one more day, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out and fly, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, Get on some kind of plane tonight, It's heavy to the airport babe, Get up on some plane tonight, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I went to the airport, look up on the boat, I went to the airport, look up on the boat, look up on the boat, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I need you to get out of here, I'm so far from home, I went back to the airport, look up on the boat, I went back to the airport, look up on the boat, some of you'll fly down to cancer, now you can't go home, sometimes I wonder what I'll ever get back home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, so I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far

from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I'm so far from home, I heard there was some glue, I done bought my tickets but I don't know where I'm from, I went to the depot, just up and down the road, I went to the depot, just up and down the road, I had to take a day down in my town on the road, the angel said "Woman, don't say that I'm proud, the angel said "Woman, don't say that I'm proud, the angel said "I'm proud, the angel said "I'm proud, the angel said "I'm proud, the angel said" I had my daddy calling, my mother wrote my name, I had my daddy calling, my mother wrote my name, I know it don't need me, but I'm gonna answer death by saying "I'm dangerous and blue, I'm dangerous and blue, I'm dangerous and blue, I'm dangerous and blue, I'm dangerous and blue, I'm dangerous and blue, I'm dangerous and blue, I'm dangerous and blue, I'm dangerous and blue, I'm dangerous and blue, I was traveling to South America, walked up to a lady's house, call a grandma, didn't know her name, to give me something, walked on down the road, I heard old train getting off like this, I heard old bell ring kind of like this, I went on down, I heard old wiffle blow, I was in La Guillanda, La Guillanda, after women, after women, I went on down, I was getting the same to the angel there, just a angel now, let a man ride the line, just a angel now, let a poor man ride the line, that I wouldn't mind it fell off, but you know this train ain't mine, I began to get a little fella blow a long show, get away blowin', and I began to think so one more time, you're the cruel farmer, lord I'm an angel now, you're the cruel farmer, lord I'm an angel now, I'm trying to hope all my way and you leave me standin' down, and I go along followin' again to think, full boy to him, and I began to smile in my face, get a fella ride all round the wall, get a fella ride all round the wall, oh boy you ain't got no girl, and I began to hear him tell me about those cheesin' eggs, I want 'em to fix, but I didn't say smile blow down, smile blow down, smile blow down, and I began to hear himself about them cheesin' eggs, I got a little bit of a cheese, egg done, done, done, done, done, and I began to tell everybody I'm wrong, I love you, I'm right, I love you, true, I love you, I'm wrong fella, lord I do, yeah, wonderful, wonderful blind Willy Maxow with travel in blues, recorded in October 1929, under the name of blind Sami, and before that Mar Rainey with travel in blues, recorded in Chicago in June 1928. Well after the plane we switch to trains, so the train is coming. The train is coming, in my baby, exactly gone. The train is coming, in my baby, exactly gone, I believe she's leaving me, not to come back no more. The port-a-way's is hanging, and the fireman rang the bell. The port-a-way's is hanging, and the fireman rang the bell. When the driving wheels start trainin' over, my poor heart began to swell. I stood and looked at the train, until it went around the bend. I stood and looked at the train, until it went around the bend. I said I don't believe, I'll see my baby smile and face again. This sun began thinkin' down, behind the western horizontal. This sun is thinkin' down, behind the western horizontal. The evening to be dandalfone, and I'm here all alone. I won't go and sit down, I'm not the old old trees. I won't go out and sit under the old old trees. But I ain't got nobody to talk baby talk to me.
