Friday night!
This would usually be the time I’d be packing up some camera gear, reaching for the extra battery, and heading down the street to Froggie’s. To catch some music but also to catch up with friends.
Those days will be back so let’s all be patient and do what we have to right now. Because when we can all get together again and listen to music we’ll all have some interesting stories about how we all survived quarantine. Food, drinks, fun, music, friends.
But for tonight, sing along with one of my favorites by a couple of my favorite. MaryAnn and Cole can rip some blues!
I went to the depot and I, I looked up on the board
I went to the depot, I looked up on the board
Well, I couldn’t see no train
I couldn’t hear no whistle blow
Engineer blowed the whistle and the fireman, he rung the bell
Oh, oh, the fireman, he rung the bell
You know my woman was on board
She was wavin’ back, “Fare you well”
If I had any strength I would set this train off the track
I would set this train off the track
Else you make me a promise
You gonna bring my baby back
You ain’t comin’ back no more
I don’t believe you ever comin’ back no more
You leavin’ now, baby
Bet you hangin’ creeper on my door
I’m gonna miss you from rollin’ in my arms
I’m gonna miss you from rollin’ in my arms
If I can’t get no stamps and paper
I’m gonna sit down and telephone
James, it was indeed a week’s highlight to dive into the blues at Froggies. Thanks for digging it, too. We’re grateful to share our love of the genre.
