Jesse James - Southern Casey Jones

[gitfiddlejim1]

His Lonesome day blues is equally magnificent.

BEST recording of his. GREATEST line: "

"Now tell the truth mama he says is that a fact

Papa got killed on the I.C. track?"

"Quit crying boy, don't do that.

You got another daddy on the same damn track, on the same track, on the same track

Say you got another daddy on the same track."

Also, I can understand the story better with Jesse James...

[riverlover1]

this is a great find! and it makes for a great comparison with the original versions of Furry Lewis, although his version was always a little different everytime he sang it!

[studio249]

I don't know which came first but this and the Furry Lewis guitar version are very similar

[busessuck1]

@studio249 It's an old folk song Furry's came in 1929, it was the first recorded version

It's a shame that Jesse James only made four recordings because he was a bad MF.

@randomandrare omg someone out there understands........
