Beverly Maher - Crescent City Blues

[MrKimmy1986]

Who cares that he robbed them? They're all robbing from songs that'd been out by Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton, etc for 15+ years.

How come nobody says nothing of the lady who's singin'? I think she's a super singer - is there anything else where she could be heard?

[DominaDoll]

Johnny didn't borrow, he stole this song outright and had to pay big dues to keep Folsom Prison Blues his own. But Cash still rocks!

[samdunaway0496]

@DominaDoll He didn't pay diddly!!!

[samdunaway0496]

@DominaDoll Folsom blues will never be his own!!

You Gotta Start Some Ware... You Cant Build A Building Without A Foundation. In This Case, Johnny Had To Start Some Ware...

[samdunaway0496]

@RockinRollBand09 In his case it was stealing a song from someone nobody knew.

[NOTABOOS]

Cash stole it

[SuperAhlberg]

@NOTABOOS - jees,you right

[inspect112]

@NOTABOOS man that's what music was like back then, everyone was borrowing from everyone else and no-one minded

[samdunaway0496]

@NOTABOOS Thank God someone has admitted it!! My fiance' still doesn't see it!!

I hear the train a-comin, it's rolling 'round the bend

And I ain't been kissed lord since I don't know when

The boys in Crescent City don't seem to know I'm here

That lonesome whistle seems to tell me, Sue, disappear

When I was just a baby my mama told me, Sue,

When you're grown up I want that you should go and see and do

But I'm stuck in Crescent City just watching life mosey by

When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry...
