Richard Thompson - Don't Roll Those Bloodshot Eyes At Me

[sriiski]

I think that this was first recorded by an western swing artist Hank Penny and it was later covered by W. Harris. Quite unusual that a blues shouter covers a country song.

Don't really care for it, and I usually like Thompson. Wynonie Harris' version is the only one that matters. Ah well, at least it's better than what Pat Benatar did with it.

He didn't write this. Doesn't anyone know how to research anything. I am not saying you should know before you comment, that is pretty obvious. All I say is figure it out first. This was first sung (perhaps) by Wynonie Harris in, like, 1950. It is on yoitube. This is one of the earliest r&b songs.

Well, someone has an attitude.
