Common Blackbird Blues | Sundown Blues

"Common Blackbird Blues" (guitar, bluesharp & vocals) performing an adaption of "Sundown Blues" (originally written by Alec Johnson, who recorded this song for Victor Records in Atlanta, in 1928).

Inspired by the version of Larry Johnson and Nat Riddles on their album Basin' Free from Spivey Records, 1983.

I hate to see the sun go down
That's the time I wanna leave this town
I hate to see that summer sun go down
I hate to see the summer sun go down

I wanna leave before the rain
Pack my suitcase and catch the rain
I hate to see that summer sun go down
I hate to see the summer sun go down

I'm blessed rich, I even got shoes
People don't believe me when I got the blues
But I hate to see the summer sun go down
I hate to see the summer sun gone down

Recorded in February, 2010
