Composed by Burl C. Coleman
Burl C. Coleman was born in Gainesville, AL. on May 20, 1896. He started performing blues as an entertainer for the American soldiers while in the U.S. Army. It was there that he was nicknamed "Jaybird" due to his independent manner. In the early 1920's he toured the South with Big Joe Williams as a member of the Birmingham Jug Band. In 1927 he cut several sides under his name for the Gennett label in Birmingham. In April 1930, he recorded two more songs for Columbia. These were the last sides for him as a solo artist. In December of that year he teamed up again with the Birmingham Jug Band, a group that still featured Williams on guitar and also Blind Ben Covington and recorded for OKeh. After this session he became a street singer throughout Alabama. Jaybird Coleman died of cancer at the age of 53 in Tuskegee, AL. on January 28, 1950.
