I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I don't know the original composer of this song. I've read that it was written by a man named Texas Bill Day, but I've also read that Blind Lemon Jefferson wrote it as well. This cover is very loosely based on a performance by Will and Bob Lambert. That performance can be found on YouTube.

Cooper generously provided the background vocals for this song, and those vocals are responsible for some of the smiles you see on my face towards the end of the song. I had a good time with this one, but was testing the limits of my vocal range.

  • I used to work in Deep Ellum! Great song! Great job! LIke the aged video effect.

  • nice playing and singing!

  • Hey, man, that was great. Nicely done and the shooting of the vid in grainy B&W added to the authentic feel to the song. Only wish you would have included a shot of the little guy who provided the inspiration. Thanks for sharing. - Mark
