Composed by Ed Harris

Edward P. Harris was born in Leasburg, North Carolina on August 22, 1923. He worked around the tobacco fields in the Durham region, playing and singing for tips in his youth. His main influences were Blind Boy Fuller & Lightnin' Hopkins. He was discovered at the age of seventeen and was signed to record for the Acorn subsidiary of Savoy Records. Harris made several recordings for Acorn, King & Savoy in his brief tenure as a recording musician, and recorded under several pseudonyms, including Jammin' Jim, Country Paul, Paul Howard, Lazy Slim Jim, & Georgia Pine. On October 22, 1953, he entered the St. James Hospital in Newark, New Jersey for back surgery where he suffered a heart attack on the operating table and passed away at the age of 30.
