@thesopranosrules seriously no one who looked up this cover really gives a shit. i LOVE this song and this cover;if you dont like it then get the fuck out of this area of utube!

@Ka1idurga Naw, I don't buy it. I think there are other, more plausible explanations, but this is far fetched. That is like saying when Will Shade says, "She stabbed me with the ice-pick," that he's actually talking about Jim Crow. If you want to listen to political commentary in pre-war blues, there are plenty of great songs (both veiled in entendre and blatent), this one is about pimping, like it or not.

[Ka1idurga]

@nichmars The thing you need to bear in mind about the old blues tunes is that the lyrics were often directed, in a very veiled manner, towards the white overseers, sheriff's deputies, prison wardens, etc, who oppressed the African-American population. It may sound as if that southern can is a woman, but Willie could actually be singing about wanting to beat the crap out of some over-bearing cap'n. Think about it.
