Ray Garrison Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I was never much of a Who fan, but that song was sorta unescapeable Let my love open the door If you ever go to houston Oh well you better walk right You better not stagger And you better not fight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 Just as I wanted to post.... "Midnight Special" by CCR (well, they copied it, I believe). Next: "You search in your bag Light up a *** (it blocks this out, another word for cigarette, which is what gays are commonly called) Think it's a drag, but you're so glad To be alive honey" Name that Tune!

Ray Garrison Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Allman Brothers, song was something blues... don't have album, could never figure out what they were singing when I heard it. Always sounded like "Skateboard Blues" but that didn't really make any sense. Just another mondegreen... ...and The Midnight Special was written by Leadbelly, guys...

Jeff Matthews Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 Ray, that would be "Statesboro Blues." If this is indeed the song, your guess is close enough. I'd have never guessed it. You're up, Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Garrison Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 So what are the "Statesboro Blues"??? The time I like is the rush hour, cause I like the rush The pushing of the people, I like it all so much Such a mass of motion, don't know where it goes I move with the movement and...

theryugobuddy Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Statesboro (Georgia or Alabama) was known for a false story of a black man who raped a white woman and was lynched for it. And many knew it was false but he was still lynched. The original song (by I think Elmore James) was something of a statement of overall oppression of being black in the South at the time, even though it didn't reference the lynching. The Allmans just kicked the song into high gear--" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theryugobuddy Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 One of the song challenges several pages back was Aldo's one big hit -- all I remembered was the lead guitar melody-- I did notice that this song has the same title as a darn good Peter Gabriel album cut-- RayG--please put up some Beatles or something!
