Well, that [C] is really the name, but somebody called me out for a long time ago, and instead of
[E]
He pushed the button, didn't he?
Elementary!
[N]
Elementary, for the most part.
I'm [E] scared.
[Db] [Ab] Richard, you asked me to do [Eb] the first intro [Gm] of the plan, and best [C] I remember, the first
fellow I [Gm] remember hearing sang this [Em] was Carlisle Brothers a long time ago.
[N] I believe Cliff Carlyle sang [E] in the highs of going to school probably
from here in the 30's, way back then.
And he probably found it [N] here in town,
in the old black lonesome boy [E] down on the devil's practice lane,
I think, maybe where it comes from.
Anyway, son of a white blues, I always thought of it, not a devil's blues.
