by Jimmie Rodgers, who died on this date in 1933 at the age of 35 after years of suffering from tuberculosis.
lyrics excerpt:
Some like Chicago some love Memphis Tennessee
Some like Chicago some love Memphis Tennessee
Give me sweet Dallas Texas where the women think the world to me
You may have your troubles I'm having my troubles too
You may have your troubles I'm having my troubles too
Yes I know how it feels when you're feeling so doggone blue
I'm not singing the blues I'm telling you the hard luck I've had
I'm not singing the blues I'm telling you the hard luck I've had
The blues ain't nothing but a good man feeling bad

ReplyDeleteAnother musician who died too young :(
DeleteThis is wonderful. I had never heard of Jimmie Rogers, but it's a lovely toe tapping song. Too bad he died so young. You must scour the web for any mention of Memphis.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. We miss you, dear.
Oh, yes, looking for songs that mention Memphis is a rabbit hole with no end lol There are lists online just for that!
