I lose my baby, ain't that sad?

You can't lose whatYou ain't never had

Well you know you can'tSpend what you ain't got
8
00:00:58,992 --> 00:01:02,325
You can't lose whatYou ain't never had
9
00:01:17,077 --> 00:01:23,038
Steal away
10
00:01:23,116 --> 00:01:30,386
Steal away to me
11
00:01:36,129 --> 00:01:39,587
Oh Lord, trouble so hard
12
00:01:39,866 --> 00:01:46,066
Don't nobody know my troublesBut God
13
00:01:46,339 --> 00:01:50,400
Don't nobody know my troubles but God
14
00:01:50,677 --> 00:01:54,875
Yes indeed, I trouble so hard
15
00:01:55,148 --> 00:01:59,141
Yes indeed, I trouble so hard
16
00:01:59,219 --> 00:02:03,553
Oh Lord, trouble so hard
17
00:02:03,823 --> 00:02:07,850
Oh Lord, trouble so hard
18
00:02:08,027 --> 00:02:12,054
Wait and let me tell youWhat you took to me do
19
00:02:12,198 --> 00:02:16,328
Hold me safely I was in loveWith you
20
00:02:16,569 --> 00:02:20,665
Hiding back and lying in wait
21
00:02:20,907 --> 00:02:24,707
Just the same as bad blame
22
00:02:24,878 --> 00:02:28,609
Oh Lord, trouble so hard
23
00:02:29,315 --> 00:02:32,580
Oh Lord, trouble so hard
24
00:03:12,825 --> 00:03:16,522
I was sent back down Southas an eleven year old...
25
00:03:16,796 --> 00:03:21,130
to be saved from sin and to getbaptized in my uncle's church.
26
00:03:21,734 --> 00:03:24,430
However, my other uncle, Buddy,a gambler and blues player...
27
00:03:24,504 --> 00:03:27,166
met me at the train stationin New Orleans...
28
00:03:27,373 --> 00:03:31,275
and kidnapped me to show mewhat I'm getting saved from.
29
00:03:32,712 --> 00:03:34,543
I remember going back hometo get saved...
30
00:03:34,814 --> 00:03:37,112
and Emmett Till went backand got murdered.
31
00:03:37,884 --> 00:03:41,547
I was going to where the Southerncrossed the Dog and to the crossroads...
32
00:03:41,788 --> 00:03:44,120
where Robert Johnson soldhis soul to the devil.
33
00:03:44,791 --> 00:03:47,783
I would become familiarwith names like Ma Rainey...
34
00:03:48,127 --> 00:03:51,062
"The Devil's Son-in-Law",Mississippi John Hurt...
35
00:03:51,297 --> 00:03:52,992
Muddy Waters, Son House.
36
00:03:53,866 --> 00:03:57,927
Names and sounds likeDee Bellum, King Biscuit...
37
00:03:58,137 --> 00:04:00,571
Ferris Streetand Bumble Bee Smith.
38
00:04:01,474 --> 00:04:04,466
Two people haunted mesince I've been a grown man...
39
00:04:04,944 --> 00:04:07,469
Blind Lemon Jeffersonand W.C. Handy.
40
00:04:08,681 --> 00:04:11,013
"W.C. Handy's,St. Louis Blues...
41
00:04:11,217 --> 00:04:14,653
was the first piece I learnedto play on my trumpet.
42
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:16,517
The words to his song...
43
00:04:17,523 --> 00:04:20,890
'My man has a heart likea rock cast in the sea'...
44
00:04:21,361 --> 00:04:23,556
to this day bleeds in memory.
45
00:04:24,631 --> 00:04:28,692
When I get back on that KC road
46
00:04:30,003 --> 00:04:35,066
When I get back on that KC road
47
00:04:36,175 --> 00:04:41,613
When I get back on that KC road
48
00:04:42,548 --> 00:04:47,485
Gonna love my babyLike I never loved before
49
00:05:12,345 --> 00:05:15,178
Hey little man, I'm your Uncle Buddy.
Remember me?
50
00:05:15,248 --> 00:05:16,476
I talk to you on the phone.
51
00:05:16,549 --> 00:05:18,483
You're too young to remember
when you left.
52
00:05:18,551 --> 00:05:20,109
Give your uncle a hug, boy.
53
00:05:22,822 --> 00:05:25,791
You mama should have let you
change trains and come up to Jackson...
54
00:05:25,858 --> 00:05:28,656
I could have pick you up without having
to drive all the way down here and back.
55
00:05:30,463 --> 00:05:34,058
But your mama didn't want you riding
on no segregated Jim Crow train.
56
00:05:34,867 --> 00:05:38,598
I don't know why she put you in the fire
and expect you not to feel the heat.
57
00:05:38,805 --> 00:05:41,069
But even if you don't ride
no in the Jim Crow train...
58
00:05:41,140 --> 00:05:42,937
you're down here now boy.
59
00:05:43,176 --> 00:05:45,303
And I'm gonna make sure
you see plenty.
60
00:05:45,378 --> 00:05:48,370
- Where is Uncle Flem?
- Where he always is, preaching.
61
00:05:48,581 --> 00:05:50,139
That why he didn't come pick you.
62
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:52,784
He has a whole bunch of sinners
he has to pray over.
63
00:05:53,019 --> 00:05:56,386
That's why my grandma sent me down
here, to get saved before I'm twelve.
64
00:05:56,656 --> 00:05:58,681
Get saved from what? Life?
65
00:05:59,092 --> 00:06:02,528
The best thing that happened to you
is that I picked you.
66
00:06:02,628 --> 00:06:03,993
C'mon, boy.
67
00:06:16,476 --> 00:06:18,967
The ghost of Buddy Bolden
walked these streets.
68
00:06:19,212 --> 00:06:21,407
My daddy named me after him...
69
00:06:21,481 --> 00:06:23,449
'cause he thought
I was going crazy.
70
00:06:24,050 --> 00:06:26,610
Great musicians came from
this neck of the Woods.
71
00:06:26,819 --> 00:06:29,083
Armstrong, Jelly 'R oll Morton.
72
00:06:29,822 --> 00:06:31,847
Your granddaddy worked on a boat.
73
00:06:32,158 --> 00:06:33,955
He loved New Orleans.
74
00:06:34,327 --> 00:06:36,158
And he loved the women here
too...
75
00:06:36,596 --> 00:06:40,430
until your grandmamma tamed him.
She took his spirit!
76
00:06:48,775 --> 00:06:52,438
This is the place to get your feet wetif you were interested in Blues.
77
00:06:52,879 --> 00:06:57,077
Out of every window and doorwaycame laughter, smoke...
78
00:06:57,283 --> 00:06:58,944
and a solid stream of music.
79
00:06:59,385 --> 00:07:02,013
In a city where witchesare revered.
80
00:07:02,221 --> 00:07:04,951
Uncle Buddy paid respectsto Marita Bowes tomb.
81
00:07:05,024 --> 00:07:08,016
I kept my grandmother's prayer bookpinned to the inside of my t-shirt...
82
00:07:08,094 --> 00:07:09,618
next to my heart.
83
00:07:09,729 --> 00:07:14,166
Then Uncle Buddy gave me a quicktour where Storyville was years ago.
84
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,424
What used to be Congo Square...
85
00:07:47,633 --> 00:07:51,000
great unknown musicians
who will never be known...
86
00:07:51,237 --> 00:07:52,898
used to play here, Junior...
87
00:07:53,372 --> 00:07:55,932
long before Louis Armstrong...
88
00:07:56,175 --> 00:07:59,110
or Sidney Buchet or Joe Olive
or Jelly Roll Morton...
89
00:07:59,345 --> 00:08:01,142
this is where...
90
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:04,048
our people used to come.
91
00:08:04,917 --> 00:08:08,648
It was the only place where
they could play their music.
92
00:08:08,888 --> 00:08:10,150
Their music.
93
00:08:15,595 --> 00:08:17,222
Congo Square.
94
00:08:20,066 --> 00:08:22,227
Your roots run deep, boy.
95
00:09:27,867 --> 00:09:29,425
Make this right.
96
00:09:30,770 --> 00:09:32,533
Listen what I got.
97
00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:43,271
I'm wild, babe, I'm wild
98
00:09:44,083 --> 00:09:46,347
A lot of blues singers
came from Louisiana.
99
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:49,521
Lonny Johnson and Lead Belly
come from this side of the river.
100
00:09:49,589 --> 00:09:52,023
My uncle told me that he and a gangof boys would hop freights...
101
00:09:52,091 --> 00:09:54,787
going to New Orleans,St. Louis orjust going anywhere.
102
00:09:55,995 --> 00:09:59,590
The Scottsboro Boy's Rape Caseput the skids to that.
103
00:09:59,799 --> 00:10:02,290
Everything my uncle toldme had two sides to it...
104
00:10:02,368 --> 00:10:04,700
nothing could just be fun,this is the South...
105
00:10:05,104 --> 00:10:09,006
the South that created the Blues.You either laughed or cried.
106
00:10:12,044 --> 00:10:14,376
Boy, you in Mississippi now.
107
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,178
Now I wished that
108
00:10:31,464 --> 00:10:32,829
That's freedom.
109
00:10:33,499 --> 00:10:34,898
That's why I love the ocean.
110
00:10:36,002 --> 00:10:38,698
You damn sure can't pick
cotton on no ocean.
111
00:10:40,206 --> 00:10:42,868
You're lucky.
You're a city boy.
112
00:10:43,075 --> 00:10:45,669
Don't know nothing 'bout having'
to work hard.
113
00:10:55,521 --> 00:10:57,455
- How'd you get this car?
- What do you mean?
114
00:10:57,556 --> 00:10:59,649
Well, my mother said
you never had a job.
115
00:10:59,892 --> 00:11:01,382
Never had a job?
116
00:11:01,627 --> 00:11:05,154
Your mama saw me pick cotton.
Her and brother had a row to pick too.
117
00:11:05,631 --> 00:11:08,099
I stopped picking cotton
when I turned fifteen.
118
00:11:08,401 --> 00:11:10,198
Started hopping' trains.
119
00:11:11,103 --> 00:11:13,196
But I got this car B149.
120
00:11:14,373 --> 00:11:18,173
Lesson number one, never believe
nothing a woman tells you.
121
00:11:18,744 --> 00:11:20,541
Everybody was amazedthat Buddy Taylor...
122
00:11:20,613 --> 00:11:24,344
never spent time in Parchman StatePenitentiary or got lynched.
123
00:11:25,017 --> 00:11:26,678
Big Mama, my grandmother...
124
00:11:26,752 --> 00:11:30,483
was always afraid that someonewas going to call her to tell her son...
125
00:11:30,556 --> 00:11:33,616
was killed 'cause Buddyacted like the devil...
126
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:37,026
couldn't behave. He sho 'noughcouldn't. Lord have mercy!
127
00:11:38,698 --> 00:11:41,223
My mother is going to be mad
at you if I don't get to church.
128
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:42,524
Boy...
129
00:11:43,669 --> 00:11:46,797
you're only on this earth once,
so enjoy life.
130
00:11:47,907 --> 00:11:49,966
You got Mr. Charley always
on your back...
131
00:11:50,109 --> 00:11:52,634
and the preacher man singing
the blues about getting into heaven.
132
00:11:54,013 --> 00:11:56,106
One day you're gonna thank me.
133
00:12:05,858 --> 00:12:07,485
Tell Billy I'm gonna
come up and see him.
134
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,695
Tell him I'm gonna bring
Betty Murphy and Jill Brooks.
135
00:12:11,297 --> 00:12:14,789
They couldn't get enough of your boy
when he was running the streets.
136
00:12:21,006 --> 00:12:22,439
He don't want no ride.
137
00:12:23,008 --> 00:12:26,910
He walks all the way from Eastabuchie
just north of Hattiesburg...
138
00:12:27,146 --> 00:12:30,912
all the way to Parchman Prison to see
his son, who won't even talk to him.
139
00:12:31,250 --> 00:12:35,209
He does it four times a year
for the last five years.
140
00:12:46,398 --> 00:12:48,298
Put your luggage down, Junior.
141
00:12:48,367 --> 00:12:51,268
Pictures and postersof people like Muddy Waters...
142
00:12:51,504 --> 00:12:54,632
John Lee Hooker, Ma Rainyand Leroy Carr...
143
00:12:54,974 --> 00:12:58,501
and hundreds of other blues singerslived at his tiny shotgun house...
144
00:12:58,744 --> 00:13:02,180
which was the typical size and shapeof a blue singers living quarters.
145
00:13:02,715 --> 00:13:05,548
I ain't got but one bed.
So you gotta sleep at the bottom...
146
00:13:05,618 --> 00:13:06,744
I'm gonna sleep at the top.
147
00:13:07,019 --> 00:13:08,611
I want you to make yourself
at home.
148
00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:14,889
I gotta to run by a lady friend of my
and use her phone to call your momma...
149
00:13:15,094 --> 00:13:16,686
to let her know I got you.
150
00:13:21,267 --> 00:13:23,497
But I want you to make sure
you leave the door closed...
151
00:13:23,736 --> 00:13:26,227
'cause them mosquitoes
will run us out of here, boy.
152
00:13:26,438 --> 00:13:28,099
I'll be back in a minute, Slow.
153
00:13:33,245 --> 00:13:36,942
78's records were stacked inevery corner of his shotgun house...
154
00:13:37,082 --> 00:13:41,143
and I was gonna hear everyrecord over and over again.
155
00:13:41,921 --> 00:13:44,890
Some people wake up and have coffeeor a shot of whiskey...
156
00:13:45,090 --> 00:13:48,491
Buddy puts a 78 on anddances in underwear.
157
00:14:46,018 --> 00:14:47,349
Wake up, Junior!
158
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:49,885
Wake up, boy!
159
00:14:56,695 --> 00:14:58,560
This is my cut and run.
160
00:14:59,832 --> 00:15:03,029
In case I have to give a bad acting
monkey a close shave.
161
00:15:26,859 --> 00:15:28,918
Home
162
00:15:29,528 --> 00:15:34,056
Baby, don't you want to go
163
00:15:37,202 --> 00:15:39,170
Home
164
00:15:39,838 --> 00:15:43,501
Baby, don't you want to go
165
00:17:22,408 --> 00:17:24,808
I got a letter this morning
166
00:17:25,077 --> 00:17:27,841
How do you reckon it read?
167
00:17:28,514 --> 00:17:30,675

You know I grabbed my suitcase
173
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,670
I took on down the road
174
00:17:56,942 --> 00:17:58,842
When I got there
175
00:17:59,111 --> 00:18:01,375
She was layingOn the cooling board
176
00:18:01,580 --> 00:18:03,639
I grabbed my suitcase
177
00:18:03,882 --> 00:18:06,442
I said I took on down the road
178
00:18:09,088 --> 00:18:13,354
Blues it's not a play thing
like people think it is...
179
00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:17,051
like the youngsters today
that take anything...
180
00:18:17,296 --> 00:18:19,025
and make the Blues out of it.
181
00:18:19,264 --> 00:18:24,065
Any little something
and they it's Blues.
182
00:18:24,436 --> 00:18:25,596
No, it's not.
183
00:18:26,572 --> 00:18:29,200
Ain't but one kind of Blues.
184
00:18:30,509 --> 00:18:33,444
And that consists between...
185
00:18:34,313 --> 00:18:37,282
male and female and St. Louis.
186
00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:41,677
Two people supposed to be in love...
187
00:18:41,854 --> 00:18:44,652
when one or the other...
188
00:18:44,990 --> 00:18:49,188
deceive the other.
Hurt the love.
189
00:18:51,096 --> 00:18:53,656
Sometimes, that kind of Blues...
190
00:18:54,433 --> 00:18:57,834
will make them even kill
one another...
191
00:18:58,403 --> 00:19:00,530
or do anything...
192
00:19:00,772 --> 00:19:04,105
that kind of love
that goes here.
193
00:19:04,810 --> 00:19:06,107
On this side.
194
00:19:07,546 --> 00:19:11,642
That's where the Blues started.
Not on this side, on this over here.
195
00:19:13,652 --> 00:19:16,883
That's the Blues.
You know I don't feel so bad
196
00:19:17,022 --> 00:19:19,258
Tell that good Lord son without
197
00:19:19,258 --> 00:19:21,089
I didn't have a soul
198
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,419
To throw my arms around
199
00:19:23,695 --> 00:19:25,822
I didn't feel so bad
200
00:19:26,098 --> 00:19:28,896
Tell that good Lord son without
201
00:19:31,470 --> 00:19:34,530
I said I didn't have a soul
202
00:19:34,873 --> 00:19:37,967
To throw my arms around
203
00:19:40,479 --> 00:19:43,676
You know it's so hard to love
204
00:19:43,982 --> 00:19:46,143
Someone who don't love you
205
00:19:46,418 --> 00:19:48,477
Don't look like it satisfaction
206
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,585
Don't care what you do
207
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:52,756
It's so hard to love
208
00:19:53,091 --> 00:19:55,855
Someone who don't love you
209
00:19:58,697 --> 00:20:01,666
Don't look like it satisfaction
210
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,867
Don't care what you do
211
00:20:21,787 --> 00:20:22,947
Where's the toilet?
212
00:20:23,322 --> 00:20:24,380
Out back.
213
00:20:37,202 --> 00:20:40,194
Buddy lived in a museumof blues memorabilia.
214
00:20:40,739 --> 00:20:44,903
I asked then why he was so worriedabout the blues passing away.
215
00:20:45,544 --> 00:20:49,071
I thought then that looking at thesemen and women that they got nothing...
216
00:20:49,314 --> 00:20:52,044
for this music and talent.While they, the record companies...
217
00:20:52,251 --> 00:20:54,344
made out like a fat rat.
218
00:23:10,155 --> 00:23:12,180
Up above my head
219
00:23:12,791 --> 00:23:15,259
I hear music in the air
220
00:23:15,594 --> 00:23:17,858
Up above my head
221
00:23:18,430 --> 00:23:20,660
I hear music in the air
222
00:23:21,299 --> 00:23:23,597
Up above my head
223
00:23:24,035 --> 00:23:26,435
I hear music in the air
224
00:23:27,472 --> 00:23:29,804
I really do believeI really do believe
225
00:23:29,941 --> 00:23:31,909
There's a heaven somewhere
226
00:23:32,611 --> 00:23:34,636
Only in my room
227
00:23:35,814 --> 00:23:37,475
Music everywhere
228
00:23:38,116 --> 00:23:40,311
Only in my room
229
00:23:40,986 --> 00:23:43,181
There's music everywhere
230
00:23:43,855 --> 00:23:47,052
Only in my room
231
00:23:47,325 --> 00:23:49,122
Music everywhere
232
00:23:49,361 --> 00:23:52,455
I really do believeI really do believe
233
00:23:52,731 --> 00:23:54,358
There's a heaven somewhere
234
00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:57,165
Up above my head
235
00:23:57,936 --> 00:24:00,302
I hear music in the air
236
00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:03,603
Up above my head
237
00:24:03,875 --> 00:24:06,139
I hear music in the air
238
00:24:06,511 --> 00:24:09,708
Up above my head
239
00:24:09,948 --> 00:24:12,109
Music in the air
240
00:24:12,651 --> 00:24:15,017
I really do believeI really do believe
241
00:24:15,086 --> 00:24:16,713
There's a heaven somewhere
242
00:24:16,988 --> 00:24:19,821
Heaven somewhere
243
00:24:20,826 --> 00:24:23,386
He would play Sister RosettaTharpe's Precious Memory...
244
00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:24,986
first thing in the morning.
245
00:24:25,397 --> 00:24:28,093
Sister Rosetta Tharpe sangin the church when she was a girl...
246
00:24:28,166 --> 00:24:31,294
and switched to Blues,and went back to singing Gospel.
247
00:24:41,112 --> 00:24:43,307
That is Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
248
00:24:46,451 --> 00:24:48,112
And that's Mammie Smith.
249
00:24:48,753 --> 00:24:52,416
God, so many women called themselves
some kind of Smith or something...
250
00:24:52,491 --> 00:24:55,722
Clara Smith, Trixie Smith,
Bessie Smith, and so on.
251
00:24:56,561 --> 00:24:57,858
Mamie Smith.
252
00:24:57,996 --> 00:25:00,021
Lord, Lord
253
00:25:00,232 --> 00:25:04,100
Lord, Lord, Lord
254
00:25:04,469 --> 00:25:07,165
The first womanto record the blues.
255
00:25:07,706 --> 00:25:09,901
Lord, Lord
256
00:25:10,275 --> 00:25:14,177
Lord, Lord, Lord
257
00:25:25,290 --> 00:25:26,723
It was the beginning...
258
00:25:27,425 --> 00:25:28,653
and the end.
259
00:25:30,996 --> 00:25:34,090
Record company got the blues out,
then they started telling people...
260
00:25:34,165 --> 00:25:35,792
what they should like.
261
00:25:40,171 --> 00:25:43,766
But the women records
were the first ones to really sell.
262
00:25:43,975 --> 00:25:47,069
They were doing real good for about
ten years until the depression hit.
263
00:25:48,847 --> 00:25:52,214
Most of them came from
Minstrel shows.
264
00:25:52,450 --> 00:25:53,883
Listen to Ma Rainey.
265
00:25:59,925 --> 00:26:03,224
I'm so unhappy
266
00:26:03,595 --> 00:26:06,325
I feel so fool
267
00:26:07,165 --> 00:26:12,193
I'll always be so mad
268
00:26:14,372 --> 00:26:17,432
I made a See
269
00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:20,707
Right from the start
270
00:26:20,779 --> 00:26:26,877
Always been so hard to find
271
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,785
Although this letter
272
00:26:32,157 --> 00:26:34,853
That I'll write
273
00:26:34,926 --> 00:26:38,885
I hope you'll remember
274
00:26:39,331 --> 00:26:43,461
When you read it, See See
275
00:26:44,235 --> 00:26:47,068
See
276
00:26:47,138 --> 00:26:50,005
See Rider
277
00:26:51,343 --> 00:26:53,903
Ma Rainey wasn'ta juke joint performer.
278
00:26:54,145 --> 00:26:57,273
She worked stages and dancehallsand vaudeville.
279
00:26:57,649 --> 00:27:00,482
The theater owners bookingassociation, TOBA...
280
00:27:00,719 --> 00:27:03,210
booked black entertainersfor a circuit of theaters...
281
00:27:03,288 --> 00:27:05,051
and variety show houses.
282
00:27:05,290 --> 00:27:09,090
Ma Rainey had the best musiciansand writers supporting her...
283
00:27:09,327 --> 00:27:11,557
Louis Armstrong, Charlie Green.
284
00:27:11,830 --> 00:27:15,698
And writers like Thomas Dorsey,Perry Bradford, and Chris Smith.
285
00:27:24,042 --> 00:27:26,510
When you lose your money
286
00:27:27,612 --> 00:27:32,242
Don't lose your mind
287
00:27:33,718 --> 00:27:36,346
When you lose your money
288
00:27:37,455 --> 00:27:42,085
Don't lose your mind
289
00:27:43,595 --> 00:27:46,325
When you lose your good man
290
00:27:47,098 --> 00:27:51,000
Please don't mess with mine
291
00:27:51,069 --> 00:27:56,234
I don't hurt anymore
292
00:27:57,842 --> 00:28:01,539
All my teardrops are dried
293
00:28:03,515 --> 00:28:07,007
No more walking' the floor
294
00:28:08,653 --> 00:28:13,181
With that burning' inside
295
00:28:14,092 --> 00:28:18,859
Just to think it could be
296
00:28:20,098 --> 00:28:23,590
Time has opened the door
297
00:28:25,136 --> 00:28:29,630
And at last I am free
298
00:28:30,675 --> 00:28:35,044
I don't hurt anymore
299
00:28:37,048 --> 00:28:40,711
No use to deny
300
00:28:41,019 --> 00:28:43,613
I wanted to die
301
00:28:44,622 --> 00:28:48,649
The day you said we were thru
302
00:28:49,327 --> 00:28:54,697
But now that I findYou're out of my mind
303
00:28:55,033 --> 00:28:59,561
I can't believe that it's true
304
00:28:59,637 --> 00:29:03,596
I've forgotten somehow
305
00:29:04,409 --> 00:29:08,743
That I cared so before
306
00:29:10,048 --> 00:29:14,712
And it's wonderful now
307
00:29:15,019 --> 00:29:17,715
I don't hurt anymore
308
00:29:18,123 --> 00:29:20,455
Those were some mean women,
boy.
309
00:29:20,525 --> 00:29:23,983
They could get low
'nough ta crawl unda a snake.
310
00:29:32,570 --> 00:29:36,028
I got nipplesOn my teats
311
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:40,211
I know a girl that can fix us
some breakfast.
312
00:29:41,112 --> 00:29:43,444
I pretend like I didn't hear it.
313
00:29:43,748 --> 00:29:46,649
Lucille Boganwas born Bessie Jackson.
314
00:29:46,851 --> 00:29:49,979
Her lyrics would makethe Marquis de Sade blush.
315
00:29:50,221 --> 00:29:51,950
Gay and lesbian themewere expressed...
316
00:29:52,023 --> 00:29:54,924
in songs by Ma Rainyand Leroy Carr.
317
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,755
Later I would sneak to hearRed Foxx and Moms Mabley.
318
00:29:59,030 --> 00:30:01,191
I learned a lot aboutbody parts.
319
00:30:04,435 --> 00:30:06,403
Boy, we got to get you a hat.
320
00:30:06,638 --> 00:30:08,936
You can't be walking around
here bare headed like that.
321
00:30:09,174 --> 00:30:12,405
- What'd my mother say?
- The usual fuss.
322
00:30:14,746 --> 00:30:16,145
Scoot on over.
323
00:30:33,798 --> 00:30:35,197
Come on, Junior.
324
00:30:50,315 --> 00:30:51,373
Junior...
325
00:30:53,551 --> 00:30:55,109
this is Peaches.
326
00:30:55,186 --> 00:30:59,020
The finest woman, Lord have mercy,
God let walk this earth.
327
00:30:59,524 --> 00:31:01,754
This's my sister's boy.
328
00:31:01,993 --> 00:31:03,961
I remember your sister.
329
00:31:04,195 --> 00:31:06,026
He takes after his Daddy.
330
00:31:06,264 --> 00:31:07,288
Hi.
331
00:31:07,532 --> 00:31:09,659
Hi. You knew my daddy?
332
00:31:09,934 --> 00:31:13,802
Your father's cousin married
my third cousin.
333
00:31:14,038 --> 00:31:16,370
That must make
you something to me.
334
00:31:16,608 --> 00:31:19,076
In the South, everybody is related,
Junior.
335
00:31:19,310 --> 00:31:22,746
That's why we call everybody,
ain't no call?
336
00:31:23,615 --> 00:31:25,344
Sit down, boy.
337
00:31:27,018 --> 00:31:29,316
I known your mum has gone
to work.
338
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,579
Why did you get that boy
following you for?
339
00:31:31,823 --> 00:31:35,520
- To teach him bad habits?
- I'm giving him wisdom.
340
00:31:35,860 --> 00:31:40,695
What do you know except promise
a woman a whole bunch of lies?
341
00:31:41,099 --> 00:31:43,465
But he is learning from a master.
342
00:31:47,972 --> 00:31:50,805
If you cross your heart to someone
343
00:31:52,610 --> 00:31:55,272
You're not supposed to tell a lie
344
00:32:01,319 --> 00:32:05,312
If you cross your heart to someone
345
00:32:07,125 --> 00:32:10,356
You're not supposed to tell a lie
346
00:32:15,934 --> 00:32:18,732
Before you say a wrong
347
00:32:18,937 --> 00:32:20,837
Or either do wrong
348
00:32:21,072 --> 00:32:23,404
It have to be so long
349
00:32:23,574 --> 00:32:25,701
Or either goodbye
350
00:32:29,647 --> 00:32:32,912
I remember hearingSonny Boy Williamson's song...
351
00:32:33,117 --> 00:32:34,641
"Cross my Heart".
352
00:32:34,986 --> 00:32:38,945
I always thought that Sonny Boyhad Uncle Buddy in mind.
353
00:32:39,223 --> 00:32:42,420
He couldn't be truthful around womenand they knew it.
354
00:32:46,497 --> 00:32:47,794
Yes
355
00:32:48,232 --> 00:32:51,724
The first time I crossed my heart
356
00:32:52,270 --> 00:32:54,636
I was by your bedside
357
00:32:54,906 --> 00:32:56,931
Down on my knees
358
00:32:58,710 --> 00:33:00,371
Sure enough, may
359
00:33:03,948 --> 00:33:06,940
And I know the difference between
360
00:33:07,018 --> 00:33:09,646
I knew I'd have to beg you
361
00:33:09,887 --> 00:33:13,687
Please, darling'Help me please
362
00:33:33,711 --> 00:33:37,545
Uncle Buddy heard Sonny Boywhen he was staying in Clarksdale...
363
00:33:37,749 --> 00:33:39,876
he would listen to Sonny Boyon "The King Biscuit Show"...
364
00:33:39,951 --> 00:33:41,578
broadcasting from Helena,Arkansas.
365
00:33:57,869 --> 00:34:01,862
Rice Miller took the real Sonny BoyWilliamson's name.
366
00:34:02,106 --> 00:34:04,301
Both men were greatharmonica players...
367
00:34:04,542 --> 00:34:07,272
bluesmen would borrow lyricsand techniques...
368
00:34:07,512 --> 00:34:11,004
but to take another person'sidentity was certainly not the norm.
369
00:34:11,816 --> 00:34:14,216
The first Sonny Boywent up to Chicago...
370
00:34:14,452 --> 00:34:18,752
like Robert Johnson, he was killedsupposedly by a jealous husband.
371
00:34:20,658 --> 00:34:23,149
It's raining outdoor darling
372
00:34:23,528 --> 00:34:25,621
So come on in this house
373
00:34:27,532 --> 00:34:30,228
You know it's raining outdoor, baby
374
00:34:30,535 --> 00:34:32,765
So come on in this house
375
00:34:34,772 --> 00:34:37,764
Because you know if you get wetLike gonna call you
376
00:34:38,009 --> 00:34:40,375
A daughter beautiful around this bunch
377
00:34:42,013 --> 00:34:43,571
You my baby
378
00:34:44,515 --> 00:34:47,177
I don't want my child to get wet
379
00:34:48,686 --> 00:34:51,177
You know you my baby
380
00:34:51,255 --> 00:34:54,088
I don't want my child to get wet
381
00:34:56,694 --> 00:35:01,188
I know the daughter is beautifulBut I take care of
382
00:35:02,934 --> 00:35:06,461
Times like this,Buddy made me not like him.
383
00:35:06,704 --> 00:35:08,638
Or anything connected with him.
384
00:35:10,975 --> 00:35:13,034
I'm trying to bea near church here...
385
00:35:13,277 --> 00:35:16,713
and he comes with a guitarswinging on the shoulder...
386
00:35:16,781 --> 00:35:18,681
I got so mad...
387
00:35:18,916 --> 00:35:21,544
Hey we wish some Godhearing' them kids.
388
00:35:21,819 --> 00:35:25,516
I said: What's that you looking on?
Ain't that no one's kin...
389
00:35:25,756 --> 00:35:31,490
and spring but the old blues.Next day, I pray and I hear a sound...
390
00:35:31,729 --> 00:35:34,664
so good,I didn't want so much talk.
391
00:35:34,732 --> 00:35:37,895
I didn't want people to kiss me,I was trying to listen.
392
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,463
You'll find my textin the 14th chapter...
393
00:36:47,071 --> 00:36:49,039
of St. Luke.
394
00:36:49,307 --> 00:36:51,332
And than he did the book words...
395
00:36:51,642 --> 00:36:55,578
The words of the text."And he sat with the servants...
396
00:36:55,846 --> 00:36:58,178
and warmed himself at the fire.
397
00:36:58,449 --> 00:37:01,714
Servant warmingby the devil's fire.
398
00:37:01,953 --> 00:37:06,083
My friend, I want a pieceupon your mind tonight...
399
00:37:06,357 --> 00:37:09,019
on the careless and unconcernedChristians...
400
00:37:09,260 --> 00:37:12,923
who are always taking sidesin world affairs.
401
00:37:12,997 --> 00:37:13,861
Halleluiah!
402
00:37:13,931 --> 00:37:16,957
I think it is a sinand a shame...
403
00:37:17,201 --> 00:37:20,466
when so many Christiansthat are not even born again...
404
00:37:20,738 --> 00:37:24,367
and are in sin, not saying anythingfor the Glory of Heaven.
405
00:37:24,842 --> 00:37:29,211
Then try to convince methat you've be born again.
406
00:37:29,847 --> 00:37:32,042
I declare you tonight...
407
00:37:32,350 --> 00:37:35,513
and pray to everyonethat is born again...
408
00:37:35,786 --> 00:37:37,981
to let your light shine.
409
00:37:38,222 --> 00:37:42,420
You've got to be careful howyou talk, how you act...
410
00:37:43,294 --> 00:37:46,752
and then be carefulabout the companies you keep.
411
00:37:47,365 --> 00:37:50,857
So many preacherscome out here and are in sin.
412
00:37:51,602 --> 00:37:55,129
I have no doubt in my mindabout you've been sent.
413
00:37:55,406 --> 00:37:58,000
But the question is:Who sent you?
414
00:37:58,075 --> 00:38:01,806
Everybody that was sentwas sent on the word of God.
415
00:38:02,079 --> 00:38:04,138
They have been sent by my Lord.
416
00:38:04,348 --> 00:38:06,509
Because ifyou have been sent by my Lord...
417
00:38:06,751 --> 00:38:10,084
it makes you act right.It makes you live right.
418
00:38:10,588 --> 00:38:14,649
Then I declare you tonightthat I think it is a shame...
419
00:38:14,959 --> 00:38:18,986
that someone here have beendrinking more whisky than sinners.
420
00:38:19,263 --> 00:38:22,164
Something thata hypocrite sinner would do.
421
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,095
There a time to lead somebody.
422
00:38:24,168 --> 00:38:27,467
You have to get right yourself beforeyou can lead anybody else.
423
00:38:27,705 --> 00:38:29,605
The blind can lead the blind.
424
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,900
But the blind leads the blindto the dark ditch.
425
00:38:33,177 --> 00:38:35,771
Before you try toget somebody right...
426
00:38:36,013 --> 00:38:37,571
get right yourself.
427
00:38:37,848 --> 00:38:40,715
Then when you get right,you can tell others to get right.
428
00:38:40,951 --> 00:38:44,011
If I were you, I would stopwarming by the devil's fire.
429
00:39:19,290 --> 00:39:21,690
I'm aching' all over, babyBelieve I got the pneumonia
430
00:39:21,759 --> 00:39:25,957
Blind Lemon Jefferson was bornin Couchman, Texas in 1887.
431
00:39:26,731 --> 00:39:30,462
Deep Ellum to levee camps and all inbetween he traveled as a blind man...
432
00:39:30,534 --> 00:39:32,661
to support his wife and child.
433
00:39:32,903 --> 00:39:35,167
He recorded religious songsunder another name...
434
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,173
didn't want to mix the two.
435
00:39:37,408 --> 00:39:41,003
After recording "Pneumonia Blues"he died in a snow storm...
436
00:39:41,078 --> 00:39:42,705
of a heart attack.
437
00:39:43,047 --> 00:39:45,379
Between 1926 and 1929...
438
00:39:45,649 --> 00:39:48,413
he recorded nearlya hundred songs.
439
00:39:59,463 --> 00:40:03,490
How did people like Blind LemonJefferson, and Snook Eaglin survive?
440
00:40:03,734 --> 00:40:07,898
There were many others like WillieJohnson, Pearly Brown and Gary Davis.
441
00:40:08,139 --> 00:40:11,233
Ever wonder why all the blind bluessingers come from the Southeast?
442
00:40:11,375 --> 00:40:13,434
Sonny Terry, Lemon Jefferson...
443
00:40:13,677 --> 00:40:16,168
Sleepy Joe Estes, Blind Blake...
444
00:40:16,447 --> 00:40:19,416
Mc Tell, Fuller,Simmie Dooley, Ray Charles.
445
00:40:19,650 --> 00:40:22,517
Boy, I've been looking
all over for you.
446
00:40:22,753 --> 00:40:24,778
Come on 'round this car
and get 'n ' here.
447
00:40:46,310 --> 00:40:49,609
Wake up babyAnd get your big leg off of mine.
448
00:40:50,848 --> 00:40:54,545
Wake up babyAnd get your big leg off of mine.
449
00:40:55,352 --> 00:40:59,083
Say "hey baby", let the good manChange his mind.
450
00:41:02,393 --> 00:41:04,384
You can't be mad at me.
451
00:41:04,962 --> 00:41:07,089
They sho 'nough will
452
00:41:07,364 --> 00:41:09,992
They sho 'nough will
453
00:41:11,502 --> 00:41:12,969
Let's go see a movie.
454
00:41:13,471 --> 00:41:15,132
You know that movie "Shane"?
455
00:41:15,372 --> 00:41:18,239
I seen that and that movie
High Noon about a dozen times.
456
00:41:18,642 --> 00:41:22,703
I like Shit Kickers better.
They're for men.
457
00:41:24,248 --> 00:41:25,909
Why do you do bad things?
458
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,017
You'll be surprised who you find
in heaven and who you find in hell.
459
00:41:51,942 --> 00:41:53,603
Come on and go with me,
girl.
460
00:41:53,844 --> 00:41:56,506
Naw, you smell like you've
been with another woman.
461
00:41:57,515 --> 00:41:59,710
Now, you know you're
the only woman in my life.
462
00:41:59,950 --> 00:42:01,713
Buddy Taylor lie like a rug.
463
00:42:02,052 --> 00:42:05,044
You might be able to fool
them other old country gals, but...
464
00:42:05,289 --> 00:42:07,450
I ain't paying you no mind.
465
00:42:07,925 --> 00:42:10,917
Then why don't you invite
me over to dinner?
466
00:42:11,061 --> 00:42:13,359
I might be fixing' something.
467
00:42:13,731 --> 00:42:15,528
Maybe I'll call you over.
468
00:42:19,436 --> 00:42:24,169
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
469
00:42:27,711 --> 00:42:30,578
Have been days
470
00:42:30,848 --> 00:42:33,339
I didn't know your name
471
00:42:34,985 --> 00:42:39,581
Why should I worry and cry in vain
472
00:42:39,857 --> 00:42:42,451
But now she's gone
473
00:42:42,726 --> 00:42:44,990
And I ain't worry
474
00:42:45,930 --> 00:42:50,890
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
475
00:42:54,405 --> 00:42:57,033
I went to the station
476
00:42:57,308 --> 00:42:59,538
Down in the yard
477
00:43:00,110 --> 00:43:03,079
Gonna get me a freight train
478
00:43:03,347 --> 00:43:05,838
Worked and got to home
479
00:43:06,150 --> 00:43:08,846
But now she's gone
480
00:43:09,119 --> 00:43:11,781
And I ain't worry
481
00:43:12,122 --> 00:43:16,821
I'm sitting on top of the world
482
00:43:18,362 --> 00:43:22,162
This is Dockery plantation where SamChatmon and his brother Charlie Patton...
483
00:43:22,399 --> 00:43:23,696
worked the land.
484
00:43:23,968 --> 00:43:27,995
I saw Dockery plantation again yearslater when I was doing research.
485
00:43:28,238 --> 00:43:31,969
I imagined Charlie Patton growing' upout of the ground like cotton seed...
486
00:43:32,042 --> 00:43:34,169
and bursting' out with his guitar.
487
00:44:04,274 --> 00:44:08,176
I found this back in the old house
that got flooded back in 1927.
488
00:44:11,048 --> 00:44:12,345
These letters?
489
00:44:13,450 --> 00:44:15,418
That's the book I'm writing.
490
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,016
Is it done?
491
00:44:17,221 --> 00:44:18,210
No.
492
00:44:18,455 --> 00:44:20,480
I got the middle but no beginning
and no ending.
493
00:44:22,059 --> 00:44:23,390
What's it about?
494
00:44:23,661 --> 00:44:26,926
It's about why the blues
got started here in the South.
495
00:44:27,798 --> 00:44:30,323
It talks about
its roots in Africa.
496
00:44:30,401 --> 00:44:33,097
Long before the renaissancetook shape in Harlem...
497
00:44:33,337 --> 00:44:36,397
the blues emerged shortly afterthe end of reconstruction...
498
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,232
a period when former slaves...
499
00:44:38,308 --> 00:44:40,276
had experiencedtheir greatest opportunity...
500
00:44:40,544 --> 00:44:42,239
to be in controlof their own destiny.
501
00:44:42,446 --> 00:44:45,711
It was the time of Frederick Douglass,the elder statesmen...
502
00:44:45,983 --> 00:44:49,646
Aida B. Wells,and a young W.E.B. DuBois.
503
00:44:49,887 --> 00:44:53,050
You could order a three dollar guitarfrom a Sears 'n' Roebuck catalog.
504
00:44:53,323 --> 00:44:56,759
It's not strange how the guitarbecame the instrument of choice.
505
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,157
It was similar to an Africanstring instrument, the goje.
506
00:45:00,798 --> 00:45:04,632
This new American music startedin areas of the South...
507
00:45:04,702 --> 00:45:06,499
where people worked the hardest.
508
00:45:06,737 --> 00:45:10,173
The delta produced a particularflavor and characteristic.
509
00:45:10,407 --> 00:45:13,467
Rough and less mellowlike in the Southeast.
510
00:45:15,245 --> 00:45:18,078
Or as a folksier stylein the Southwest.
511
00:45:20,551 --> 00:45:24,510
William Christopher Handywas born in Florence, Alabama...
512
00:45:24,755 --> 00:45:27,189
November 16, 1873.
513
00:45:27,624 --> 00:45:31,082
His father, a minister,wanted him to become one as well.
514
00:45:31,695 --> 00:45:34,960
But W.C. Handy was benton becoming a musician.
515
00:45:36,100 --> 00:45:39,831
He was the first personto publish the blues and years later...
516
00:45:39,903 --> 00:45:43,771
after being cheated by a publisher,formed his own publishing company.
517
00:45:52,382 --> 00:45:57,479
I hate to hear that trainRolling on down the track
518
00:46:00,491 --> 00:46:06,123
I hate to hear that trainRolling on down the track
519
00:46:08,332 --> 00:46:12,462
He heard this new music that was beingplayed by the poor working class...
520
00:46:12,703 --> 00:46:16,195
one night at the train stationin Tutwiler, Mississippi.
521
00:46:16,507 --> 00:46:18,805
He heard a manplaying the guitar...
522
00:46:19,042 --> 00:46:20,873
who was on his way to Moorhead,Mississippi...
523
00:46:20,944 --> 00:46:24,038
where two trains crossed each other,the Southern and the Dog.
524
00:46:24,915 --> 00:46:27,213
The haunting lyrics stayed with him.
525
00:46:27,484 --> 00:46:31,386
From this came W.C. Handy's"Yellow Dog Blues."
526
00:46:31,622 --> 00:46:33,089
The language of the blues...
527
00:46:33,357 --> 00:46:37,885
like the poetry of Poe Lawrence Dunbarand later Sterling Brown...
528
00:46:38,128 --> 00:46:40,426
was often looked down uponand criticized...
529
00:46:40,497 --> 00:46:42,727
by the more sophisticatedblack population.
530
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,302
One night,after leaving my office...
531
00:46:47,538 --> 00:46:53,033
I passed by PeeWees Saloon.Next to it was a barber shop.
532
00:46:53,610 --> 00:46:57,341
This barber shop was open 7 toabout 2 o'clock in the morning', I said...
533
00:46:57,414 --> 00:46:59,006
"Come on, let's go home.
534
00:47:00,884 --> 00:47:04,342
Whatcha staying up so late for?"He says...
535
00:47:05,589 --> 00:47:08,456
"I haven't closed up cause ain'tnobody got killed yet".
536
00:47:08,725 --> 00:47:12,217
And I struck myself and said:"That's it!"
537
00:47:12,496 --> 00:47:17,729
And I went home and wrote the wordsto The Beale Street Blues At Night.
538
00:47:26,877 --> 00:47:31,576
I've seen the lights of gay Broadway
539
00:47:35,219 --> 00:47:40,088
Old Market StreetDown by the Frisco Bay
540
00:47:42,392 --> 00:47:44,690
I've strolled the Prado
541
00:47:45,662 --> 00:47:48,460
I've gambled on the Bourse
542
00:47:51,935 --> 00:47:57,271
The seven wondersOf the world I've seen
543
00:48:00,410 --> 00:48:04,972
And many are the places I have been
544
00:48:07,451 --> 00:48:08,975
Take my advice
545
00:48:09,052 --> 00:48:13,216
Folks And see Beale Street first!
546
00:48:15,993 --> 00:48:20,623
When you speak of the blues thatcarry 3 lines stanzas...
547
00:48:20,898 --> 00:48:23,492
and they want to tellthe story of the blues.
548
00:48:23,734 --> 00:48:27,727
We can't tell it withoutthe story of Joe Turner...
549
00:48:28,005 --> 00:48:30,803
who pressed negros into gambling...
550
00:48:31,041 --> 00:48:34,010
and took them down the Mississippiriver to the farms.
551
00:48:34,311 --> 00:48:37,906
They had decoys thatlured negros in Memphis...
552
00:48:38,148 --> 00:48:42,642
to crap games where they werearrested and put in prison.
553
00:48:43,020 --> 00:48:46,649
Women looking for their husbandswho were late coming home would ask...
554
00:48:46,723 --> 00:48:50,352
"I wonder where my husband is.Then they'd be told...
555
00:48:50,427 --> 00:48:54,386
"Haven't you heard about Joe Turner?He's been here and gone".
556
00:48:55,065 --> 00:48:59,559
They tell me Joe Turner'Come and gone
557
00:48:59,836 --> 00:49:05,866
Oh, Lordy Tell me Joe Turner'Come and gone
558
00:49:05,943 --> 00:49:08,173
Oh, Lordy
559
00:49:08,312 --> 00:49:14,114
Got my man and gone
560
00:49:14,184 --> 00:49:18,587
He come with forty links of chain
561
00:49:18,655 --> 00:49:20,850
Oh, Lordy
562
00:49:21,124 --> 00:49:25,026
Come with forty links of chain
563
00:49:25,095 --> 00:49:27,063
Oh, Lordy
564
00:49:27,197 --> 00:49:32,999
Got my man and gone
565
00:49:35,172 --> 00:49:37,834
We going to Honey Boy's house.
566
00:49:38,075 --> 00:49:39,099
Come on.
567
00:49:42,079 --> 00:49:43,808
Look like it's going to rain.
568
00:49:48,652 --> 00:49:50,051
Honey Boy!
569
00:49:50,554 --> 00:49:52,954
Mr. Goodman, how you doing', sir?
570
00:49:54,491 --> 00:49:56,584
This is my nephew, Junior.
He's eleven years old.
571
00:49:56,793 --> 00:49:59,421
This is Mr. Goodman, one of the
greatest guitar players ever.
572
00:50:00,764 --> 00:50:02,925
He played with the Red Tops
here in Vicksburg.
573
00:50:03,633 --> 00:50:06,864
That boy that you last mentored
is playing tonight at the Blue Room.
574
00:50:09,673 --> 00:50:10,605
Honey Boy!
575
00:50:10,874 --> 00:50:13,240
I knew you wouldn't desert me.
576
00:50:13,677 --> 00:50:14,905
Who you got with you?
577
00:50:15,178 --> 00:50:17,703
This's my nephew.
He's eleven years old.
578
00:50:17,948 --> 00:50:19,438
You from California.
579
00:50:20,984 --> 00:50:23,885
- Don't look at me like I'm crazy.
- How did you know that?
580
00:50:24,321 --> 00:50:25,948
I know when you left from here.
581
00:50:26,023 --> 00:50:28,423
You was born across from
the old train station.
582
00:50:28,492 --> 00:50:32,223
- How you know so much about me?
- Boy, this is the south.
583
00:50:32,429 --> 00:50:35,728
I wish he could stay here long enough
for you teach him how to play a guitar.
584
00:50:36,566 --> 00:50:40,024
He saw Charlie Patton,
Robert Johnson and Son House play.
585
00:50:40,904 --> 00:50:43,304
He learned from the blues players.
586
00:50:44,241 --> 00:50:46,368
It'd be great if you can pass
on down to him.
587
00:50:46,643 --> 00:50:50,909
It's a shame young people don't know
anything about Patton or the other folk.
588
00:50:51,681 --> 00:50:54,707
All you young folk think about
is rock n roll.
589
00:50:54,918 --> 00:50:57,512
It's your music and
you're gonna lose it.
590
00:50:58,889 --> 00:51:03,019
I came to realize everyone hada guitar and was basically self-taught.
591
00:51:03,393 --> 00:51:05,987
They were mastersand great artists.
592
00:51:06,263 --> 00:51:10,222
I looked at Blind Honey Boyand people like Mississippi John Hurt...
593
00:51:10,467 --> 00:51:12,594
and marveled at their artistry.
594
00:51:14,438 --> 00:51:16,463
Whoa, gal
595
00:51:17,574 --> 00:51:20,134
Please don't leave me alone
596
00:51:24,681 --> 00:51:30,142
Death never takesNo vacation in this land
597
00:51:32,589 --> 00:51:36,525
He comes into your houseAnd he won't stay long
598
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:41,324
You look in the bedTo find everybody gone
599
00:51:42,165 --> 00:51:47,467
Death never takesNo vacation in this land
600
00:51:52,576 --> 00:51:55,204
Well all you ladies gather 'round
601
00:51:55,312 --> 00:51:59,214
That good sweet candy man's in townIt's the candy man
602
00:51:59,549 --> 00:52:01,210
Candy man
603
00:52:07,224 --> 00:52:09,454
He likes a stickOf candy just nine inch long
604
00:52:09,559 --> 00:52:13,325
He sells as fast a hog can chew his cornIt's the candy man
605
00:52:13,730 --> 00:52:15,220
Candy man
606
00:52:21,004 --> 00:52:23,336
All heard what sister Johnson said
607
00:52:23,607 --> 00:52:27,441
She always takes a candy stick to bedIt's the candy man
608
00:52:27,744 --> 00:52:29,439
The candy man
609
00:52:33,683 --> 00:52:36,345
You know you can't spendWhat you ain't got
610
00:52:37,053 --> 00:52:40,386
Can't lose some new girlYou never had
611
00:52:47,597 --> 00:52:49,360
Money in the bank
612
00:52:50,700 --> 00:52:53,726
But I got bustedPeople ain't that bad?
613
00:53:00,911 --> 00:53:02,936
I had money in the bank
614
00:53:04,214 --> 00:53:07,342
But I got bustedPeople ain't that bad?
615
00:53:14,090 --> 00:53:16,650
You know you can't spendWhat you ain't got
616
00:53:17,594 --> 00:53:20,722
Can't lose some new girl that
You ain't never had
617
00:53:28,138 --> 00:53:29,765
Hey, baby
618
00:53:31,575 --> 00:53:34,772
Don't throw your love on meSo strong
619
00:53:39,282 --> 00:53:41,250
Hey, baby
620
00:53:44,487 --> 00:53:47,888
Don't throw your love on meSo strong
621
00:53:53,530 --> 00:53:56,522
You know your love is like a faucet
622
00:53:57,467 --> 00:54:00,868
You can turn it off and on
623
00:54:02,205 --> 00:54:06,301
To say you play the blues
is a serious thing.
624
00:54:07,244 --> 00:54:10,543
Violence and self-destructionwas part and parcel.
625
00:54:10,780 --> 00:54:13,078
Bessie Smith bled to deathafter a car accident.
626
00:54:13,383 --> 00:54:15,817
Leroy Carr died youngof alcoholism.
627
00:54:16,386 --> 00:54:20,823
Leadbelly, Bukka White, and SonHouse took the life of another man.
628
00:54:21,091 --> 00:54:25,027
You get so mad you wanna cryor cut somebody's throat.
629
00:54:25,395 --> 00:54:28,887
I'd be scared to call myself
the devil's son-in law...
630
00:54:29,165 --> 00:54:31,565
cause Lord don't like joking'
about heaven or hell.
631
00:54:31,901 --> 00:54:35,098
When you get older,
it's time to stop acting a fool...
632
00:54:35,372 --> 00:54:37,169
and act like you got some sense.
633
00:54:37,540 --> 00:54:42,375
I lost my sight drinking can hea
and bad home brew.
634
00:54:42,612 --> 00:54:46,378
God gonna give you only so many
times to stop acting a fool.
635
00:54:47,217 --> 00:54:49,583
I think I'm going to get this boy
something to eat.
636
00:54:50,453 --> 00:54:52,045
I appreciate you stopping by.
637
00:54:53,456 --> 00:54:54,787
Come on, boy.
638
00:55:06,102 --> 00:55:10,266
John Henry was a steel driven' man
639
00:55:11,074 --> 00:55:13,133
Yeah he went down
640
00:55:13,643 --> 00:55:15,838
Well, he went down
641
00:55:17,947 --> 00:55:22,043
Take my hammer and carried itTo my capt'n
642
00:55:22,886 --> 00:55:24,911
Oh, tell him I'm gone
643
00:55:25,322 --> 00:55:27,654
Won't you tell him I'm gone
644
00:55:30,593 --> 00:55:32,458
John Henry
645
00:55:32,729 --> 00:55:35,061
He left his hammer
646
00:55:35,565 --> 00:55:37,533
All paint' in red
647
00:55:38,101 --> 00:55:40,126
All shining' red
648
00:55:46,176 --> 00:55:50,272
When you know people like Bobbie
and Love Grace...
649
00:55:52,248 --> 00:55:53,875
you know you're blessed
to the bone.
650
00:55:54,150 --> 00:55:56,675
Only reason I'm feeding you
is because you promised...
651
00:55:56,953 --> 00:55:59,581
to put me in your book.
I sing.
652
00:55:59,823 --> 00:56:01,620
He only got all men in his book.
653
00:56:01,891 --> 00:56:04,553
I got everybody. He seen it.
654
00:56:05,829 --> 00:56:07,888
Is he really writing a book?
655
00:56:07,997 --> 00:56:09,328
Yes, ma'am.
656
00:56:09,566 --> 00:56:11,932
- What's your nickname?
- Junior.
657
00:56:12,168 --> 00:56:14,329
Bobbie,
we got to give him a name.
658
00:56:14,571 --> 00:56:17,597
He can't go around calling
himself Junior.
659
00:56:17,841 --> 00:56:19,809
That don't sound like a man.
660
00:56:20,677 --> 00:56:23,168
He looks like a Sweet Daddy
to me.
661
00:56:23,446 --> 00:56:26,574
- You like Sweet Daddy?
- No. I like Junior.
662
00:56:26,983 --> 00:56:29,645
No. You can't have...
663
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:30,981
Junior.
664
00:56:31,221 --> 00:56:33,121
The women used to call
me Shave n Dry.
665
00:56:33,189 --> 00:56:35,521
- Shut up.
- How about...
666
00:56:35,759 --> 00:56:36,885
Papa?
667
00:56:37,427 --> 00:56:38,894
How about...
668
00:56:39,429 --> 00:56:41,329
Sugar Stick?
669
00:56:42,599 --> 00:56:44,794
I was back sliding into darkness.
670
00:56:45,034 --> 00:56:47,400
All the names soundedsweet and sticky.
671
00:56:47,504 --> 00:56:49,665
I couldn't come home with any nameother than Junior.
672
00:56:49,939 --> 00:56:52,874
My mother would make me picka switch and whip me raw.
673
00:56:58,281 --> 00:57:00,613
Go on boy, and don't be rude.
674
00:57:09,993 --> 00:57:14,293
- I was between heaven and hell.
- Dixie moonlight
675
00:57:14,564 --> 00:57:17,032
Swanee shore
676
00:57:17,901 --> 00:57:20,995
Headed homebound
677
00:57:21,371 --> 00:57:23,999
Just once more
678
00:57:24,774 --> 00:57:28,767
To my Mississippi
679
00:57:28,845 --> 00:57:33,578
Delta home
680
00:57:38,188 --> 00:57:43,490
Southland has thatGrand garden spot
681
00:57:44,928 --> 00:57:50,662
Although you believe or not
682
00:57:51,601 --> 00:57:57,904
I hear those breeze a-whispering
683
00:57:58,141 --> 00:58:03,306
"Come on back to me"
684
00:58:04,948 --> 00:58:06,745
Muddy water 'round my feet
685
00:58:06,816 --> 00:58:09,307
I'm gonna wait
until you grow up.
686
00:58:09,619 --> 00:58:12,486
Because you're gonna be my man.
687
00:58:14,190 --> 00:58:15,555
You're my...
688
00:58:16,459 --> 00:58:18,222
Sugar Daddy. My...
689
00:58:18,294 --> 00:58:22,993
- Sweet Drops.
- Just God don't shelter
690
00:58:25,001 --> 00:58:30,462
Down on the delta
691
00:58:31,608 --> 00:58:37,240
Muddy water in my shoes
692
00:58:37,747 --> 00:58:40,978
Reeling and rocking to them
693
00:58:41,251 --> 00:58:43,719
Lowdown blues
694
00:58:44,554 --> 00:58:47,387
They live in
695
00:58:47,657 --> 00:58:50,751
Ease and comfortDown there
696
00:58:50,860 --> 00:58:55,058
I do declare
697
00:58:55,532 --> 00:59:01,198
I'm a fool to want you
698
00:59:04,073 --> 00:59:08,976
I'm a fool to want you
699
00:59:12,482 --> 00:59:15,610
- To want a love
- He would always be a head of us.
700
00:59:15,885 --> 00:59:19,286
He knew the trails and pathsthat the Underground Rail Road took.
701
00:59:19,856 --> 00:59:22,552
Instead of the trails leading himto freedom...
702
00:59:22,659 --> 00:59:25,822
the trails led himto his imprisoned son.
703
00:59:26,095 --> 00:59:31,260
I'm a fool to hold you
704
00:59:33,670 --> 00:59:38,869
Such a fool to hold you
705
00:59:42,312 --> 00:59:44,712
To seek a kiss
706
00:59:46,115 --> 00:59:48,640
Not mine alone
707
00:59:49,919 --> 00:59:52,479
To share a kiss
708
00:59:52,722 --> 00:59:56,920
That devil has known
709
01:00:00,229 --> 01:00:04,393
Time and time again
710
01:00:06,135 --> 01:00:11,072
I said I'd leave you
711
01:00:15,345 --> 01:00:19,076
Time and time again
712
01:00:20,617 --> 01:00:23,984
I went away
713
01:00:31,628 --> 01:00:35,257
I hate to go downI hate to go down this Ionesome road
714
01:00:38,401 --> 01:00:41,234
I hate to go down the Ionesome roadBy myself
715
01:00:44,841 --> 01:00:47,708
Yes, I hate to go downThis Ionesome road
716
01:00:48,745 --> 01:00:51,680
I hate to go down this roadBy myself
717
01:00:54,951 --> 01:00:57,715
Yes, I guess I might'veUsed to make it
718
01:00:58,821 --> 01:01:01,483
Or Lightning' don't have nobody else
719
01:01:08,164 --> 01:01:10,689
Lightning' will keep on traveling'
720
01:01:13,736 --> 01:01:15,795
Till I find me someplace to go
721
01:01:19,242 --> 01:01:21,802
I'm gonna keep on traveling'
722
01:01:22,445 --> 01:01:24,413
Till I find me someplace to go
723
01:01:27,850 --> 01:01:30,819
You know you're IonesomeWhen you're traveling
724
01:01:31,054 --> 01:01:33,488
Down this road by yourself
725
01:01:41,831 --> 01:01:43,389
Just think...
726
01:01:43,833 --> 01:01:47,132
the water from the Mississippi
overflowed all the way from...
727
01:01:47,437 --> 01:01:50,031
one end all the way
to the other.
728
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:55,939
All this was under five feet of water
for as far as I can see.
729
01:01:57,914 --> 01:01:59,973
A lot of people lost their lives.
730
01:02:49,232 --> 01:02:50,961
1927.
731
01:02:52,835 --> 01:02:55,133
Your granddaddyworked on a levee.
732
01:02:56,072 --> 01:02:57,801
He was forced to.
733
01:03:07,550 --> 01:03:11,646
So many of our people worked so
hard and had nothing to show for it.
734
01:03:14,524 --> 01:03:18,153
When I was young man I'd drive
down through here afraid to stop.
735
01:03:20,429 --> 01:03:21,919
If you didn't have a job...
736
01:03:23,199 --> 01:03:24,962
you got arrested and they...
737
01:03:25,568 --> 01:03:27,502
they'd farm you out to work.
738
01:05:18,347 --> 01:05:20,372
Come on.
739
01:05:35,631 --> 01:05:37,189
Come on.
740
01:05:52,648 --> 01:05:53,842
Tell me.
741
01:06:03,092 --> 01:06:04,957
Coming to the crossroads...
742
01:06:05,161 --> 01:06:08,653
I found luck has nothing to dowith God or the devil.
743
01:06:09,598 --> 01:06:11,589
It was a matter of fate.
744
01:06:14,437 --> 01:06:16,632
Some bluesmen played with fate.
745
01:06:16,872 --> 01:06:20,035
They acted as sort of trickstersassociating with good and evil...
746
01:06:20,109 --> 01:06:22,509
but in the end, they searchedfor redemption.
747
01:06:22,645 --> 01:06:24,374
Tommy Johnson was one of the firstto claim...
748
01:06:24,447 --> 01:06:27,177
that he sold his soul to the devil.That took nerve.
749
01:06:27,550 --> 01:06:29,848
Robert Johnson was rumoredto have gone to the crossroads...
750
01:06:29,919 --> 01:06:32,615
to bargain his soul awayfor the artistry of the guitar.
751
01:06:32,822 --> 01:06:35,655
When he came back from the crossroads,his style was different.
752
01:06:35,725 --> 01:06:37,215
And he seemed to beanother person.
753
01:06:37,860 --> 01:06:41,091
Petey Wheastraw claimedto be the devil's son-in-law.
754
01:06:43,699 --> 01:06:46,896
All died violently.Except for Tommy Johnson.
755
01:06:55,277 --> 01:06:58,405
We gonna wait to see
if the devil comes.
756
01:06:59,415 --> 01:07:01,474
This is the crossroads...
757
01:07:01,717 --> 01:07:04,982
where Robert Johnson sold
his soul to the devil.
758
01:07:07,189 --> 01:07:10,181
- What devil?
- The real devil.
759
01:07:32,114 --> 01:07:35,277
Music did bring me to the gutter.
760
01:07:35,484 --> 01:07:39,545
It brought me to sleep on the levy
of the Mississippi river.
761
01:07:40,256 --> 01:07:43,692
On the cobblestones,
broke and hungry.
762
01:07:44,026 --> 01:07:48,827
And if you've ever slept on cobblestones
or had no where to sleep...
763
01:07:49,031 --> 01:07:52,865
you can understand
why I began this song with...
764
01:07:53,102 --> 01:07:56,697
"I hate to see the evening
sun go down".
765
01:08:00,743 --> 01:08:04,440
I hate to see
766
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:09,811
The evening sun go down
767
01:08:12,154 --> 01:08:14,452
Hate to see
768
01:08:14,690 --> 01:08:20,026
The evening sun go down
769
01:08:20,096 --> 01:08:22,963
'Cause my baby
770
01:08:23,199 --> 01:08:27,192
Done left this town
771
01:08:28,637 --> 01:08:31,333
Feel tomorrow
772
01:08:31,574 --> 01:08:35,840
Like I feel today
773
01:08:37,646 --> 01:08:39,807
Feel tomorrow
774
01:08:39,882 --> 01:08:44,080
Like I feel today
775
01:08:45,121 --> 01:08:47,783
I'm gonna pack my trunk
776
01:08:48,023 --> 01:08:52,323
And make my getaway
777
01:08:52,628 --> 01:08:55,563
St. Louis woman
778
01:08:55,831 --> 01:08:59,927
With her diamond rings
779
01:09:00,803 --> 01:09:03,829
Pulls a man around
780
01:09:04,073 --> 01:09:07,873
By her apron strings
781
01:09:09,979 --> 01:09:12,777
If it wasn't for powder
782
01:09:13,115 --> 01:09:16,676
And her store-bought hair
783
01:09:18,754 --> 01:09:21,552
This man of mine
784
01:09:21,857 --> 01:09:24,553
Wouldn't go nowhere
785
01:09:24,827 --> 01:09:29,423
Nowhere
786
01:09:30,099 --> 01:09:32,624
I got those St. Louis blues
787
01:09:32,701 --> 01:09:34,794
Just as blue as I can be
788
01:09:35,437 --> 01:09:39,464
Oh, my man's got a heart
789
01:09:39,742 --> 01:09:46,648
Like a rock cast in the sea
790
01:09:46,916 --> 01:09:50,044
- Don't leave me.
- Woman, get out of my face.
791
01:09:53,556 --> 01:09:55,251
Don't leave me!
792
01:09:58,627 --> 01:10:02,393
My man's got a heart
793
01:10:02,631 --> 01:10:09,093
Like a rock cast in the sea
794
01:10:45,074 --> 01:10:48,566
'Cause my baby
795
01:10:48,877 --> 01:10:51,345
He's done left this town
796
01:10:51,413 --> 01:10:56,146
My baby done left this town
797
01:11:13,269 --> 01:11:15,601
- Did ya saw anything?
- I saw a ghost.
798
01:11:18,073 --> 01:11:19,973
Boy, boy...
799
01:11:22,544 --> 01:11:23,772
Boy, boy...
800
01:11:24,046 --> 01:11:27,140
I was only joking
about that devil business.
801
01:11:27,383 --> 01:11:29,749
Can't nobody sell their
soul to the devil.
802
01:11:30,085 --> 01:11:32,076
I did see a ghost.
803
01:11:36,759 --> 01:11:38,727
Okay, okay...
804
01:11:38,994 --> 01:11:40,018
okay...
805
01:11:40,262 --> 01:11:41,786
you saw a ghost...
806
01:11:44,967 --> 01:11:45,831
yeah.
807
01:11:48,070 --> 01:11:51,767
That couldn't have been W.C. Handythen, cause he was still alive.
808
01:11:52,241 --> 01:11:55,335
It could have been the devilplaying tricks again.
809
01:12:01,950 --> 01:12:06,683
Freight trainFreight train running' so fast
810
01:12:07,323 --> 01:12:11,783
Freight trainFreight train running' so fast
811
01:12:12,795 --> 01:12:16,788
Please don't tell what train I'm on
812
01:12:17,066 --> 01:12:21,025
They won't knowWhere I've gone
813
01:12:22,237 --> 01:12:24,205
I worked and boarded.
814
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:26,364
I'd go from door to door...
815
01:12:26,642 --> 01:12:29,736
and ask people if they didn't
need someone to work for them.
816
01:12:30,145 --> 01:12:32,739
Sometime they would
just look at me...
817
01:12:32,981 --> 01:12:35,541
sometime they shut the door,
no we don't need nobody.
818
01:12:35,818 --> 01:12:40,255
I went to one lady's house and
when she opened the door...
819
01:12:40,856 --> 01:12:43,222
after I got through tell her
what I can do...
820
01:12:43,292 --> 01:12:45,624
she said: "What can a little girl
like you do?"
821
01:12:45,928 --> 01:12:48,522
I said: Miss, I can help you withyour vegetables...
822
01:12:48,764 --> 01:12:50,994
I can set you table,I can sweep your kitchen...
823
01:12:51,233 --> 01:12:53,701
I can help with your children,I can bring in your wood...
824
01:12:53,769 --> 01:12:57,068
I can make your fire,I had all of that on one string.
825
01:12:57,306 --> 01:12:59,866
So she says: "Well, come in".
826
01:13:00,109 --> 01:13:02,202
Then she opened the door
and I went in.
827
01:13:02,878 --> 01:13:05,142
Then she hired me that day...
828
01:13:05,914 --> 01:13:09,680
and I started working for her and
she paid me 75 cents a month.
829
01:13:10,352 --> 01:13:11,842
And after I worked awhile...
830
01:13:11,987 --> 01:13:16,185
I guess she could see that I could do
exactly what I said I could do.
831
01:13:16,525 --> 01:13:20,655
But she says to me: "We gonna
pay you more money"...
832
01:13:21,597 --> 01:13:24,259
she said
"we gonna give you 25 cents more"...
833
01:13:24,500 --> 01:13:27,094
which made me get
a dollar a month.
834
01:13:27,703 --> 01:13:31,434
I gave the money to my mother
and ask her to buy me a guitar.
835
01:13:31,774 --> 01:13:33,674
My mother bought the guitar...
836
01:13:34,076 --> 01:13:37,068
and paid three dollars
and seventy-five cents for it.
837
01:13:37,346 --> 01:13:41,214
And after momma boughtthe guitar it was to her sorrow...
838
01:13:41,283 --> 01:13:43,547
because she didn'tget no more rest.
839
01:13:43,685 --> 01:13:46,779
Then I started banging on that
trying to learn to play the guitar...
840
01:13:47,022 --> 01:13:49,354
because I didn't know what
to do with all those strings.
841
01:14:05,174 --> 01:14:06,402
When my
842
01:14:06,642 --> 01:14:08,633
B- b-baby kiss me
843
01:14:10,045 --> 01:14:13,606
And she squeeze me real tight
844
01:14:15,551 --> 01:14:20,079
She l-l-Iook meIn the eyes and say
845
01:14:20,923 --> 01:14:24,256
"Everything's alright
846
01:14:25,027 --> 01:14:27,723
But I get nervous
847
01:14:29,498 --> 01:14:32,626
Everybody have the blues,there's no doubt about it.
848
01:14:32,701 --> 01:14:33,895
Everybody have 'em...
849
01:14:34,169 --> 01:14:36,899
but everybody's bluesaren't exactly the same...
850
01:14:37,105 --> 01:14:39,596
and everybody don't express itthe same way.
851
01:14:39,675 --> 01:14:41,734
They express it accordingto the type of the...
852
01:14:41,810 --> 01:14:44,370
raising and the surroundingthat they had been around.
853
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:47,646
I love the blues and wanna play them,
I was born with them.
854
01:14:47,716 --> 01:14:48,808
I couldn't help that.
855
01:14:49,051 --> 01:14:51,576
My momma had them and
my daddy had 'em too.
856
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:54,188
And the main thing is that
I ain't ashamed, ain't that nice.
857
01:14:54,623 --> 01:14:56,614
The blues is the truth.
858
01:14:56,992 --> 01:14:59,256
If it's not the truth,
it's not the blues.
859
01:14:59,795 --> 01:15:02,457
I remember down South
we used to...
860
01:15:03,432 --> 01:15:06,765
be out on the plantation
and various things...
861
01:15:07,135 --> 01:15:09,831
and you would hear a guy would
get up early in the morning...
862
01:15:10,105 --> 01:15:14,508
and unconsciously he would
just be thinking...
863
01:15:14,943 --> 01:15:20,313
and he's thinking about his condition
and if he was some other place...
864
01:15:20,582 --> 01:15:21,879
or if he was up the road...
865
01:15:21,950 --> 01:15:25,477
down in the Southern states theyalways felt like the Northern states...
866
01:15:26,255 --> 01:15:31,557
would be a place where he could really
enjoy and be himself and relax...
867
01:15:32,895 --> 01:15:36,592
and many times he been workhard all night, something like that...
868
01:15:36,832 --> 01:15:40,233
all day, went to bed at night,get up early in the morning...
869
01:15:40,502 --> 01:15:44,563
unconsciously he thinking andthat's the way the blues are...
870
01:15:44,806 --> 01:15:49,175
unconsciously you think aboutthe things that you would desire...
871
01:15:49,444 --> 01:15:51,878
in mind andyou go to gradually singing them.
872
01:15:52,047 --> 01:15:54,845
That's why early in the morningyou hear a guy going out there...
873
01:15:54,917 --> 01:15:57,181
to catch his news in the morning...
874
01:15:57,252 --> 01:16:01,746
going to pick cottonand he come up with a thing about...
875
01:16:08,697 --> 01:16:10,392
One of these days
876
01:16:10,632 --> 01:16:14,762
It won't be long
877
01:16:16,004 --> 01:16:19,872
You will look for me, captain
878
01:16:20,409 --> 01:16:22,673
I'll be gone
879
01:16:23,045 --> 01:16:26,606
Lonesome time will leave you
feeling sad and blue.
880
01:16:26,815 --> 01:16:30,342
I'm talking about the Blues, nah
I ain't talking about monkey junk.
881
01:16:30,586 --> 01:16:32,110
He go away...
882
01:16:32,387 --> 01:16:33,877
he sit down...
883
01:16:34,156 --> 01:16:36,647
and he cry,
hang their head and cry.
884
01:16:36,925 --> 01:16:40,520
That kind of low what I'm talking about.
What bring the Blues...
885
01:16:40,762 --> 01:16:42,696
B-L-U-E-S.
886
01:16:42,898 --> 01:16:46,959
Now that's the only thing what Blues is,
this other stuff is that's no Blues.
887
01:16:49,504 --> 01:16:52,268
I'm a n-n-nervous man
888
01:16:52,341 --> 01:16:57,369
And I t-t-tremble allIn my b-b-bones
889
01:17:10,092 --> 01:17:12,390
TB is killing me
890
01:17:16,999 --> 01:17:19,763
Why you can't just drop an apple pie?
891
01:17:19,835 --> 01:17:23,464
Lost in that deep blue sea?
892
01:17:28,010 --> 01:17:30,035
I was up on my feet
893
01:17:30,779 --> 01:17:33,646
I could not walk on this feet
894
01:17:34,049 --> 01:17:36,210
You must've looked at me
895
01:17:36,518 --> 01:17:38,713
From my head to my feet
896
01:17:38,787 --> 01:17:41,347
But now
897
01:17:43,158 --> 01:17:45,319
TB is killing me
898
01:17:50,032 --> 01:17:52,466
Why can't you just spare my apple pie?
899
01:17:52,567 --> 01:18:00,497
Lost in that deep blue sea?
900
01:18:13,455 --> 01:18:14,979
I woke up
901
01:18:15,791 --> 01:18:17,452
This morning
902
01:18:17,959 --> 01:18:21,053

At the highway blues

Play that, boy
906
01:18:29,771 --> 01:18:31,363
I woke up
907
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:33,769
On the highway
908
01:18:34,176 --> 01:18:37,270
That old Gray Hound bus had gone
909
01:18:37,879 --> 01:18:40,473
Standing about you, woman I loveIn California
910
01:18:40,782 --> 01:18:42,909

I love to see you walk
919
01:19:57,459 --> 01:19:59,552
Up and down the floor
920
01:20:00,529 --> 01:20:02,827
When you talking' to me
921
01:20:03,431 --> 01:20:05,422
That baby talk
922
01:20:06,268 --> 01:20:08,168
I like it like that
923
01:20:09,204 --> 01:20:11,172
When you talk like that
924
01:20:12,274 --> 01:20:14,071
It knocks me dead
925
01:20:15,076 --> 01:20:16,976
Right off of my feet
926
01:20:17,913 --> 01:20:19,608
Hoo hoo hoo

Betty!
936
01:21:52,641 --> 01:21:53,801
Hey, Rose.
937
01:21:53,875 --> 01:21:55,172
- How you doing?
- Alright.
938
01:21:55,243 --> 01:21:56,801
I called you last week,
you wasn't there.
939
01:21:56,878 --> 01:22:00,370
- Buddy?
- Walter! You want a drink, man?
940
01:22:00,615 --> 01:22:03,675
Are you crazy? Your brother's been
here looking for this boy.
941
01:22:03,919 --> 01:22:06,217
His mother been calling
from California.
942
01:22:06,421 --> 01:22:08,821
Now the police gonna arrest you
for stealing your nephew.
943
01:22:09,057 --> 01:22:10,354
Sho nough!
944
01:22:10,625 --> 01:22:13,116
And don't you have enough sense
to call home?
945
01:22:13,361 --> 01:22:15,226
You wanna get this man arrested
just because of you.
946
01:22:15,297 --> 01:22:17,822
This is my doing. What kinda
drink do ya want? I'm gonna get a drink.
947
01:22:18,099 --> 01:22:20,329
- Sit down.
- Are you crazy?
948
01:22:20,969 --> 01:22:23,494
- Are you crazy?
- Wanna a pop?
949
01:22:27,442 --> 01:22:28,670
I give up.
950
01:22:30,211 --> 01:22:32,236
Drinking black coffee
951
01:22:35,016 --> 01:22:38,452
And smoking cigarettes all night
952
01:22:44,693 --> 01:22:46,456
I can't sleep
953
01:22:51,733 --> 01:22:54,634
Now, Buddy, now you know
you can't have that boy in here.
954
01:22:54,703 --> 01:22:57,171
- But Pearl, he's a little man.
- You gonna have the law on me.
955
01:22:57,372 --> 01:22:58,600
- But listen, just one drink.
- One drink!
956
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:00,740
- Just one more drink.
- One! And you got to go.
957
01:23:01,009 --> 01:23:02,476
Thank you, darling'
958
01:23:04,412 --> 01:23:06,710
She's crazy. Drink up, boy!
959
01:23:07,882 --> 01:23:09,372
Are you coming too?
960
01:23:10,251 --> 01:23:12,845
Get your hands out my pocket.
What's wrong with you?
961
01:23:17,993 --> 01:23:19,255
What happened?
962
01:23:19,461 --> 01:23:22,191
Put his hands in my pocket.
I told him about that.
963
01:23:30,872 --> 01:23:33,363
When I see he's got some sense,
I'll give it back to him.
964
01:23:40,682 --> 01:23:42,149
Having fun?
965
01:23:42,617 --> 01:23:45,347
Now you've got a good reason
to get saved.
966
01:23:46,488 --> 01:23:50,982
As Buddy would say: "The people whoplayed the blues are my kinda people".
967
01:24:02,637 --> 01:24:05,663
Working up a sweat all night long
968
01:24:07,042 --> 01:24:09,670
And jumping over my bed
969
01:24:15,483 --> 01:24:18,611
Working up a sweat all night long
970
01:24:19,888 --> 01:24:22,254
And jumping over my bed
971
01:24:29,564 --> 01:24:31,293
He made me tell.
972
01:24:31,566 --> 01:24:33,966
I don't know what possessed him
to bring that boy in here.
973
01:24:34,235 --> 01:24:35,429
Hey, brother.
974
01:24:39,007 --> 01:24:40,167
Are you okay?
975
01:24:40,408 --> 01:24:41,841
I'm fine.
976
01:24:42,744 --> 01:24:43,904
Are you crazy?
977
01:24:44,813 --> 01:24:46,713
What made you wanna say that?
978
01:24:46,948 --> 01:24:49,246
This is the devil at work here.
979
01:24:49,484 --> 01:24:52,817
What's gotten in to you?
And what is he doing in this place?
980
01:24:53,822 --> 01:24:56,416
Good Lord, you are crazy.
981
01:24:57,125 --> 01:25:00,754
Mama called everybody.
She got the police looking for you.
982
01:25:00,995 --> 01:25:03,862
I can't tell mama I found Junior
in a juke joint.
983
01:25:04,099 --> 01:25:06,294
She'll never talk to you again.
984
01:25:06,534 --> 01:25:08,900
Now I got to be dishonest.
985
01:25:09,938 --> 01:25:11,872
This is how the devil works.
986
01:25:13,174 --> 01:25:15,574
Buddy, you wrong.
987
01:25:22,150 --> 01:25:25,313
I learned so muchon that trip back home.
988
01:25:25,587 --> 01:25:27,953
I never forgot a second of it.
989
01:25:28,056 --> 01:25:31,355
I draw a lot from that timeI spent with Buddy.
990
01:25:32,694 --> 01:25:35,026
For years, Buddy was Buddy.
991
01:25:35,396 --> 01:25:38,229
Years went by and Buddy leftthe book for me to finish.
992
01:25:38,466 --> 01:25:40,491
I did in my own way.
993
01:25:43,838 --> 01:25:46,068
Buddy ended upbecoming a preacher...
994
01:25:46,307 --> 01:25:48,741
like so many of the blues players.
995
01:26:24,979 --> 01:26:28,244
I seen trouble
996
01:26:29,450 --> 01:26:32,476
And I seen sin
997
01:26:34,322 --> 01:26:37,621
I seen evil
998
01:26:38,293 --> 01:26:41,694
In the heart of a man
999
01:26:43,498 --> 01:26:47,264
I seen anger
1000
01:26:47,602 --> 01:26:51,265
In the eyes of a slave
1001
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:56,542
I seen sorrow
1002
01:26:56,844 --> 01:27:00,336
At the side of a gray
1003
01:27:01,816 --> 01:27:05,547
I seen mother
1004
01:27:06,387 --> 01:27:09,618
Losing her child
1005
01:27:11,125 --> 01:27:14,754
I seen daughter
1006
01:27:15,230 --> 01:27:19,894
All broken divine
1007
01:27:20,368 --> 01:27:23,860
I seen lightning
1008
01:27:24,606 --> 01:27:28,565
From the hands of my Lord
1009
01:27:29,611 --> 01:27:33,547
I seen darkness come
1010
01:27:33,781 --> 01:27:37,615
From the edge of a soul
1011
01:27:38,987 --> 01:27:41,217
Give me freedom
1012
01:27:41,456 --> 01:27:43,515
Give me strength
1013
01:27:43,625 --> 01:27:47,686
- Give me freedom
- So long and so many
1014
01:27:52,300 --> 01:27:55,565
I seen daughter
1015
01:27:56,404 --> 01:28:00,966
All broken divine
1016
01:28:01,776 --> 01:28:05,212
I seen lightning
1017
01:28:05,780 --> 01:28:09,773
From the hands of my Lord
1018
01:28:10,818 --> 01:28:14,618
I seen darkness come
1019
01:28:14,956 --> 01:28:18,483
From the edge of a soul
1020
01:28:20,228 --> 01:28:22,355
Give me freedom
1021
01:28:22,630 --> 01:28:24,689
Give me strength
1022
01:28:24,766 --> 01:28:26,791
Give me freedom
1023
01:28:27,068 --> 01:28:29,298
So long and so many
1024
01:28:29,537 --> 01:28:31,630
Give me freedom
1025
01:28:31,706 --> 01:28:33,901
Take my hand
1026
01:28:34,175 --> 01:28:36,109
Give me freedom
1027
01:28:36,344 --> 01:28:38,335
So long and so many
1028
01:28:38,579 --> 01:28:40,877
Give me freedom
1029
01:28:41,115 --> 01:28:43,310
Take my hand
1030
01:28:43,618 --> 01:28:47,054
On the highwayTo the promised land
1031
01:28:48,690 --> 01:28:53,684
I like music ever since I was a boy.
I just like music.
