um azul standard para marcar o início de férias. escrito por james b. oden, também conhecido por st. louis jimmy, é dos que tem mais covers gravadas. as mais famosas têm a assinatura de howlin' wolf, b.b. king, jimmy witherspoon e little walter, mas a minha preferida é a de william thomas dupree, que veio a ser um dos mais famosos pianistas de sempre, merecendo o nome de champion jack dupree.

I have had my fun


If I don't get well no more


My health is failing me


And I'm going down slow

Please write my mother


Tell her the shape I'm in


Tell her to pray for me


Forgive me of all my sins

Tell her don't send no doctor


Doctor can't do me no good


It is all my fault


I didn't do the things I should

On the next train south

Look for my clothes, home

If you don't see my body

All you can do is moan

Mother, please don't worry


This is all in my prayer

Just say you got a son

Out of this world somewhere
