lowell fulson nasceu no oklahoma, numa reserva chocktaw, mas gostava de referir que o seu pai era descendente dos cherokee. esse sangue índio nota-se na sua independência: recusou as escolas do delta e de chicago e foi dos poucos cultores de azuis que se estabeleceu na costa oeste. este standard é um dos seus cartões de visita.


So long, oh how I hate to see you go

So long, oh how I hate to see you go

And the way that I will miss you

I guess you will never know

We've been together so long, to have to separate this way

We've been together so long, to have to separate this way

I'm gonna let you go ahead on baby

Pray that you'll come back home some day

You said you once had loved me

But now I guess you have changed your mind

You said you once had loved me

But now I guess you have changed your mind

Why don't you reconsider baby

Give yourself just a little more time
