South of the delta
Julia Dodds had a son
On the day he was born in 1911
No way for no one to now
Someday he'd be the oneHe learned to play some guitar
From his friend boy Willie Brown
Noah Johnson gave him a name
Went down to the crossorad
Dealin with the devil
Robbie Leroy life will never be the sameEverybody called him the king of the delta blues
Devil made an offer he just could not refuse
He sang of a tale of the hellhound on his trail
Some traveling bluesTraveled round the country
Playin the blues
When no one else had have a gun
They say he loved the ladies
But he never stayed to long
Living his life down on the roadEverybody called him the king of the delta blues
Devil made an offer he just could not refuse
He sang of a tale of the hellhound on his trail
Some traveling bluesWell just outside the Greenwood
At the Three Fox salloon
He got to close to another mans wife
When he drank the poison whiskey
Still took three long days
For the delta king to loose his lifeEverybody called him the king of the delta blues
Devil made an offer he just could not refuse
He sang of a tale of the hellhound on his trail
Some traveling bluesCould someone correct me please... I know there are few weak spots in the lyrics.
yea, but the Delta is a lot flatter than that picture.
It is flat, beyond the horizon! :)
Still sounds like Blackfoot
It's MTB. With Chris Hicks and Jimmy Hall singing
It’s not the marshal tucker band
They may take the name but the original is long gone
Yea he sounds like medlocke,but, it's Chris hicks.And kicks ass
Is this Blackfoot?
This is not the marshal tucker band!!
