Voted : Wild Women Don't Get the Blues ~ Ida Cox (1920's) Here are the cool lyrics: Well, I hear you women talkin' 'bout your monkey men, About yo' no 'count husbands and their triflin' friends. Peaceful women sit around all day and moan. They're wonderin' why their wanderin' papas don't come home. But wild women don't worry, wild women never get the blues. Well, if you got a man, don't be on the square, 'Cause if you do, he'll have a woman everywhere. I nevcr have been known to treat no one man right. I keeps 'em workin' hard both the day and night. 'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women never get the blues. Well, I got a dlsposition, got a way of my own, If you don't like it, baby, you can find another home. I get full of good liquor, walk the streets at night, Come home and puts my man out if he don't do right. 'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women never get the blues. Well I got a disposition, got a way of my own If you don't like it, baby, you can find another home. i get full of Courvolsier walk the streets at night, Come home and puts my man out if he don't get it up right. 'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women never get the blues. Well, you never get nothin' by bein' an angel child You better change your ways, and then you'll get real wild. I'm gonna tell you somethin' wouldn't tell you no lie. Wild women are the only kind that really get by. 'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women never get the blues.

Voted : Dyin' Crap Shooters Blues - Blind Willie Mctell Little Jesse was a gambler, night and day He used crooked cards and dice Sinful guy, good hearted but had no soul Heart was hard and cold like ice Jesse was a wild reckless gambler Won a gang of change Although' a many gambler's heart he left in pain Began to spend all his money Began to be blue, sad and all alone And his heart had even turned to stone Police walked up and shot my friend Jesse down Said boys I got to die today He had a gang of crapshooters and gamblers at his bedside Here are the words he had to say Guess I ought to know How I wants to go (How you wanna go, Jesse?) I want eight crapshooters to be my pallbearers Let 'em be veiled down in black I want nine men going to the graveyard, But only eight men comin' back I want a gang of gamblers gathered 'round my coffin-side Crooked card printed on my hearse Don't say the crapshooters'll never grieve over me My life been a doggone curse Send poker players to the graveyard Dig my grave with the ace of spades I want twelve polices in my funeral march High sheriff playin' blackjack, leadin' the parade I want the judge and solic'ter who jailed me 14 times Put a pair of dice in my shoes Let a deck of cards be my tombstone I got the dyin' crapshooter's blues Sixteen real good crapshooters Sixteen bootleggers to sing a song Sixteen racket men gamblin' And a couple to tend bar while I'm rollin' along He wanted 22 women outta the Hampton Hotel 26 off-a South Bell 29 women outta North Atlanta Know little Jesse didn't pass out so swell His head was achin', heart was thumpin' Little Jesse went to hell bouncin' and jumpin' Folks, don't be standin' around ole Jesse cryin' He wants everybody to dance the Charleston whilst he dyin' One foot up, a toenail dragging Throw my buddy Jesse in the hoodoo wagon Come here mama with that can of booze I got the dyin crapshooter's blues, checkin' out With the dyin' crapshooter's blues. Bob Dylan was right, nobody ever sang the blues like Blind Willie Mctell. This could be a really long list. There are thousands of songs with the word blues in the title from just the 1920s and 30s alone.

^Hi Lightreaper! Yeah, Deep Elem Blues is a good one, and it does date to the early 30s (originally done, I think, by a group called The Shelton Brothers). There's a song called "The Georgia Black Bottom" by The Georgia Crackers that was recorded in 1927 that's basically the same song though (almost identical except the words "Black Bottom" are used in place of the words "Deep Elem"). Deep Elem apparently refers to Elm Street in Dallas Texas - which was the red light district in those days. Not sure what or where Black Bottom was, but it seems to have been the same kind of neighborhood.

Voted : Killing Time In The Blue Shadows From an odd but entertaining (IMO) movie called "Streets of Fire" with Michael pare and Diane Lane. The song itself was done by Jason and the Scorchers.
