The things that mattered to you and the things you didn't do?" I remember learning, after it was too late I remember fighting, to try to seal my fate I couldn't make it stop you know I couldn't make it happen Now I see how simple if I could only try again Presley says to Johnson, as he started heading North "This here's the way to Memphis, Robert, come on it's gettin' dark I know you don't remember, you couldn't, you were gone But many people loved me there and they loved my songs Do you remember, Robert, those who loved you so? Do you remember Robert it was a long time ago?" I remember learning, after it was too late I remember fighting, to try to seal my fate I couldn't make it stop you know I couldn't make it happen Now I see how simple if I could only try again *** * Harpman Lost His Blues* Lord I seen the Harpman comin' I seen him down along the tracks Lord I seen the Harpman comin' I seen him down along the tracks He's carryin' his old Hohner And his clothes in a gunny sack His shoes they are all worn out His black coat faded gray His shoes they are all worn out His black coat faded gray But don't you ask him for an old tune 'Cause his blues is gone away Got his blues in Memphis Lost 'em down in New Orleans Caught them back up in Chicago Workin' for the big machine Well I hear the Harpman comin' Blowin' hard and blowin' clean Yes I hear the harpman blowin' Blowin' hard and blowin' clean I hear the tunes of a bluesman Headed down to New Orleans He got his bottle and his blues harp Gonna play his way on down Said He got his bottle and his blues harp Gonna play his way on down As he travels down the blues road 'Till he makes Fat Tuesday town Got his blues in Memphis Lost 'em down in New Orleans Caught them back up in Chicago Workin' for the big machine *** *Mud Cat Blues* I go fishin' in the mornin' Go drinkin' in the afternoon I go fishin' in the mornin' ya'll Said I drink in the afternoon I don't care about my supper, no 'Cause I leave my fishin' hole too soon Momma save some of that mud cat Save me some of that good fish too Said save me some of that mud cat I ain't gonna make it home by noon I went fishin' early this mornin' I went drinkin' this afternoon I fished early this mornin' ya'll I was drinkin' this afternoon I ain't worried about my supper I'll eat mud cat tomorrow noon Momma save some of that mud cat Save me some of that good fish too Said save me some of that mud cat I ain't gonna make it home by noon *** *Blue Highway Blues* Way down along the highway That they call the sixty-one Way down along the highway That they call the sixty-one Hoodoo be lurkin' there Let me tell you, ain't no fun Back up in the old barn In the dim shadow light Back up in the old barn In the dim shadow light Hear the Devil come a callin' Pay your dues from the night I'm down in gravels Head on the road Blues highway got me Got me down you know Now I'm back up in the old barn Try to pay that debt I owe Blue highway, blue highway Will you ever let me go Blue highway, blue highway Will you ever let me go Blue highway, blue highway Where I'm bound nobody knows Got my bills paid 'till tomorrow The Devil he done let me go Got my bills paid 'till tomorrow The Devil he done let me go So if you see me down in Memphis You know I'm goin' down slow David Elfert, based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, plays drums in the "Blooze Hownz" - an acoustic blues band that he formed together with a friend and which plays classic acoustic blues and some original songs.
