Well I remember Jessie Mae

And I remember, how she used to wail


Back in Junior's yard


It was so so long ago




Well I remember Mississippi John Hurt


His finger picking nails

All covered in dirt


Down in Avalon


Well it was so so long ago




You all gave it to me


I could feel it in my bones

I just needed to see


Past the rolling stones




R.L. Burnside in the afternoon


Jumper on the line


Well he taught me that tune

With a little white lightning


That was so so long ago




Now Junior Kimbrough's Electric


Juke Joint


Junior I love you

All night long


Now the Juke Joint's gone


'Cause that was so so long ago




You all gave it to me


I could feel it in my bones

I just needed to see


Past the rolling stones




Well I've got a mountain


So high to climb


Gotta use my rhythm

Gonna use my rhymes




But I should have stayed

On the road so long ago


But I should have stayed

On the road so long ago
