JC Holmes Blues - Bessie Smith[00:00:00]
Listen people if you want to hear[00:00:07]
A story told about a brave engineer[00:00:14]
J C Holmes was the rider's name[00:00:21]
A heavyweight wheelman with a might fame[00:00:27]
JC said with a smile so fine[00:00:35]
"Woman gets tired o' one man at a time[00:00:42]
Get two or three if you have to hide[00:00:48]
If the train go an' leave you got a mule to ride"[00:00:55]
In the second cabin sat Miss Alice Bry[00:01:03]
Goin' to ride with J C or die[00:01:10]
"I ain't good lookin' and I don't dress fine[00:01:17]
But I'm a ramblin' woman with a ramblin' mind"[00:01:22]
Just then the conductor hollered "All aboard"[00:01:31]
And the porter said "We got our load[00:01:38]
Look a-here son we oughta be gone[00:01:45]
I feel like ridin' if it's all night long"[00:01:51]
JC said just before he died[00:01:59]
Two more roads he wanted to ride[00:02:06]
Everybody wondered what road it could be[00:02:13]
He said "The Southern Pacific and The Santa Fe"[00:02:18]
J C said "I don't feel right[00:02:27]
I saw my girl with a man last night[00:02:34]
Soon as I get enough steam just right[00:02:41]
I've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin'"[00:02:47]
