Magnolia Blues
by Paul Davis
on Southern Tracks & Fantasies (Expanded Edition) (1976)
I don't know, if y'all have a dope problem in Atlanter, but I know that, uh in Jackson MS, there has been actually marijuana SOLD on the streets. They out... they out in the street sellin it. The police can not contain ALL the marijuaner that's in Jackson. That's the truth.
I was born in Soso MS, ain't that cool.
Well the folks at Soso, the Lord knows, they sure can groove.
We used to wait for Little Richard on the radio,
Waiting for another Fats Domino.
Oh, oh... oh, oh.
Oh Lord, you gotta help me through these low-down magnolia blues.
MS Fred used to sing his a-low down blues.
We all had a hard time, but we'd find somethin' to do.
I played the two-finger boogie just as hard as I could.
Little Black Charlie used to dance so cool.
Oh Lord, you gotta help me through these low-down Magnolia Blues.
Soso MS, sweet Magnolia Blues.
Soso MS, sweet magnolia Blues.
Soso MS, sweet magnolia Blues, ooh, ooh... ooh, ooh.
Uh-huh, uh-uh, huh, uh-uh,...
Uh-huh, uh-uh, huh, uh-uh,...
I played the two-finger boogie just as hard as I could.
Little Black Charlie used to dance so cool.
Oh Lord, you gotta help me through these low-down Magnolia Blues.
Down in Soso MS, sweet magnolia blues.
Soso MS, sweet magnolia blues.
Soso MS, sweet magnolia blues, ooh, ooh... ooh.
Uh-uh, Uh-uh, Uh-uh, Soso blues.
Uh-uh, Uh-uh, Uh-uh, Soso blues.
Uh-uh, Uh-uh, Uh-uh, Soso blues.
Uh-uh, Uh-uh, Uh-uh, Soso blues.
But if you've ever seen somebody high on marijuaner, uh, you can tell, they cuticles are dialated. Now. I learned that in the Nar, in the Narcotics Trainin' Prevention in Tupelo MS.
They teach that ever' 6 months, and we went up there, and, to see it. And they had a boy that, that tried that marijuaner pill. And, uh, his eyes rolled back upon his head, and he liked to, he liked to kicked over. He was shakin and uh, hollerin', uh.
He was hollerin' that "Trip Out" just as loud as he could. And that's what he, uh, he was actually what they call "Freakin Out."
