Livin' in a strain


Now, the people's cryin, 'Mercy'
But the whole world is now in a strain
Now, the people's cryin, 'Mercy'
But the whole world is now in a strain
I am going to the court house
And have the judge to change my name

I was out this mo'nin'
I looked up at the risin' sun
I was out this mo'nin'
I looked up at the risin' sun
And the strain that I'm in
It will take me two years to overcome

Now, let me tell you boys
How your friends will treat you
When you run astray
Now, let me tell you boys
How your friends will treat you
When you run astray
They won't even come around you
And call you rather dirty names

(instrumental)

I really believe
I'm going to have to leave this town
I really believe
I'm going to have to leave this town
Because the strain that I'm in
It is really carryin' me down

I was out this mo'nin'
I looked up at the risin' sun
Was out this mo'nin'
I looked up at the risin' sun
But now the strain that I'm in
It will take me two years to overcome.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Mississippi Sheiks were an American musical group active from 1928 to 1932. Considered pioneers of country blues, they profoundly influenced subsequent American music. Their sound was characterized by intricate vocal harmonies, slide guitars, and infectious rhythms. Among the most notable members were Bo Carter (guitar and vocals), Memphis Slim (piano and vocals), and Papa Charlie McCoy (banjo and vocals). The Mississippi Sheiks recorded numerous songs that became classics of the genre, including "Sittin' on Top of the World", "Stop and Listen", and "Honey Babe Let the Deal Go Down". Their music was rediscovered in the 1960s and continues to be enjoyed by fans of blues and folk music.
