Story behind the song
Now I'm gonna sing you all a little song entitled "I Was Engaged to a Peg-Legged Gal and I Broke It Off" - Chris Bouchillon, My Fat Girl If you've ever been hurt by your main squeeze, deceived by your best friend, or down to your last dime and ready to call it quits, this cat has the solution if you have the time to listen. Ladies and Gentlemen's...and all those who wish to be considered so! Here 'tis! Here goes the greatest remedy for the blues on earth! The results obtained by the use of this track have been phenomenal! Inspiration from Floyd "Dipper Boy" Council III(The Devil's Daddy-In-Law) Your enemy cannot harm you, but watch your close friend - Rev. Edward W. Clayborn I wanted to buy me some cakes but I had shot dice and lost my roll - Blind Lemon Jefferson, Bakershop Blues "Sweet Singer of the Swamplands Here to Do a Few Tunes between Homicides" - January 3, 1935, headline in the New York Herald Tribune announcing the arrival of Leadbelly I had to steal music from every which a way to get it... to get it to fit - Willie McTell, intro to The Dyin' Crapshooter's Blues, Last Sessions Some folks dig the swamp blues...I YAM THE SWAMP, Y'ALL ! When Paramount Records got the ol' chap to make this record, they put over a big one for the Blues! He is a blues preacher that knows how to pick and holler! Listen to this a here record right now! I got a gal, she lives in town. I'm gonna see if I can run her down - James Cole's String Band Take Back Your Heart, I Ordered Liver! - a jazz title without the actual song, according to Dave Van Ronk Aunt Caroline Dye she told me, "Son, you don't have to live so rough" "I'm going to fix you up a mojo, oh Lord, so you can strut your stuff" [Go on and strut yo' stuff!] Originality is way overrated. To make, you need to take. All great artists do All has not been said and never will be Only those with no memory insist on their originality I know my crown gonna fit me well, 'cause tried it on at the gates of hell - Reverend Gary Davis 'Scuse my cough, I slept in a chicken house last night. - Jesse Fuller Drop the bomb, y'all! - Snooks Eaglin I found a note on the floor, it almost sent me off in a trance. She said "It's nothin' that you've done, I'm just leavin' in advance" - Memphis Slim, Empty Room Blues All right boys, say, play that piano loud and bring me some more of that catjuice up there - Peg Leg Howell, "Chittlin' Supper" Mark Twain once said, "I can live for two months on a good compliment." Chinatown! They got the best ol' food they ever had in Chinatown! - Leadbelly, from Fredric Ramsey Jr's. liner notes to the last sessions records (about Elvis Presley) I wasn't just a fan, I was his brother. He said I was good and I said he was good; we never argued about that. Elvis was a hard worker, dedicated, and God loved him. Last time I saw him was at Graceland. We sang "Old Blind Barnabus" together, a gospel song. I love him and hope to see him in heaven. There'll never be another like that soul brother.--James Brown I don't play 'em, I stomp 'em. - Bukka White SECOND CAT: Hey Mezzie, lay some of that hard-cuttin' mess on me. I'm short of a deuce of blips but I'll straighten you later. MEZZROW: Righteous, gizz, you're a poor boy but a good boy now don't come up crummy. SECOND CAT: Never no crummy, chummy. I'm gonna lay a drape under the trey of knockers for Tenth Street and I'll be on the scene, wearin' the green. When you go down on Deep Ellum, keep your carburator clean, 'cause the women on Deep Ellum sell you dirty gasoline - Bill Neely What's your story, Jack? Just jumped in port and need the line on where the hep cats is friskin' their whiskers? Well, no need to stay unhep to the jive, Lane! Get y'rself togged to the bricks and swing down to the local frolic pad and find you a hep wren. If I had one biscuit, and you hadn't eaten nothin' in a month, I'd break it in two and eat both pieces - Yank Rach
Lyrics
https://youtu.be/T5tfVIMgIog Here she comes! The Black Diamond Express to Hell with Sin the Engineer holding the throttle wide open; Pleasure is the headlight, and the devil is the conductor. You can feel the roaring of the express and the moanin' of the drunkards, liars, gamblers and other folk who have got aboard. They are hell-bound and they don't want to go. The train makes eleven stops but nobody can get off - Vocalion advertisement for Rev. A.W. Nix's 1927 recording Black Diamond Express to Hell
