Story behind the song
'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 Rachell to Howard Armstrong in Louie Bluie 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
