Big Bill Broonzy

Big Bill Broonzy (June 26, 1903 – August 15, 1958) was a prolific American blues singer, songwriter and guitarist. His career began in the 1920s when he played country blues to mostly black audiences. Through the ‘30s and ‘40s he successfully navigated a transition in style to a more urban blues sound popular with working class Black audiences. In the 1950s a return to his traditional folk-blues roots made him one of the leading figures of the emerging American folk music revival and an international star. His long and varied career marks him as one of the key figures in the development of blues music in the 20th century. more »

I believe, I believe
I believe I'll change my way
I believe, I believe
I believe I'll change my way
There is three things
Cross me down today

There is three things in life
Just won't let me rest
There is three things in life
Just won't let me rest
There's whiskey and good time
And a good woman can do the rest

One drink will make you want more
And more will make your love come down
Yeah
More will make your love come down
Boy, you should go home
'Cause you can't do a thing but clown

Yeah
Look how three things brought me down
Yeah
Look how three things brought me down
Now, don't fly high
'Cause it hurts when you hit the ground

I don't wanna be rich
I don't care for fancy clothes
Now, I don't wanna be rich
I don't care for fancy clothes
Yes, give me a pretty woman and a automobile
I will be a happy soul
