One Kind Favor - Blind Lemmon Jefferson song ~ six string version on a Martin. Back around 2010 to 2013 the CBG thing WAS a revolution. CBN was so busy then that posting 2 vids on the same day was kind of rude!! It pushed someone else off the main page. Well, the revolution is over. But CBGs will ALWAYS be fun to make and play. This is a comparison video - posted with an outdoor vid of the same song on a CBG four.

One Kind Favor ~ Blind Lemmon Jeffferson song. Doug Thorsvik mentioned that I was due for a video. And I was talking to a harmonica player about minor key harmonicas and that we both used major key harmonicas for minor key songs. I made a vid of this back about 2010 for CBN. That video and some of the others disappeared over time! So this is a re-do. I think the earlier one was better. It did not have harp and this one does. This is on a DGBE four string Padron box. I think I will make a store bought six string video for comparison.

My songs I write are like scabs. It's hard to leave them alone. This one may finally be finalized. Maybe... And I still like a good cowboy show or song.

LET THE MERMAIDS FLIRT WITH ME

Blues all on the ocean.
Blues all in the air. I can't stay here no longer.
I have no steamship fare.

When my earthly trials are over,
Cast my body out to sea. Save all the undertaker bills.
Let the mermaids flirt with me.

My wife controls our happy home.
My sweetheart I can't find. The only thing I call my own
Is a troubled and a worried mind.

I do not work for pleasure.
Earthly peace, I'll see no more. The onliest reason I work at all is to drive the wolf from my door.

Blues all in my body, \
my darlin's forsaken me. If ever see her again. \I have to swim across the sea.
When my earthly trials are over, cast my body out to sea. Save all the undertaker bills.
Let the mermaids flirt with me.
