My theme song

There's a song entitled "Broome Street Blues" that inspired the name of this blog; I'd never heard it before, but it seemed like as worthy a namesake as any.

I have since purchased the song and if you're into old country blues, it's not too shabby.

"Broome Street Blues" the song is performed by Skoodle Dum Doo (Seth Richard) and Sheffield. Not much is known about this pair, but a little that is known can be found here.

Because I pride myself on giving you the full story, here are the lyrics I painstakingly transcribed as I couldn't seem to find them floating around other on other websites.

Broome Street Blues
Performed by Skoodle Dum Doo & Sheffield

This morning when I woke up, Broome Street blues round my bed
This morning when I woke up, Broome Street blues round my bed
I was thinking about my baby so hard, it hurt my weary head.

My best gal has left me and she won't be back no more
My best gal has left me and she won't be back no more
She may be back in the winter, but she won't be back before.

(Hey man, I hear ya. Listen.)

I've got the Broome Street blues, I've been sweepin' all over town (I believe you bud)
I've got the Broome Street blues, I've been sweepin' all over town
I done swept up the gal I love now, I believe I'm settled down.

I've got the Broome Street blues, I've been sweepin' all over town
I've got the Broome Street blues, I've been sweepin' all over town
That little bow-legged gal of mine, she don't want no messin' round.

If there's a better representative song of this blog out there, I can't think of it. Costs a buck at Amazon if you're interested.
