- Some time ago I accidentally stumbled upon Robert Johnson and I was amazed. Since that time I started reading, learning for him and the Blues and above all listening to them.
So... recently I created a Blog (which due to personal obligations isn't very good yet) and more recently this youtube channel on which I hope that I will post my blues music videos... Not something special but something which I started with lots of love about this music. Hope you 'll like them and enjoy!!!

(Lyrics)
I am alone because I love you
I love you with all my heart
Oh, I'm alone because I had to be true
Sorry, I can't say the same about you
Yesterday's kisses are bringing me pain
Yesterday's sunshine has turned into rain
I'm alone because I love you
Love you with all my heart
Yesterday's kisses are bringing me pain
Yesterday's sunshine has turned into rain
I'm alone because I love you
Love you with all my heart
Love you with all my heart
Oh, I'm alone because I had to be true
The mans a great wordsmith, i love him,.
Happy Valentines Day, to all the jaded lovers out there!
:)
Fuck love, fuck people
You dark dark soul
This was the first version of this song I ever heard dacdes ago off the Leadbelly Last Sessions album. It is a pop song written in 1930 by Joe Young and ?Ira Schuster. A couple of popular dance bands recorded it then. It sounds like an old 1890s waltz. Several country acts recorded it before 1942 and some have since then. Both Nat King Cole and the Everly Brothers recorded it. It has become a standard for many New Orleans bands down to the present.
I canna get over this song. I've not heard Leadbelly tackle anything like this before. That voice and guitar work of his certainly prevent it being sweet and syrupy!

Try “dancing with tears in my eyes”
He does it in a similar style to this.
Definitely 2 of my favourite Leadbelly songs.
@@JoLoneyMusic Thanks for mentioning that. It's rare to find sentimental songs recorded by early county/blues musicians. The way the rough-edged style combines with the melody is haunting. It makes the hurt sound so raw. I've set aside a few of these but am always eager to hear other examples of this "mating" of musics, if you (or anyone else) can suggest any others.
A couple of my favorites, (of course not similar, but similarly unique,) are "I Want Someone to Love Me" by Tommy Johnson, and "I'm Not Jealous" by Rabbit Brown, which is a more upbeat tune with heartfelt lyrics.

Thanks for replying and reminding me that this gem exists!
It’s been a couple years since I’ve heard it now.
Nice and raw. What a voice. Now looking for his other stuff.
Thank You : )

[Intro]
Now I don't know all this but you'll know when I start
I'm alone because I love you, I love you with all of my heart
I'm alone because I have to be true, I'm sorry I can't say the same thing about you
Yesterday the sunshine brought me rain, yesterday your kisses started bringing me pain
I'm alone because I love you, I love you with all of my heart
[Guitar Solo]
I'm alone because I love you, I love you with all of my heart
I'm alone because I have to be true, I'm sorry I can't say the same thing about you
Yesterday the sunshine brought me rain, yesterday your kisses started bringing me pain
I'm alone because I love you, I love you with all of my heart
Does anyone know the guitar chords? :)
i think its A#, F, D# and maybe a A#7
This is a version done by my late grandfather Walt Heath with his backup band The Pinecones . It's pretty cool to know that my grandfather did the same song that Lead Belly did :
