• Still I'm Travelin' On...
The Mississippi Sheiks, a loosely organized, family-based musical group, were the most renowned and commercially successful African American string band of the 1930s. Between 1930 and 1935 the Mississippi Sheiks recorded an extensive collection of country blues, waltzes, fox-trots, pop songs, and hokum numbers, including their most famous song, “Sitting on Top of the World” (composed by band member Walter Vinson), now considered a blues classic.
Greg's lyrics: (If you can help then please post your amendments)
Well I'm a stranger here, nobody knows my name
Everybody asks me if I'm to blame
Cause I'm traveling on, and I'm traveling on
Well the way may be rough but don't you ever give up your load
They done me wrong, talk about me when I sleep
Long before day I made my 'fore day creep
And I'll be traveling on, and I'll be traveling on
Well the way may be rough but don't you ever give up your load
Days gone by since you've been nice and kind
Seems like now you've got the world in mind
That's why I'm traveling on, yeah I been traveling on
Well the way may be rough but don't you ever give up your load
Well I'm a stranger here, nobody knows my name
Everybody asks me if I'm to blame
That's why I'm traveling on, yeah I been traveling on
Well the way may be rough but don't you ever give up your load
[I can't fully understand Greg's last verse:]
????? hopes you understand
Can't be your ????? and be your man
That's why I'm traveling on, yeah I been traveling on
Well, the way may be rough but don't you ever give up your load
Still I'm Traveling On
Mississippi Sheiks original lyrics
I'm a stranger here, nobody knows my name
Everything that happens, they says I'm to blame
But still I'm traveling along, still I'm traveling along
Well, the way may be hard but don't ever give up your load
They done me wrong, talk about me when I'm asleep
Along about day I made my 'fore day creep
I'm just traveling along, I'm just traveling along
Well, the way may be hard but don't ever give up your load
"Oh, step on it"
Some of these mornings, I'm going to shout
When your mean ways have done worried out
Then I'll be traveling along, then I'll be traveling along
Well, the way may be hard but don't ever give up your load
"I mean, step on it"
I went to leave, she put rocks in my road
Doing everything to get me not to go
But still I travel right on, still I travel right on
Well, the way may be hard but don't ever give up your load
"Oh, stomp it"
It have been days that you were nice and kind
But it seems like now you've left this world behind
That's why I'm traveling along, that's why I'm traveling along
Well, the way may be hard but don't ever give up your load
