When your money’s gone, friends have turned you down, And you wander ’round just like a houn’ (a lonesome houn’), Then you stop to say, "Let me go away From this old town (this awful town)". There’s a place I know folks won’t pass me by, Dallas, Texas, that’s the town I cry! (oh hear me cry!) And I’m going back, going back to stay there till I die (until I die). Chorus: I’ve got the Dallas Blues and the Main Street heart disease (it’s buzzin’ ’round), I’ve got the Dallas Blues and the Main Street heart disease (it’s buzzin’ ’round), Buzzin’ ’round my head like a swarm of little honey bees (of honey bees). I've got the bees. When I got up north, clothes I had to spare, Sold 'em all to pay my railroad fare (my railroad fare) Just to come back here riding in a Pullman parlor chair (a parlor chair). Sent a telegram, this is what I said: "Baby, bring a cold towel for my head (my aching head). Got the Dallas Blues and your lovin' man is almost dead (is almost dead). Chorus: I'm goin' to put myself on a Santa Fe and go (I'm goin' to go), I'm goin' to put myself on a Santa Fe and go (I'm goin' go) To that Texas town where you never see the ice and snow (the ice and snow). I'm goin' to snow.
, I have this on 78 RPM a brown record on perfect records label. I wonder where this was recorded and also what the flip side of the 78 is. Dallas Blues was originally done in 1918 by The Wilbur swetman band it was also the first published Blues sheet music with a caricature of a big lipped negro on the front page. Later additions have music music lines with shrunken heads and Bones in place of the notes probably from around 1920 or so it may be 2nd or 3rd Edition
Thank You!!!
Priceless!

"the first published Blues sheet music with a caricature of a big lipped negro on the front page" No, "Livery Stable Blues" had that e.g.
The flip side of this record is "Rockin' Chair Blues".
