thebluesneverdie 18th Apr 2015		Actually....yes!!.



Bill Fick 17th Apr 2015		Even smuttier than "Tom Cat And Pussy Blues"??



fixbutte 17th Apr 2015		Here's a later recording, made for Decca in 1936 (cat# 5206 B), probably sung to the same melody (with some parts of "She's A Hum Dum Dinger" in it), which seems to be no less smutty (transcription taken from The Mudcat Café again): HIGH-GEARED MAMA (Jimmie Davis) Now talk about your gals but I've got one She's a high-geared mama, she's a son of a gun She's got knee actions so they say You oughta see her make her getaway She's a high-geared mama comin' to town Don't let her get you down She can walk the dog, she can ball the jack She can really cock 'em back She's a high-geared mama built for speed She has got anything you need She's a high-geared mama comin' to town Don't let her get you down Instrumental break She can throw it in high, she can throw it in low Make an old man grab his stick and go She wanted a dress and she wanted a ring But she didn't even want to shake that thing She's a high-geared mama comin' to town Don't let her get you down She's a two-time mama when I leave her at home She calls another daddy on the telephone She's snorted and cavorted, capered and reared She never even whimpered and never even cared She's a high-geared baby comin' to town Don't let her get you down Instrumental break For exercise she'd walk a mile She can cut your pork chops any old style If you like a girl like this girl of mine You can come get mine just any old time She's a high-geared mama comin' to town Don't let her get you down I took her to church the other day She and the preacher made a getaway They buried the preacher a mile from town She come to the funeral in her red nightgown She's a high-geared mama comin' to town Don't let her get you down Instrumental break She's a high-geared mama comin' to town Don't let her get you down Words and music by Jimmie Davis. Recorded 21 March 1936 in Roosevelt Hotel, New Orleans, Louisiana. Issued as De 5206.



fixbutte 17th Apr 2015		In case you don't get all the filth and smut in this 1932 recording, here's a transcription that I've found on The Mudcat Café: RED NIGHTGOWN BLUES (Jimmie Davis) We bought the license went to see Parson Brown, Corrine couldn't wait and she throwed me down; Says now Parson don't wait so long, Two more minutes and I'm going wrong. She's comin' through town in a red nightgown, Somebody head Corinne. With two head locks and a sock in the jaw, I said, "Corinne, what's the matter now?" Said, "Papa steady, don't take me so fast, If you take me too fast, sweet mama can't last." She's comin' through town in a red nightgown, Somebody head Corinne. [instrumental break] We went home to settle down, Corinne chased me round and round; Says "Now Papa, don't you run, You're my meat, you son of a gun." She's comin' through town in a red nightgown, Somebody head Corinne. She called in the neighbors to head me off, I made a high dive for the old hayloft; About daybreak, I must say, In the peanut hay sweet mama strayed. She's goin' through town in a red nightgown, Somebody head Corinne. [instrumental break] Well, the goobers flew and the hay went wild, Fireman, fireman, save my child! Never again will I settle down With the girl they call Corinna Brown. She's comin' through town in a red nightgown, Somebody head Corinne. [instrumental to end] from a 1932 Bluebird recording by Jimmie Davis, #B-5699-A



fixbutte 17th Apr 2015		Video from the Bluebird reissue (B-5699) added. Although "Red Nightgown Blues" was the A-side there (obviously because it had become, like "She's A Hum Dum Dinger", a secret hit), I have doubts that it was the A-side of the Victor original. [Edit: it was the B-side according to Victor files, record label has still to surface.]



thebluesneverdie 16th Apr 2015		The Shreveport Home Wreckers (Ed Schaeffer & Oscar Woods) feature on the A-side, which is a paean to sheer, unadulterated, uncensored filth. How many would have volunteered to "head Corrine", as per the singer's extremely generous invitation???!!. Copy sold on ebay 3 years ago for £100.00, which was an absolute steal.
