Sheba The Mississippi Queen - Blues of My Soul [studio]

“Blues OF My Soul”

I was born and raised in the heart of the Delta in Sunflower Mississippi. I left there with my twin sister and sever other brother and sister, when my mother took us to Florida to start a new life. It wasnu0027t in tell years later when we were putting together the Rhythm Kings, that the Snowman brought out this old guitar, and sound of that slid singing across those string brought me right back to my Mississippi home. I remember Old Mr. John used to play that same way on the pouch after a hard day picking cotton. ------------
Music...
Sometimes we would work the whole day picking or chopping cotton, and if the moon was full they would work us late in to the night by the light of that fat delta moon. You could hear Old Mr. John on the pouch playing that Bottler Neck Guitar and somebody we would started sing along, and soon the whole field would join in; some night we were just too tired to sing so we would just. Mum muumuu mum
The Delta summer were hot and steamy, I use to bring water out to the folk in the field. My grandmother would take a drink of that cold water, and wipe the sweat from her face. I would watch her as she look across the cotton at a cloud of dust come up the road. She would keep her eyes on that big greyhound until it made it stop and turn back into a cloud of dust, and disappear into the distant. With a tear in her eye s my grandmother would say going my way but it just ant my day. You know my grandma you say going my way but it ant my day.
