Leroy Carr - Alabama Woman Blues free for downloading

Did you ever go down  On the Mobile and K C line Did you ever go down On the Mobile and K C line I Just wanna ask you Did you ever see that girl of mine I rode the Central And I hustled the L and N I rode the Central And I hustled the L and N The Alabama women They look like section men Don't cry baby Your papa will be home some day Don't cry baby Your papa will be home some day I went away baby But I did not go to stay Don't the clouds look lonesome Across the deep blue sea Don't the clouds look lonesome Across the deep blue sea Don't my gal look good When she's coming after me

Section men worked laying (reparing,etc) railroad tracks. So they definitely didn't live easy.

Complaining that, "Alabama women look like section men," not "live". Very beautiful. John Hammond did a class version acoustic over 50 years ago.

Must make mention here of his co=player the inimitable SCrapper Blackwell on guitar. Great filler licks delivered with taste and feel. A classic recording!

"The Alabama women, they live like section men" - does anybody know what he's talking about?
