LAST FAIR DEAL GONE DOWN - by Robert Johnson - original
It's the last fair deal goin' down
last fair deal goin' down
It's the last fair deal goin' down, good Lord
on that Gulfport Island Road
Eh, Ida Belle, don't cry this time
Ida Belle, don't you cry this time
If you cry about a nickel
you'll die 'bout a dime
She wouldn't cry, but the money won't mine
I love the way you do
I love the way you do
I love the way you do, good Lord
On this Gulfport Island Road
My captain's so mean on me
my captain's so mean on me
My captain's so mean on m'-mmm, good Lord
On this Gulfport Island Road
Take camp tain he and see
camp ain't he and see
At scal ain't be at seen, good Lord
On that Gulfport Island Road
Ah, this last fair deal goin' down
it's the last fair deal goin' down
This' the last fair deal goin' down, good Lord
On this Gulfport Island Road
I'm workin' my way back home
I'm workin' my way back home
I'm workin' my way back home, good Lord
On this Gulfport Island Road
And that thing don't keep a-ringin' so soon
that thing don't keep a-ringin' so soon
And that thing don't keep a-ringin' so soon, good Lord
On that Gulfed and Port Island Road
Notes: 1. The Gulf&Ship Island Railroad linked the docks at Ship Island,
Miss., just off the mainland at Gulfport, with the main line at
Jackson. It ran through Hattiesburg and was completed July 4,
1900, its vice-president being the colorful Colonel William C.
Falkner, grandfather of the famous American novelist, William
Faulkner. It was purchased by the Illinois Central in July 1925
for five million dollars and over the next three years over one
and a half times that amount was spent on improvements!
2. The underlined passages above are phonetic approximations of
what Johnson sings, which, in truth, may be nonsensical
3. The "won't'' in the first verse is a dialectic substitute for
"weren't."
Im sure than its Jonas, whos choosed this name for CD
