About
This authentic Blues track captures the essence of Delta hardship through a shuffling 12-bar progression, featuring gritty electric guitar bends and wailing harmonica fills that evoke a humid Southern night. The production maintains a raw, analog warmth with subtle tape saturation and minimal reverb, creating an intimate juke joint atmosphere where the male vocals deliver confessional storytelling. The groove sways mournfully yet infectiously, building to cathartic choruses that release pent-up frustration.
Lyrics
Woke up this morning Woke up this morning With a running load My baby left me In the midnight glow Lord have mercy Have mercy on this weary soul Lord, have mercy, ease this heavy load Gonna keep on walking down this lonesome road Train whistle blowin', callin' out my name Train whistle blowin', callin' out my name Callin' out my name But I can't order Change here just the same Lord have mercy On this weary soul Lord have mercy Say, ease this heavy load Gonna keep on walking Down this lonesome road One day the sun gonna shine on me Wash away the mud Rise up singin', finally feelin' free Whiskey in my bottle, burnin' like the sun Whiskey in my bottle Burning like the sun But it don't heal the hurt What my loving done Lord have mercy On this weary soul Lord have mercy Ease this heavy load Gonna keep on walking Down this lonesome road Thank you. Thanks for watching!
