And does anyone know about the song 'Got A Mind To Give Up Living'? One of Peter's a la 'Worried Dream'? |
"I've got a good mind to give up living" was released on at least 2 bootlegs, one from January 4, 1970 (Fillmore West) and one from January 31, 1970 (New Orleans).
On the first, Peter Green played the best solo he ever played, in fact one of the most heartfelt blues guitar solos ever recorded. My English is not good enough to describe the feeling that this song gives me.
Although the song is also known as 'All over again', these words are actually not sung in the song (?).
It was written by Carl B. Adams, whoever he was/is.
Paul Butterfield & Mike Bloomfield also recorded a very good version.
I've got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
I say, I've got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
To pick up me a tombstone, and be pronounced dead
When I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
And that's when I decided, that I would be better off dead
It read, there is no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me back
Oh, there's no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me back
Yes, because it's all over now, and baby you can bet on that
