Lyrics for Song: Blues Medley
Lyrics for Album: Major Moves [1984]
Blues Medley: My Starter Won't Start This Morning/Hold Up Your Head/
One Kind Favor/Trouble In Mind
H= You know I ain't crazy 'bout nothing, but money, women, and blues
H= You know my starter won't start this morning
You know my motor won't even turn
J= My starter won't start this morning
My motor won't even turn
H= I'm running with a fast class of women
Caused my little car to ruin
H= Hold up your head
J= Hold up your head, baby
H= Darling you've got your chin where mine is suppose to be
J= Hold up your head, baby
H= Hold up your head, baby
J= You've got your chin where mine is suppose to be
H= You've got your chin where mine is suppose to be
I just wanna lay my head up in your bosom
Lord, that would be such a good rest for me
R[?]= I ain't gonna cry over you no more baby oh no
J[?]= Come on come on
H= You know it's one kind of favor I'd ask of you
You know it's one kind of favor I'm gonna ask of you
J= One kind, one kind of favor
H= You know it's one kind of favor I would ask of you
Keep my grave stone clean when I'm gone
R= Always remember my little darling when I'm dead, I'm gone
Always remember my little darling when I'm dead, I'm gone
J= I don't, I don't, I don't have to worry
H= I know soon you'll be coming on [Aw yes my baby?]
I've gotta play
H= Have mercy
R= On me
H= Troubled mind, I'm blue, but I won't be blue always
I know that sun is gonna shine in my back door one of these days
I'm gonna lay my head on some lonesome railroad line
I'm gonna let one of them big 1800s pacify this worried mind
H= My string done slipped off the bridge

Blues Medley - Hank Williams Jr.
Hank Williams Jr.'s "Blues Medley" stands as a quintessential example of his mastery over the country blues genre, showcasing the raw energy and improvisational flair that defined his career. Recorded for the 1984 album *Major Moves*, the track exemplifies the "Outlaw" sound that Williams cultivated, blending traditional Delta blues structures with the gritty, honky-tonk instrumentation characteristic of his era. As a medley, the recording likely weaves together multiple classic blues themes, allowing the artist to demonstrate his deep roots in the musical tradition while asserting his own distinct voice. The performance captures the late 1980s period of his discography, where he continued to refine his signature style, characterized by powerful vocals and a driving rhythm section. This work remains a significant representation of his contribution to American roots music, preserving the spirit of the blues while pushing its boundaries through his unique interpretation. |
