&#;Fixin&#; to Die Blues&#;
HEY LOCO FANS – On March 8, blues guitarist Bukka White recorded &#;Fixin&#; to Die Blues&#; in Chicago for record producer Lester Melrose. The song was written just days before, along with eleven others, at Melrose&#;s urging.
White was resuming his recording career, which had been interrupted by his incarceration for two and one-half years at the infamous Parchman Farm prison in Mississippi. While there, White witnessed the death of a friend and &#;got to wondering how a man feels when he dies&#;. His lyrics reflect his thoughts about his children and wife:
I&#;m looking funny in my eyes, an&#; I b&#;lieve I&#;m fixin&#; to die (2×)
I know I was born to die, but I hate to leave my children cryin&#; &#;
So many nights at the fireside, how my children&#;s mother would cry (2×)
&#;Cause I ain&#;t told their mother I had to say good-bye
White provides the vocal and acoustic slide guitar (which was borrowed from Big Bill Broonzy) with backing by Washb
