The song is a cover of Tennessee Williams' “Blanket Roll Blues”. However, it is strange in the fact that the original song was never released as a single, and was only featured in a scene from the 1959 movie “The Fugitive Kind”, where Marlon Brando plays a guitar in the back of a truck and sings it....
[Verse 1]
When I crossed the river
With a heavy blanket roll
I took nobody with me
Not a soul
[Verse 2]
I took a few provisions
Some for comfort, some for cold
But I took nobody with me
Not a soul
Blanket Roll Blues was written by Kenyon Hopkins & Tennessee Williams.
Blanket Roll Blues was produced by Scott Walker & Peter Walsh.
