Voice and banjo. This song is included here to demonstrate Roscoe’s banjo playing way up the neck – and reveals the same sense of blues notes and timing which is heard in his mouth harp performances. There is an old commercial phonograph recording of this song, done with a mouth harp.
When I'm single I dress mighty fine
Hand me down my walking shoes
I'm going back to old Aunt Dinah
Cause I got the married life blues
I'm going back to old Virginia
Hand me down my walking shoes
I'm going back to old Aunt Dinah
Cause I got the married life blues
She looked down the road and seen me a comin'
Hand me down my walking shoes
And I thought to my soul that she'd kill herself a-running
Cause I got the married life blues
Married Life Blues was produced by John Cohen.
Roscoe Holcomb released Married Life Blues on Fri Jan 01 1965.
