Truckin' My Blues Away - Blind Boy Fuller

Truckin' My Blues Away - Blind Boy Fuller
3:08
single, 1936
Written by Blind Boy Fuller

Hey, I have a tiny suspicion that "truckin'" here might represent something more salacious than mere locomotion!  Oh Blind Boy Fuller, you rascal.  "Keep on truckin', baby, truckin' my blues away / Make a lame man run, make a blind man see, sure gets good when she truckin' with me."  It's classic blues double entendre, delivered with a grin.  A toe-tapping ragtime blues, it's got some sprightly fingerpicking that makes your head bob along.
