single, 1939
Written by Big Bill Broonzy
A laid-back blues, with plenty of boogie-woogie piano. Broonzy recounts a dream in which he has a date with an angel, and another in which he has a big family, but then he wakes up to find them gone. Then, he has another dream: "Dreamed I was in the White House, sittin' in the President's chair / I dreamed he's shaking my hand, and he said, 'Bill, I'm so glad you're here'." Of course, this fantasy dissolves when he awakes as well. It could have happened, had he lived to see Obama in that chair!
