Lemon is my man! He and Charley Patton are my all-time favorite blues giants, bar none! But yeah, McTell (who came a little later, and from Georgia) was no slouch either, and the song I posted is one of my favorites. ("Travelin' Blues" is another one) (Blind Willie McTell wrote "Statesboro Blues", which The Allman Brothers covered on "Live At The Fillmore East" Hard to pick which is the definitive version, they're totally different from each other, but equally perfect!).

So happy you dug him!

John Lennon: Living On Borrowed Time (summer 1980)

John Lennon: Living On Borrowed Time (autumn 1980, unfinished)

When I was younger
lived in confusion and deep despair
When I was younger
Living illusion of freedom and power

When I was younger
Full of ideas and broken dreams
When I was younger
Everything simple but not so clear

Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

Now I am older
The more that I see the less that I know for sure
Now I am older
The future is brighter and now is the hour

Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

It's good to be older
Would not exchange a single day or a year
It's good to be older
Less complications, everything clear

Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

Gone at 40. What a waste.
