RECORDINGS:
Tommy Johnson, "Lonesome Home Blues" (on StuffDreams2)
NOTES [92 words]: Three line blues: the first line is repeated -- more or less -- and the last line completes the thought.
Tommy Johnson recorded two different songs under this title. The first one, recorded for Victor, was not released; the second -- this song -- was recorded by Paramount (Paramount 13000,1929). Almost all internet references are to the unreleased Victor song. Fortunately, both songs are available on Document DOCD 5001, and the words to both are on Mudcat at [thread 36701, "Lyr Req: Lonesome Home Blues (Tommy Johnson)"], accessed June 18, 2020. - BS
