Herman E. Calloway and the Dusky Devastators of the Depression!!!!!!

Hey y'all -

Back for a brief bit. Wanted to share this hot piece of jazz from Herman E. Calloway and the Dusky Devastators of the Depression!!!!!! called "Everyone 'Round Here."


Here are the lyrics:


Some folks ride the rails out to Hooverville,
Some take 66 out to Bakersfield,
Some kids lookin' for their mom and pop,
Others just lookin' for a lemon drop.


Everyone 'round here is on some kind of journey.
Who'd have thought we'd sink so low in the 1930s?
We've got radios, and fast machines,
beggars on the corner, broken dreams.

Everyone 'round here is on some kind of journey.


Think about the workers out in Cal-i-for-ni-a.
Can't feed a family on just a dollar a day.
Hard-luck riveters in Michigan
try to get together, and they tell 'em they can't.

Everyone 'round here is on some kind of journey.
Who'd have thought we'd sink so low in the 1930s?
To rich folks and screwed up policies,
we're just rats in a maze tryin' to find the cheese.


Everyone 'round here is on some kind of journey.


Everyone 'round here is on some kind of journey.

Hope you enjoy the song!!!!!!

Peace out,

Jodacious
