  • AnonymousLove this bluesy song! Man, can you believe Perry Bradford wrote a lyric about getting a gun and shooting a cop?! Today is August 8, 2020. this was recorded exactly 100 years ago two days from today! Black Lives Matter! Even back then...

    "I'm gonna do like a Chinaman
    Go and get some hop
    Get myself a gun, and shoot myself a cop
    I ain't had nothin' but bad news
    Now I've got the crazy blues"
