Canned Heat - The Story Of My Life Lyrics






If my mother hadn't died, lord my father left his child at home
If my mother hadn't died, cause my father left his child at home
Well my life wouldn't be so miserable baby, I wouldn't feel so all alone

I was born in Alabama
Yeah, well I was raised up in Tennessee
I was born in Alabama
Yeah, well I was raised up in Tennessee
While I lived through all this sorrow someone's always tried to hurt poor me

Well, I'd rather be lyin' dead, sleepin' way down in my grave
Well, I'd rather be dead, sleepin' way down in my grave
Than to live all this sorrow. Yeah! And misery everyday

    I think Alan should have sung this, he poured is heart out in the other blues songs like “ Pulling Hair Blues”.... Even though he said in an interview he only felt comfortable singing things applicable to him at the time, I think he could have pulled this song off, even though he wasn’t “ born in Alabama and raised in Tennessee “ I feel that, although his mother didn’t die, she did appear to leave them with their dad early in his life, and the rest of the song seems pretty applicable also about people doing him wrong. He could have tapped into this blues song and belted out a winner!
