Rocky Mountain Blues

Lyrics: Traditional?
Music: Traditional?

This circulates on a tape thought to be the Second Story Men from sometime in 1963. It's just Pigpen on guitar and vocals.

He introduces this with:

"Well, I can't do much .. said about these blues, except that, come by a guy from Texas, heard about the Rocky Mountains, he'd been out there. And he's come back in Texas again, and, it's like, you know, he's telling his friends about what's going on in the Rocky Mountains."
Lyrics:
Hey, now them Rocky Mountains
When I was way out in the West now
Well, I said, that old Rocky Mountains
They's way out in the West
You know I got so many women right out there baby
I can't tell who I love the best

Well you know I got [?] out down
I got Katie Mae too
Got so many women right out there baby
Keep me so blue, well those old Rocky Mountains
Kept me stay out in the West
Well, just like I said before, baby
I got so many women I don't know who I love the best

Well you know I said them old Rocky Mountains
That's the place that I long to be
Well that old Rocky Mountain, baby
That's the place that I long to be
Well, there's just one thing I'm going to ask my angel, now
Will you please remember me

Well you know I said them Rocky Mountains is so evil
Got them women right out there
And the women walk all over your mind
Don't know what to do
But them women is fine
Well if you know just what to do
But, man, if you got a weak soul now
Women gonna walk all over you
