Notes

This song is a great story of the underbelly of life down in the city of New Orleans. It was made famous by the Animals in the 1960s but was first recorded by Georgia Turner, a 16 year old daughter of a coal miner, in 1937. Since then it's been recorded by many other artists in many different styles. See links to the resources below.
