Story behind the song
Every time I hear electroswing I have a pissed off Black Dynamite in the back of my head yelling :
"You shut your mouth when grown men are crying. Now grieve mo****fucker."
This is techno.
It's my take on the saint James infirmary blues, I don't know who wrote it, I just grew up with it.
Ana Barbara performed the lyrics and I shamelessly sampled Duke Ellington's version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy8GcLHWMdE
Lyrics
I went down to Saint James infirmary.
I saw my baby there.
So pale, so frail, so fair.
Let him go, let him go, god bless him.
Wherever he may be.
He'll never find a girl as sweet as me.
Now you know my story take a shot of the booze.
Drink up and tell everybody:
I got the Saint James infirmary blues.
