Alonzo "Lonnie" Johnson (February 8, 1899 – June 16, 1970) was an American blues and jazz singer/guitarist and songwriter who pioneered the role of jazz guitar and is recognized as the first to play single-string guitar solos. Johnson was not only one of the few black blues musicians invited to be 'guest featured' on a number of jazz recording sessions, he was also one of the only classic 1920's blues artists to have a revived a high-charting career after WWII. more »

When you down and in trouble, tell your trouble to the Lord above.
When you down and in trouble, tell your trouble to the Lord above.
‘Cause you never will be happy, until you find the one you love.

Like a prisoner without a plea, and sentenced without a trial.
Like a prisoner without a plea, and sentenced without a trial.
Like a beating heart longing for love, a heart that never smiles.

You can stay in a town so long, you can feel yourself sinkin' down.
You can stay in a town so long, you can feel yourself sinkin' down.
Best to change your way of livin', and you must change your town.

This mornin', I sure have got the blues.
This mornin', I sure have got the blues.
I've got a real good mama, to tell my trouble to.
