Thank you my audiophile friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the audio recording of Robert Johnson performing 'Sweet Home Chicago" in recognition of the fact that on August 16, 1938, Delta-blues singer and guitarist Robert Leroy Johnson died at the age of 27.

'Sweet Home Chicago" written by Robert Leroy Johnson
Lyrics
""Sweet Home Chicago"

Come on, baby don't you want to go
Come on, baby don't you want to go
To the same old place, sweet home Chicago

Now, one and one is two, two and two is four
I'm heavy loaded baby, I'm booked, I gotta go
Cryin' baby, honey, don't you want to go
Back to the same old place, my sweet home Chicago

Come on, baby don't you want to go
Com on, baby don't you want to go
To the same old place, sweet home Chicago

Now two and two is four, six and two is eight
Come on baby, don't you make me late
I'm cryin' hey, baby, don't you want to go
To the same old place, sweet home Chicago

Come on, baby don't you want to go
Com on, baby don't you want to go
To the same old place, sweet home Chicago

Two and two is four, four and two is six
Keep staying out late at night you gonna get your business fixed

Six and two is eight, eight and two is ten
She double crossed you one time
And she gonna do it again

I'm going to Chicago, two thousand miles away
Boy won't you tell me that you'll be my friend someday"

In honor of his death at age 27 I am posting three blues guitarists performing rendition of tgis classic song
