(詳細は〕 Originally recorded by Major "Big Maceo" Merriweather in 1941, "Worried Life Blues" was an early blues hit〔 and Maceo's most recognized song. It was inspired by an earlier song Someday Baby by Sleepy John Estes and has been recorded by hundreds of artists, including several who had record chart successes with their interpretations of the song. ==Background== "Worried Life Blues" is based on "Someday Baby Blues" recorded by Sleepy John Estes in 1935 (Decca 7279). Estes' song is performed as a vocal and guitar country blues, whereas Maceo's is a prototypical Chicago blues. To illustrate the lyrical differences of the originals, the first few verses are as follows: :"Worried Life Blues" Big Maceo (1941): ::Oh lordy lord, oh lordy lord ::It hurts me so bad, for us to part ::But someday baby, I ain't gonna worry my life anymore :"Someday Baby Blues" Sleepy John Estes (1935): ::I don't care how long you go, I don't care how long you stay ::But that good kind treatment, bring you back home someday ::Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry my mind anymore〔The refrain is paraphrased in Estes' epitaph "ain't goin' to worry Poor John's mind anymore".〕 Over the years the differences have become blurred by various cover versions of the songs, which use elements from both songs, often combined with new lyrics and variations in the music. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Worried Life Blues」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
