Picture On The Wall Lyrics


Yes, you know your picture done faded now, baby, darling, you left hanging up on the wall
Yes, you know your picture done faded now, baby, darling, you lea hanging up on the wall
Yes you know it done faded so now, baby, I can't see your face at all
Still, that old clock is ticking, baby, you left hanging on the side
Yes, you know that clock's still ticking, baby, you left hanging on the side
Yes, you know it put my mind on to wondering, make me want to catch some freight train and ride
Yes I would have done caught me a freight train, but there is nary
a one going my way
Yes I would have done caught me a freight train, nary a one is going my way
Yes, but if I don't see you pretty soon, I hope I'll meet you some old rainy day

Sam Hopkins was born on March 15, 1912 in Centerville, Texas. In 1920, at the age of eight, Hopkins met and played with the legendary Blind Lemon Jefferson, even becoming Jefferson's guide for a short time. Hopkins' cousin, the great bluesman, Texas Alexander, was another influence. Their musical partnership was broken up by Hopkins' time in Houston's County Prison Farm during the 1930s. When Hopkins made his way to Houston's Third Ward in 1946 he was introduced to Lola Anne Cullum, a talent scout who had pieced together deals with companies such as Aladdin Records out of Los Angeles.
