Guy Davis (born May 12, 1952) is an American blues guitarist,
banjo player,
and actor. He is the second child and the only son of the actors Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis.
Davis says his blues
music is inspired by the Southern speech of his
grandmother. Though raised in the New York
City area, he grew up hearing accounts of
life in the rural South from his parents and especially his grandparents, and
they made their way into his own stories and songs. Davis taught himself the guitar
(never having the patience to take formal lessons) and learned by listening to
and watching other musicians. One night on a train from Boston to New
York, he picked up finger
picking from a nine-fingered guitar player.
His first exposure to the blues was at a summer camp in Vermont run by Pete Seeger's
brother John Seeger, where he learned how to play the five-string banjo.
Well that 61 highway
is the loneliest road that I know
Well that 61 highway is the loneliest road that I know
She run from New York City run right by my baby’s door
Well some people say,
say the Greyhound busses they don’t run
Well some people say, say the Greyhound busses they don’t run
Well, go to West Memphis baby look down Highway 61
Please. Please see
somebody for me
Please. Please see
somebody for me
If you see my baby tell her she’s alright, she’s alright with me
If I should happen to
die doubt babe
Honey before you think my time have come
If I should happen to die doubt baby
Honey before you think my time have come
I want you to bury my body right there by Highway 61.
