aka Mr Bad Luck

released before as Look Over Yonder


Lyrics

Look over yonder here come the blues The thirteenth of any time, powered by fools I can see 'em comin' Wearing a blue armoured coat You're sittin' here with your violins Hittin' wrong notes Look over yonder, he's comin' my way When he's around, I never have a happy day (you even bust my guitar strings) Look over yonder, look over yonder, look over yonder etc. Look over yonder Well, he's talkin' to my baby They found my peace pipe on her Now they're draggin' her away Lord knows we don't need a devil like him beatin' us around Well, he's knockin' on my door How my house is tumblin' down Now don't you come no closer The path is keepin' me bolder Wait by my door baby Unless you want to start another war Look over yonder, hey Look over yonder Look over yonder Look over yonder

Tracks

    As opposed to the version with 1988 overdubs that appeared recently on the "Valleys Of Neptune" album, this is the original stereo recording (it was in hissy mono on the "Lifelines" radio documentary).

    11. Mr. Bad Luck
    (Bad Luck 1)
  3. Valleys Of Neptune (1969/1987)
    05. Mr. Bad Luck
    This electric blues-rock number if one of the few original tunes the then-unknown Hendrix performed with the Blue Flame in tiny Greenwich Village nightclubs in 1966. The recording that appears on Valleys of Neptune dates from 1967's Axis: Bold as Love sessions with 1987 overdubs from bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell. The song was re-recorded in 1968 and released as "Look Over Yonder" on Hendrix's second posthumous studio album, Rainbow Bridge.
