When he finally gets there she's dead, where after he lapses into a period of alcoholic remorse .. not for me, it remains a mystery why so many singers / bands / groups have covered it.
As a kid in New Orleans, Blues and Jazz were all around me. Had to be there in the good old days before the more modern music. Mardi Gras was music central for two weeks Plus, before all the air conditioning, the clubs on Bourbon Street had the doors open and music poured into the streets. I loved that scene as a kid.
If you study the history of popular music, you'd know that all modern music came out of Blues and Jazz and black gospel, especially in south east Arkansas, all in the 1920's. I can even pinpoint the one fellow who built rock and roll music as a popular music form. And everything came out of that.
As for the Blues music, there's always room for sad songs. It's because so many people have hard lives. It's why Country/Western music remains popular. People can relate to hard times music.
