Aldin) (brief & condensed) notes about this song ) Big Bill Broonzy told Tommy not to use the 'n' word. But he got mad at Bill and said, 'Hell no, I'll never change my song'. Big Bill said he knew Tommy was right, the way he felt about it because he had sang the same words in another song of his before Tommy was born but knew better than to do it in the North... The next night Big Bill took Tommy to a party, Tommy sang his version of 'Bottle It Up And Go.' The song flopped and Big Bill had to put Tommy out the window and they ran 5 miles to one of Big Bill's friend's house. ~
