Furry Lewis records I Will Turn Your Money Green, Judge Harsh Blues and other tracks in Memphis, Tennessee, USA, for Victor Records. The first of those two songs includes the line "I been down so long, it seem like up to me" which, in 1966, will be adapted by Richard Farina as the title of his book Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me. Then, in 1971, Jim Morrison of The Doors will record the song Been Down So Long on the album L.A. Woman, which borrows the 1966 Farina version of Furry Lewis's 1928 lyric as its opening line.
