"%22Gin House Blues%22 is the title of two different blues songs, which have become confused over the years. Both songs were first recorded by Bessie Smith. The song originally titled %22Gin House Blues%22 was written in 1925 by Fletcher Henderson and Henry Troy, and recorded by Bessie Smith with Henderson on 18 March 1926. It has the opening lines %22I've got a sad sad story today / I'm goin' to the gin house when the whistle blows...%22However, the song now most usually called %22Gin House%22 or %22Gin House Blues%22 \u2013 with the opening lines %22Stay away from me 'cause I'm in my sin / If this place gets raided, it's just me and my gin...%22 \u2013 is an entirely different song. It was originally entitled %22Me and My Gin%22, and was recorded by Bessie Smith on 25 August 1928 and released on Columbia 14384-D. It was written by %22Harry Burke%22, which may be a pseudonym of the pianist and songwriter James C. Johnson. It is this song which has been recorded by many musicians over the years under the title %22Gin House Blues%22 (see listing below), with authorship usually credited to Henderson and Troy, apparently in error." .
