The song "Travelling Riverside Blues" is actually a cover of a classic blues song originally written and recorded by Robert Johnson. Peter Green Splinter Group, led by British blues musician Peter Green, released their version of the song in 1999. The lyrics of the song depict the narrator's experiences with women in different towns along the Mississippi River. The narrator suggests that if his partner's man becomes too personal or overbearing, she should come back to Friar's Point (a location in Mississippi) where they can have some fun and enjoy the lively barrelhouse music all night long. The narrator mentions having relationships with women in Vicksburg, a town in Mississippi, all the way into Tennessee. However, his Friar's Point rider (referring to a woman he is involved with in Friar's Point) dominates his attention and affection. The lyrics also highlight the narrator's infatuation with a particular woman's appearance, stating that her front teeth are crowned with gold. This woman seems to have a significant hold over him, metaphorically owning his body and soul through some sort of mortgage or lien. The song also mentions Rosedale, another town in Mississippi, where the narrator plans to go with his partner. They intend to continue enjoying the barrelhouse music by the riverside. The mention of squeezing the lemon till juice runs down the leg is a euphemism for sexual activities. The narrator suggests that his partner can engage in such activities with him until they both reach satisfaction. Ultimately, the song concludes with the narrator revealing his intention to return to Friar's Point to revel in the lively music once again. Overall, "Travelling Riverside Blues" tells a tale of the narrator's experiences with love, relationships, and the vibrant blues music culture along the Mississippi River.
