Songs with place names in the title

[White Knight]

I've been trying to think of more, but why, why, didn't I think of John Coltranes' "Alabama"?
That piece, and "After the Rain", are my two favorite John Coltranes'.
Like Sheryl Crow sang, I too, "derailed my own train with Coltrane".

Here's what I thought of, this morning.

Joshua (fit the battle of Jerico)

Wabash Cannonball

John,"Alabama" is indeed a beautiful and haunting piece, especially given the context in which it was composed and performed [the killing of the little black girls who were attending church and died in it after it was bombed].

Procol Harum--"The Devil Came From Kansas" :devil:

 

[White Knight]

Mountain--"Nantucket Sleigh Ride" and "Mississippi Queen"
​

 

[White Knight]

Tim Hardin--"The Lady Came From Baltimore" {covered by Joan Baez and Bobby Darin}

St James Infirmary Blues Should be ashamed of myself for not thinking of this first

[John Watt]

Yes, one of the most traditional, and reliable, blues addresses, maybe even jazzy.
Even I got down about St. James Infirmary, having to play that song in one band.
It's never funny when a fellow band member thinks every band has to play a blues.
Especially when he starts talking about being there.
That's one song I never want to have the best version of.

" A Rose Grows in Brooklyn Square"

"San Franscisco", "If you're going to San Franscisco, you've got to put a flower in your hair".
Yeah, things have gone more latex since then.

Sorry about that, Teddy; I just remembered that song recently. I used to listen to a lot of Joni Mitchell when I was younger.

Allman Brothers--"Statesboro Blues"

"My Nova Scotia Home", Hank Snow

"The Hissing of Summer Lawns", no address, making less sense even on the other side of the fence.
