Grazie a Sever, esperto e conoscitore della musica popolare america dello scorso secolo, per avermi fatto conoscere quest’artista.
Qui sotto il web ufficiale ove trovare info sulla sua vita e musica:
Canzone della tradizione afro americana.
Cantata dalla nipote di nove anni.
Chitarra suonata splendidamente. Bellissimo e funzionale l’accompagnamento sui bassi.
Il risultato è magico.
Il testo è bello e trasuda di vita.
“Ho dato tutto quello che avavo in pegno ma me la sono spassata”

Testo:
Have a little song
Won’t take long
Sing it right
Once or twice
Oh, lordy me
Didn’t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my watch
Pawn my chain
Pawn everything that was in my name
Oh, lordy me
Didn’t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn by buggy
Horse and cart
Pawn everything that was on my lot
Oh, lordy me
Didn’t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my chair
Pawn my bed
Ain’t got nowhere to lay my head
Oh, lordy me
Didn’t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my tobacco
Pawn my pipe
Pawned everything that was in my sight
Oh, lordy me
Didn’t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Have a little secret
I ain’t gonna tell
I’m going to heaven in a brown pea shell
Oh, lordy me
Didn’t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my farm
Pawn my plough
Pawned everything, even pawned my old cow
Oh, lordy me
Didn’t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Pawn my hat
Pawn my shoes
Pawned everything that I could use
Oh, lordy me
Didn’t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
have a little secret,
I ain’t gonna tell
I’m goin’ to heaven and I ain’t goin’ no…
Oh, lordy me
Didn’t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Chew my tobacco
Spit my juice
We raise cain but it ain’t a bit ‘a use
Oh, lordy me
Didn’t I shake sugaree?
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned
Everything I got is done and pawned.
