The management said they were sorry
For the inconvenience you are suffering
And Mr. Booking Agent, please have mercy
Don't book the jobs so far apart
We went up to Griffith Park
With a fifth of Johnny Walker red
And smashed it on a rock and wept
While the old couple looked on into the dark
Oh, Richard, tell me if it's poker
Oh, Richard, tell me, who's got the joker and is it poker
Deuces wild, like an only child
I'll see what you got. How much is in the pot
You pay the tips and I'll collect the chips
It's a full house tonight--everybody in town is a loser
Yeah, you bet
The dealer's been dealing me bad hands
From the bottom of the deck without the slightest blush
And I don't know whether to call or check
But right now I feel like I got a royal flush
And my lady didn't show from 'Frisco
But we had to go on with the show
Everybody got stoned--it was a gas, it was a smash
Everybody got wrecked, checked. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, Belfast cowboy, lay your cards on the grade
Oh, Belfast cowboy, can you call a spade a spade
Oh, Richard, tell me, is the game poker
I can't understand who the fool is that holds this joker
Is it poker
Oh, Belfast cowboy, lay your cards down on the table
Oh, Belfast cowboy, do you think you're able
The Band è stato un gruppo rock canadese-statunitense formatosi a Toronto nel 1967 e scioltosi nel 1976 per poi riformarsi nel 1983 fino al 1999. La formazione originale comprendeva Robbie Robertson (chitarra), Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko e Levon Helm. Considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti della musica rock americana, The Band ha raggiunto la fama negli anni '70 grazie a un sound folk-rock caratterizzato da arrangiamenti orchestrali complessi e testi poetici. Il loro album di debutto, *Music from Big Pink* (1968), è considerato un classico del genere e ha contribuito a definire il suono della musica americana degli anni '70. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di The Band ricordiamo "The Weight", "Up on Cripple Creek" e "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". La band ha collaborato con numerosi artisti, tra cui Bob Dylan, con cui hanno suonato in tour negli anni '60 e '70. La morte di Richard Manuel nel 1980 e di Levon Helm nel 2012 hanno segnato la fine di un'epoca per The Band.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
