Bluebird, if you get to Jackson
Please fly down on Shannon Street
Bluebird, if you get to Jackson
Please fly down on Shannon Street
I don't want you to quit flyin'
'Till you find Miss 'Daisy' Belle for me
Lacey Belle, she maybe not be at home
Please knock upon her do'
Well, she may be at home
Please knock upon her do'
Now, she will be maybe wit'
The next do' neighbor
Bluebird, you don't know
Look-a-here
Ooh, look-a-here, look-a-here
Look-a-here, babe
I mean, look-a-here, look-a-here
I love you, Lacey Belle
Sh-she doesn't know where, I can't tell
Bluebird, bluebird
Where in the world, you been so long?
Bluebird, bluebird
Where in the world, you been so long?
You must-a been out in Texas
If you had, yo' hat is on
Gon' sing this time

'Long time 'at he work, last boy'
I'm 'on sing this time
Ain't gon' sing 'em no mo'
Next time I sail
Be right where I wants to go.

Tommy McClennan was an American Delta blues singer and guitarist active from the 1930s to the 1950s. Born on April 8, 1908, his roots lie in the Mississippi region, the heart of classic blues. McClennan stood out for his powerful voice and incisive guitar style, influenced by artists like Charley Patton and Son House. His recordings, often performed in impromptu studio sessions, capture the raw and authentic essence of rural blues. Among his most notable songs are "I Got a Woman", "Black Snake Blues" and "Death Letter Blues". Despite his short recording career, McClennan left an indelible mark on the history of blues, contributing to defining the characteristic sound of this musical genre.

Do we want to define "I know you know me" a masterpiece? Yes, without a shadow of a doubt for at least two reasons. The first and most evident are the artists who interpret it: Caroline Spence and Matt Berninger, second for the deep and poetic text.
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.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
