CHILD OF CLAY
Jimmie Rodgers
Into the darkness he was sent by parents'
Who were ignorant hm, hm
Tied down to his mother's strings
Unable to be anything hm, hm
Puzzled by the things he hears
The father thinking work comes first
Ain't got the time to quench a thirst
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Once he was a child, a beautiful child
A child of clay shaped and molded
Into what he is today
But who is to blame for this child of clay
Going out into the street at night
The answers he may meet hm hm
With sick and twisted minds
He shares the searching questions
His heart bears hm hm
And from the dregs
The answers find their way into his supple mind
In time the planted seeds will grow
Into a twisted vine below
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
And now his aimless days begin
To drift into sordid sin hm, hm
And soon his dislike turns to hate
As the stamp of life seals his fate hm, hm
and so the night conceals his name
And the days sleep off his shame
Deprived of love and wrought by fear
A feeling that the end is near
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Jimmie Rodgers (James Charles Rodgers), noto come "The Singing Brakeman", "The Blue Yodeler" o "Father of Country Music", è stato un cantante statunitense di grande successo negli anni '20 e '30. Nato in Mississippi nel 1897, Rodgers iniziò la sua carriera lavorando come bracciante ferroviario prima di dedicarsi alla musica country. La sua voce potente e il suo stile unico, caratterizzato da una ritmica jodel, lo resero un'icona del genere. Rodgers è considerato uno dei pionieri della musica country moderna, influenzando generazioni di artisti successivi. Alcuni dei suoi brani più famosi includono "Blue Yodel No. 1", "T for Texas" e "In the Jailhouse Now". La sua influenza sulla musica americana è immensa, e Rodgers continua ad essere celebrato come una leggenda del country music.
