My baby's a crap shooter
And she shoots 'em like a man
My babe, she's a crapshooter
And she shoots em' like a man
And ev' since she been shooting craps
Woo-well-well, she been going from hand to hand
Sometime she wins
But the most time she lose
Sometime she win
But now the most time she lose
But now when she lose
Woo-well-well, then I have the crap shooting blues
She told me to always
Bet that the dice won't pass
She told to always
Bet that the dice won't pass
But ev'rytime since I been bettin' that way
Woo-well-well, I been had a raggedy yas, yas, yas.
Since I have been shooting craps
I can't win a cent
Since I have been shooting craps
I can't win a cent
Well, I can't win enough dough
Woo-hoo-well-well, now to even pay my rent
I'm tellin' all you crapshooters
Now to let crapshooting go
I am telling all you crapshooters
Woo-well, to let crapshooting go
'Cause now you will be stone barefooted
Woo-well-well, then again and outta dough.

Peetie Wheatstraw, stage name of William Bunch (1903-1956), was an American blues musician and singer. Considered a key figure in the blues of the 1930s, his music was characterized by often dark and provocative lyrics that dealt with themes such as the devil, death, and forbidden love. Despite his iconic image being depicted holding a resophonic guitar, Wheatstraw preferred the piano for his recordings. His music has influenced generations of blues and rock 'n' roll artists, helping to define the image of the bluesman as a dark and mysterious figure. Among his most representative songs are "I'm Gonna Be A Devil", "The Devil's Got My Woman" and "Peaches and Cream".
In the realm of rock 'n' roll, there are few names as iconic as Queen, and within the Queen pantheon, Brian May stands out not only as a legendary guitarist but also as an astrophysicist with a profound connection to NASA.
Hip-hop, one of the most influential cultural movements of the 20th and 21st centuries, has recently reached a significant milestone - it's turning 50 years old.
Coachella Festival 2022: here we are. In two days the doors of one of the most anticipated musical events of the year will open, even more so after the last two years in which for very obvious reasons the live music sector has suffered a very important setback.
The 2022 Grammy Awards were the chronicle of an announced triumph: Jon Baptiste collected 11 nominations and won 5 Grammys, defeating all opponents. This was also the year of the very young Olivia Rodrigo, who managed to take home 3 Grammys, including the the best new artist.
Here is finally some good news, the Arcade Fire have finally revealed the title and release date of their new album, 5 years after the last one. For the fan of the group it has been a time that seemed eternal,
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
It has been talked about for almost 3 years, rumored and it is hoped that sooner or later they will arrive at a collaboration, and now we are satisfied: the Catalan singer Rosalia and the American musician Oneohtrix finally announce the publication of a piece together!
