(Paul Kennerley)
Oh, I got me a woman she's a pretty good woman at that
We live with a monkey and a Chinese acrobat
She calls me 'Tex', makes me wear a cowboy hat
But I don't care she's a pretty good woman at that
Nothing in the world make me treat that woman mean
She shaves my beard and she keeps my tractor clean
She burns my bread, makes me turn [Incomprehensible]
But I don't care she's a best little woman I've seen
Some folks they move out to California
And some folks they stay in Tennessee
And I don't care where I'm a headed
Just as long as that woman stand by me
Some folks they move out to California
And some folks they stay in Tennessee
Yeah, I don't care where I'm a headed
Just as long as that woman stand by me
Lookin' at the weather do they spend my nights at home
Talking with my baby and blowing on the [Incomprehensible]
She talks in turn oh, she really turns me on
With a woman like that a man never wants to roam
Some folks they move out to California
Some folks they stay in Tennessee
Yeah, I don't care where I'm a headed
Just as long as that woman stand by me
Just as long as that woman stand by me
Just as long as that woman stand by me

Mark Levon Helm (1940-2012) è stato un musicista, cantante e attore statunitense di fama internazionale. Noto soprattutto per essere stato il batterista e voce principale del leggendario gruppo rock canadese The Band, Helm ha contribuito a plasmare l'identità sonora della musica folk-rock degli anni '60 e '70. Nato in Arkansas, Helm iniziò la sua carriera musicale suonando con diversi gruppi locali prima di unirsi a Bob Dylan nel 1965 come batterista per il suo tour mondiale. Nel 1968, Helm fondò The Band insieme ad altri musicisti talentuosi, tra cui Robbie Robertson e Rick Danko. Il gruppo raggiunse la fama internazionale grazie all'album d'esordio del 1969, *Music from Big Pink*, considerato un capolavoro del folk-rock. Helm si distinse per il suo stile vocale potente e rauco, che conferiva ai brani di The Band una carica emotiva unica. Tra i successi più celebri del gruppo ricordiamo *The Weight*, *Up on Cripple Creek* e *The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down*. Dopo lo scioglimento di The Band nel 1976, Helm continuò la sua carriera musicale come solista, pubblicando diversi album di successo. Nel 2005, Helm ricevette il Grammy Award per l'album *Dirt Farmer*, un progetto che riuniva elementi del country e del bluegrass. Nel corso della sua lunga carriera, Levon Helm ha collaborato con numerosi artisti di fama internazionale, tra cui Eric Clapton, Neil Young e Paul Butterfield. Nel 2012, Helm è morto a causa di un cancro al cancro al cervello all'età di 71 anni. La sua eredità musicale continua ad ispirare generazioni di musicisti.
