My little girl is a country girl
My little girl is a country girl
Means more to me than anything in the world
She fixe my breakfast, lunch an' dinner
Fix 'em ri-ight on time
She fix my breakfast, lunch an' dinner
Fix 'em right on time
Glad to be back-a home
With that little girl of mine
That's why I'm glad, glad
Glad to be back home at last
Ooh-ooh, I'm glad, glad, glad
To be back home at last
Well, since I saw my baby
Yeah, many a day have past
Well, I roll in the station
Around 6:45
Yes, I roll in the station
Around 6:45
Should of seen my baby's face
To see my train arrive
It made me feel so good
To walk in the door
Yes, it made me feel so good
To walk in the door
Find ev'rything the same
Even my pallet on the floor
I said 'A-hi-i-i-i, baby
I won't worry you no more'
Yes, I said, 'Hi-i-i-i, baby
I won't worry you no more'
Well, I'm right where I belong
I ain't gon' run out that door.

Little Willie John, stage name of William Edward John (1937-1968), was an American singer and songwriter of rhythm and blues. Born in Montgomery, Alabama, John began his musical career in the 1950s, quickly becoming a key figure in the R and B scene thanks to his powerful voice and theatrical style. ?? Among his most notable successes are "All Around the World", "Fever" (which was later covered by Peggy Lee) and "Let It Rain". John collaborated with several prominent artists, including Ray Charles and Sam Cooke. His music has influenced generations of musicians and continues to be appreciated for its energy and emotional impact. John died prematurely in 1968 at the age of 31.

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
