Old Cap Moore was a bakery hand
Loaded trucks at night
The hungry cries of the alley kids
Made Old Cap close his eyes
He turned his back while the kids ran up
Grabbed a good hot loaf of bread
The kids run home, but when payday come
Cap Moore was in the red
Because the bakery boss did count the loss
And he wrote it in his book
He docked Old Cap full retail price
For the bread the kids had took
Old Cap he jammed the backdoor latch
So the door did fly unlocked
The hungry kids picked up that bread
For ten or twenty blocks
Mister, I'm a-tellin' you
Everything I've said is true
No alley kid had a friend as sure
As Old Cap Moore
That boss took the driver and Cap to court
But he could not make it stick
The driver swore, "I did not know
"Those doors had come unhitched."
Old Cap says, "Boss, I'ma quitting you
"And I am quitting now
"I've got friends to put me up
"In every house in town."
Mister, I'm a-tellin' you
What the old man said was true
It's an open hand and an open door
For Old Cap Moore
Mister, I'm tellin' you
One thing I know is true
To even the score we need a whole lot more
Like Old Cap Moore
Woody Guthrie (1912-1967) è stato un cantautore, musicista e attivista americano considerato uno dei pionieri della musica folk americana moderna. Nato a Okemah, Oklahoma, Guthrie ha trascorso la sua infanzia durante la Grande Depressione, un'esperienza che ha profondamente influenzato la sua musica. Le sue canzoni spesso trattavano temi sociali come la povertà, l'ingiustizia e il lavoro, diventando una voce per i lavoratori e gli oppressi. ?? Guthrie è stato un sostenitore fervente del Partito Comunista americano e ha utilizzato la sua musica per promuovere le cause socialiste. La sua influenza sulla musica folk americana è immensa, ispirando generazioni di artisti come Bob Dylan, Joan Baez e Bruce Springsteen. Alcuni dei suoi brani più famosi includono 'This Land Is Your Land', 'Blowin' in the Wind' (anche se quest'ultima è stata resa celebre da Bob Dylan) e 'Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)'.

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.
