Conway Twitty & Charles Haney
(L.E. White - Charles Haney)
Every son wants to follow in the footsteps of his dad
That's why my boy is in this cell next to me
Tonight I'll sing him a song about mama and home
For tomorrow he'll meet his destiny.
So I'll sing him a song about mama and home
It's all that's kept him from losing his mind
I'll sing him a song about mama and home
but tonight I'll sing my last time.
(In the morning at sunrise they're gonna take my boy out to hang
And the scaffold and thirteen steps they built near by my door
But I know that when the warden leads him past my cell
Yes, he's gonna say papa sing me a song once more)
Papa sing me a song about mama and home
It's all that's kept me from losing my mind
Papa sing him a song about mama and home
But sing a song to die by this time.
Papa sing a song to die by this time...
Conway Twitty, pseudonimo di Harold Lloyd Jenkins (1933-1993), è stato un leggendario cantautore e chitarrista statunitense. Nato in Arkansas, ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '50 come rockabilly, ottenendo successo con il gruppo The Imperials. Nel 1965, dopo una breve parentesi nel country, ha abbracciato lo stile pop-country che lo avrebbe reso famoso. Con un timbro vocale inconfondibile e melodie orecchiabili, Twitty ha dominato le classifiche country per oltre due decenni, vendendo milioni di dischi e ottenendo numerosi premi. Tra i suoi successi più celebri figurano "Hello Darlin'", "It's Only Make Believe" e "Tight Fittin' Jeans". Twitty è considerato uno dei pilastri del country music moderno, la cui influenza si percepisce ancora oggi nelle nuove generazioni di artisti.
