Sam and delilah


Delilah was a floozy
She never gave a damn
Delilah wasn't choosy
Till she fell for a swell buckaroo
Whose name was Sam

Delilah got in action
Delilah did her "kootch"
She gave him satisfaction
And he fell 'neath her spell
With the aid of love and "hootch"

But one day so they tell us
His true wife he did crave
Delilah she got jealous
And she tracked him and hacked him
And dug for Sam a grave

It's always that way with passion
So, cowboy, learn to behave
Or else you're liable to cash in
With no tombstone on your grave
Delilah, oh, Delilah

She's no babe in the wood
Run, cowboy, run a mile
If you love that kind of woman
She'll do you no good

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Edward Kennedy Ellington, noto come Duke Ellington, è stato un leggendario direttore d'orchestra, compositore e pianista jazz statunitense. Nato a Washington D.C. nel 1899, Ellington ha trascorso la sua vita a plasmare il panorama musicale americano. Iniziò suonando al piano in locali di Washington prima di trasferirsi a New York nel 1923, dove formò la sua band, inizialmente chiamata "The Duke's Orchestra". L'orchestra di Ellington divenne rapidamente una delle più famose del mondo, grazie alla sua musica innovativa e alle performance energiche. Ellington era un maestro nell'arte della composizione jazz, creando brani iconici come "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)", "Take the 'A' Train" e "Mood Indigo". Il suo stile musicale si caratterizzava per l'uso di melodie memorabili, arrangiamenti complessi e un ritmo contagioso. Ellington ha collaborato con alcuni dei più grandi musicisti jazz del XX secolo, tra cui Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday e Johnny Hodges. La sua influenza sul jazz è stata immensa, ispirando generazioni di musicisti e contribuendo a definire l'identità musicale americana. Ellington è morto nel 1974, lasciando un patrimonio musicale straordinario che continua ad essere apprezzato in tutto il mondo.
