Outlaw Blues - Track 1: Crossroad Blues

Contributed by Nazmythian on Wednesday, 23rd February 2005 @ 08:41:56 PM in AEST
Topic: group



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We gonna tell y'all a story
s'gather round and lend an ear
it's about a man of record
you just never mind the year

Born into a boxcar
of a colored southern belle
so began the legend
of a man called Slide Cotrelle

He weren't so much an angry man
as a attitude gone bad
and a guitar playin blues man
who done gave it all he had
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Slide Cotrelle's
Crossroad Blues
_____________________________

My Daddy done tol' me
"Don'tcha do like I done
You learn to play tha hard way
Don' chu take no short cuts son"

Then he took me to a crossroads
Where he said it all went down
Some VooDoo woman told him
He'd play the Hottest Soul around

He'd just have to choose ...
But beware a those blues

(She said)
A man would meet him out there
And he'd know just what to do
Be sure you read tha fine print
Or you'll be singin the blues
The Crossroad blues
Get the Crossroad blues

So I stood at that crossroad
Beside my old man
And I watched as he pleaded
His hat in his hands

He said "I was jus' a young boy
I didn't have no sense"
( The Devil said )
"You coulda bought it back, child
Before all your money was spent

But now its no use
Got the Crossroad blues"

When your debts are made up of blood and bone
And the Devil calls his due
There ain't no gettin around it son
Your soul is gonna lose
And you get the blues
The Crossroad blues

Well the Devil took my daddy
When I was just a kid
They left me alone and I never went home
I been on the run ever since
I learned the blues
The Crossroad blues

I got the
Just can't take it
Lord can't shake it
Let me break it down ~
For you
Blues

The Crossroad blues

(after a moment in stunned silence) *applauds wildly*

I met a man called Bread once... he was headed home, I was headed... to a place I wasn't quite sure I should even be going. He - was extraordinary - more alive at 67 than most of us ever get to be. We got to talking (I think we were supposed to) ...learned the details of each other's lives... and... saw each other underneath the details. And then... high above the world... right there in Row 29... in the middle of a crowded airplane... he sang to me.

Reading this... was very much like THAT.

He... will forever be the essence of The Blues to me. And this - is closer than I've come to being able to describe him.

Fabulous, fabulous piece! I absolute adore this!
