Η επιτομή του cool, ο original Crawlin’ King Snake, η αυτού εξοχότης Texas Slim, Delta John, Birmingham Sam, The Boogie Man – μερικά από τα ψευδώνυμα με τα οποία έχει ηχογραφήσει κατά καιρούς ο John Lee Hooker.

❝ You know I’m a crawlin’ king snake, baby, and I rules my den
You know I’m a crawlin’ king snake, baby, and I rules my den
I don’t want you hangin’ around my mate; wanna use her for myself
You know you caught me crawlin’, baby, when the, when the grass was very high
I’m just gonna keep on crawlin’ now, baby, until the day I die
Because I’m a crawlin’ king snake, baby, and I rules my den
Don’t want you hangin’ around my mate; wanna use her for myself
You know I’m gon’ crawl up to your window, baby
Wanna crawl up to your door; you got anything I want, baby?
Wanna crawl up on your floor
Because I’m a crawlin’ king snake, baby, and I rules my den
You know you caught me crawlin’, baby, when the, when the grass was very high
I’m just gonna keep on crawlin’ now, baby, until the day I die
Because I’m a crawlin’ king snake, baby, and I rules my den ❞

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
