from Oannes *

Το κλασικό μπλουζ, από τον Willie Dixon, τον άνθρωπο που το έγραψε, όπως και πολλά ακόμα που έγιναν διάσημα από άλλους καλλιτέχνες : Howlin’ Wolf [‘Back Door Man’ -1960], Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Koko Taylor, Otis Rush κάποιοι απ’ αυτούς.
“I Am The Blues” : Μπορεί κανείς σίγουρα να συγχωρήσει την “αλαζονεία” του τίτλου αυτού του άλμπουμ…

✻

The classic blues song, by Willie Dixon, the man who wrote it, along with several more made famous by other artists : Howlin’ Wolf [‘Back Door Man’ -1960], Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Koko Taylor, Otis Rush some of them.
“I Am The Blues” : One can definitively forgive the “arrogance” of this album’s title…

❝ I am a back door man.
I am a back door man.
Well the men don’t know, but the little girls understand.
When everybody’s sound asleep,
I’m somewhere making my midnight creep.
Yes in the morning, the rooster crow.
Something tell me, I got to go.
I am a back door man.
I am a back door man.
Well the men don’t know, but little girls understand.
They take me to the doctor. Shot full o’ holes.
Nurse cried, please save the soul.
Killed him for murder, first degree.
Judge’s wife cried. Let the man go free.
I am a back door man.
I am a back door man.
Well the men don’t know, but little girls understand.
Stand out there. Cop’s wife cried.
Don’t take him down. Rather be dead.
Six feets in the ground.
When you come home you can eat pork and beans.
I eats mo’ chicken any man seen
I am a back door man.
I am a back door man.
Well the men don’t know, but the little girls understand ❞
