Es una canción de finales de 1800, y a lo largo del tiempo ha sufrido varios cambios en su letra

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore
from the green New Hampshire mountains to the southlan's cajun lore
she's mighty tall and handsome
and loved by one and all
she's the combination
called the wabash cannonball
Oh listen to the jingle
the rumble and the roar
as she glides along the woodlands
through the hills and by the shore
hear the mighty rush of her engine
hear that lonesome hobo's call
we're travelling through the jungles
on the wabash cannonball
Your eastern states are dandies
so the people always say
from New York to St. Louis
and Chicago by the way
trhough the hills of Minnesota
where the rippling waters fall
no changes can be taken
on the wabash cannonball
Here's to Daddy Klaxton
may his name forever stand
and always be remembered
through the courts of Alabama
his earthly race is over
the curtains 'roung him fall
we'll carry him on to Glory
on the wabash cannonball
She pulled in to the station one cold December day
as she rolled up to the platform you could hear all the people say
there's a gal from Tennessee, she's long and she's tall
she came down from Birmingham
on the wabash cannonball

Un saludo.
Santi.

Wonderin', Wonderín
who's kissing you
wonderin', wonderin'
if you're wonderin' too
every hour through the day
since you've been a way
i keep sonderin', yes, wonderin'
if you're wonderin' too
i pray every night
to the good Lord above
to send back to me
the one i really love

...1950, el compositor Danny Mayo nace en Gadsden, Alabama. Escribe, entre otros éxitos, la canción "Jesus and mama" de Confederate Railroad. He elegido esta canción por que me encanta.




I made a wish upon a star
i could have a brand new car
got tired of wishing
so i stole one
Seventeen and knew it all
my dreams were big
but my thoughts were small
so many roads somehow i chose
the wrong one
But Jesus and mama always loved me
even when the devil took control
Jesus and mama always loved me
this i know
II felt tried most all my life
found new kinds of lows and highs
never been a husband but i've had
a lot of wives to hold me
Headstrong, stubborn, couldn't be told
like a wild horse that couldn't be rode
a rainbow chaser hungry for gold
and still searchin'
But Jesus and mama always loved me
even when the devil took control
Jesus and mama always loved me
this i know
I wish mom could see me now
and how i've turned it all around
lately i've been going down
the right road
Life's apicture that you paint
with blues and grays, cans of canvas
heaven knows i'm not a saint
but i know
Jesus and mama always loved me
even when the devil took control
Jesus and mama always loved me
this i know

(Danny Mayo, James Dean Hicks)

... 1954, Hank Snow graba "Let me go, lover".



Teresa Brewer



Wanda Jackson




Let me go, let me go, let me go, woman
let me be, set me free, from your spell
you made me weep, cut me deep, i can't sleep woman
i was cursed, from the first, day i fell
You don't want me, but you want me, to go on wanting you
how i pray that, you will say that, we're thru
please turn me loose, what's the use, let me go, woman
let me go, let me go, let me go.

(Jenny Lou Carson and Al Hill)
