Marie Marie
Playing guitar on the back porch
I sit in my car
While she sings so sad
Marie Marie

Marie Marie
It's so lonely in these farmlands
Please come with me
To the bright lights downtown
Marie Marie

I said, "Hey, pretty girl
Don't you understand
I just want to be your lovin' man"

Marie Marie
The sun is down in the corn fields
The evening is dark
And you sing so sad
Marie Marie

Marie Marie
I got two weeks in back pay
There's gas in my car
And your folks say I must go
Marie Marie

I said, "Hey, pretty girl
Don't you understand
I just want to be your lovin' man"

Marie Marie
Playing guitar on the back porch
I leave in my car
While you sing so sad
Marie Marie
Il tuo voto:
They want to hear that sound right from the USA
Well it can be sweet and lovely, it can be hard and mean
But one thing's for sure: it's always on the beam
They want to hear some American Music, American Music
They want to hear that sound right from the USA
It's a howl from the desert, the screams from the slums
The Mississippi rollin' to the beat of the drums
Because they're playing American Music, American Music
They want to hear that sound right from the USA
(bridge)

We got the Louisiana boogie and the Delta Blues
Country swing and rockabilly, too
We got jazz, country-western and Chicago blues
It's the greatest music that you ever knew
Well it's American Music,it's American Music
It's American Music
It's the greatest sound right from the USA
Well a US soldier boy has to stop right in his tracks
When he hears that crazy beat, he turns and doubles back
Because they're playing American Music, American Music
The whole world digs that sound from the USA
Il tuo voto:
(Dave Alvin)


Your father sat with the night's first drink
Your mother washed the dishes in the sink
You stood on the steps, wearing your best
One red rose on a new black dress

When we walked under the powerlines
I dreamed about it a thousand times
You weren't like the rest
One red rose on a new black dress

[Chorus]
One red rose on a new black dress
Crushing it between our chests
Tonight I'll wonder where you'll be
One dead rose is all I see

We hid in the weeds and we hid in the grass
Listening to the cars on the highway pass
Then you put me to the test
One red rose on a new black dress

[Chorus]

Then you said we could never come back
And walked awax through the housing tract
Leaving me with what's left
One red rose from a new black dress

[Chorus]

(Dedicated to the San Gabriel River Bed)
Il tuo voto:
Well one bad stud moved in my neighbourhood
Well one bad stud moved in my neighbourhood
He's big and man I know he ain't no good
He don't wear no hat, and Lord he don't wear no shoes
He don't wear no hat, and Lord he don't wear no shoes
He just hangs on the corner singing old country blues
[Chorus]
Oh well, one bad stud
One bad stud
One bad stud
One bad stud
I said, one, one, one, one,
One bad stud
If he likes your baby, you can kiss your baby goodbye
If he likes your baby, you can kiss your baby goodbye
'Cause the girls all love him like a schoolboy loves his pie
He loves his whiskey, he loves his rock 'n' rye
Yes, he loves his whiskey, he loves his rock 'n' rye
You know it takes ten bottles to make that fool get high
Well, he stole ten dollars and they locked that cat in jail
Well, he stole ten dollars and they locked that cat in jail
He got my baby to come and pay his bail
He's got great big muscles, Lord he looks like a bear
He's got great big muscles, Lord he looks like a bear
When the cat gets nervous you know I won't be there
Il tuo voto:
I've been around the world
And every man bleeds the same
But when the lights are dim
You never know who's to blame
I don't want no scars to show
I don't want no one to know
So I'll be killing time in the blue shadows
No other place for me to go
No other place for dying slow
So I'll be killing time in the blue shadows

I've been around the world
I take credit for the things I've done
But when the lights are dim
I'm not the only guilty one
I don't want no scars to show
I don't want no one to know
So I'll be killing time in the blue shadows

I've been around the world
And every story ends the same
But when the lights are dim
You won't remember my name
I don't want no scars to show
I don't want no one to know
So I'll be killing time in the blue shadows
No other place for me to go
No other place for dying slow
So I'll be killing time in the blue shadows

No other place for me to go
No other place for dying slow
So I'll be killing, just killing time
So I'll be killing time in the blue shadows
