Worried Man Blues: 

Mein erstes Liederbuch ( mit 15/16 Jahren) – darin handgeschrieben: “Worried Man Blues” –
und singe Woody Guthrie – ohne es zu wissen, wer er ist.

Ca 1975/76 schreibe ich auf “Worried Man Blues” den deutschen Text:  “Trauriger Mann Blues” – BaierWestrupp, Jau, und mit der  “Walter h.c.Meier Pumpe”

Round and round Hitlers grave –

Lyrics – Woody Guthrie / Lampell / Seeger

1. Wish I had a bushel – Wish I had a peck
   Wish I had old Hitler with a rope around his neck.
2. Round and round we go
   We`re gonna lay that poor boy down
   An he won`t get up no more.
3. The German went to Russia –
   And search of Russian oil
   But the only oil that they found there
   Was the pot in which they boiled.
4. The German Army General Staff –
   I gues they miss connection
   Traveld a hundred miles aday –
   But in the wrong direction.
5. We`re going salt his beef –
   And hang it up to fry…
6.  Just so the road we`re reaveling on –
   leads into Berlin.Chorus:We`re gonna lay that poor boy down –
   And he won`t get up no more.

Chorus:
Round an round Hitler`s grave –
Round and round we go..

Midnight special – saints ramblers 1962

Midnight special – Lead Belly – Woody
Midnight Special – Lyrics –
Lead Belly / Woody Guthrie

Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me.
Oh let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin’ light on me.

When you gets up in the morning, when that big bell ring.
You go marching to the table, you meet the same old thing.
Knife and fork are on the table, ain’t nothing in my pan.
And if you say a thing about it, you have a trouble with the man.

Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me.
Oh let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin’ light on me.

Yonder comes Miss Rosie. How in the world do you know?
Well, I know her by the apron and the dress she wore.
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand,
Well, I’m callin’ that Captain, “Turn a-loose my man.”

Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me.
Oh let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin’ light on me.

If you ever go to Houston, boy, you better walk right,
And you better not squabble and you better not fight.
Benson Crocker will arrest you, Jimmy Boone will take you down.
You can bet your bottom dollar that you’re Sugarland bound.

Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me.
Oh let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin’ light on me.

Well, jumping Little Judy, she was a mighty fine girl.
She brought jumping to this whole round world.
Well, she brought it in the morning just a while before day.
Well, she brought me the news that my wife was dead.
That started me to grieving, whooping, hollering, and crying.
And I began to worry about my very long time.

Let the Midnight Special shine her light on me.
Oh let the Midnight Special shine her ever-lovin’ light on me.

He Liley, Liley ho –

I woke last night to hear a shout – he Liley, Liley ho
I looked around, found my woman was out.
The hardest thing in this world today –
to keep those rambling men away –

Chorus : He Liley. Liley ho – He Liley. Liley ho….Skiffle-Truppe – unter :

…
…”

– sorry, Woody, tut mir jetzt im Nach-hinein auch leid !

Halbstarke mit Entenschnitt und Fett in den Haaren –

aber : das Lied steht jetzt in dem neuen komplett mit allen Strophen ! kannze kucken ! war alles echt Ruhrpott – Texte auffe Scholle geboren und raus-gehauen. Wat?

Gab dann Senge zuhause, weil wa gestunken haben wie Iltis.
ach so, die versauten Strophen ? ok, also unter anderem:
oder : ” Die Qualle durch das Weltmeer segelt ….” oder : “Der Affe springt von Ast zu Ast…”

ja, wat reimt sich da alles drauf, …. hallo !
Da waren die “Lampenschalen”-Strophen mit oder “Teppich-Stange”
