...1947, Hank Williams graba "Mansion on the hill"



Hank Snow



Ray Price



Charley Pride



George Jones




Tonight down here in the valley
i'm lonesome and how i feel
as i sit here alone in my cabin
i can see your mansion on the hill
Do you recall when we parted
the story to me you revealed
you said you could live without loving
in your loveless mansion on the hill
I've waited all through the years love
to give you a heart true and real
cause i know you're living in sorrow
in your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shine bright from yer window
the trees stand so silent and still
i know you're alone with your pride dear
in your loveless mansion on the hill

(Hank Williams, Fred Rose)

Un saludo.

...1956, Patsy Cline graba "Walkin' after midnight"




I go out walkin'
after midnight
out in the moonlight
just like we used to do
i'm always walkin'
after midnight
searching for you
i walk for miles
along the highway
well that's just my way of saying i love you
i'm always walkin'
after midnight
searching for you
i stopped to see a weeping willow
cryin' on his pillow
maybe he's crying for me
and as the skies turn gloomy
night winds whisper to me
i'm lonesome as i can be
i go out walkin'
after midnight
out in the moonlight
just hoping you may be
somewhere walkin'
after midnight
searching for me
i stopped to see a weeping willow
crying on his pillow
maybe he's crying for me
and as the skies turn gloomy
night winds whisper to me
i'm lonesome as i can be
i'm out walkin'
after midnight
out in the moonlight
just hoping you may be
somewhere walkin'
after midnight
searching for me

(Alan Block, Don Hecht)

...1953, Hank Thompson graba "Wake up Irene" en Capitol




For months and months and months around the country
everybody sang Irene goodnight
but she wouldn't go to bed no matter what they said though everybody tried with
all their might
she stayed awake while steel guitars were a going
in every honky tonk she could be seen
but she finally went to bed and covered up her head and now there's not a thing
can wake Irene
Wake up Irene you've sleep to long wake up Irene it's time to move along
wake up Irene and pay for your bed wake up Irene or folks will think your dead
Lot's of guitar pickers by the dozen sang goodnight Irene all night and day
and even Crosby too with his bobobabobedo tried to get Irene to hit the way
well i guess they finally sang her off to slumber
they must have tried a million times or more
but oh my aching back when she finally hit the sack man you ought to hear that
women snore
wake up Irene you've sleep to long wake up Irene it's time to move along
wake up Irene and pay for your bed wake up Irene or folks will think your dead

(J. Hatchcock, Weldon Allard)

Es un tema del que no me suenan versiones, creo que hay una de los Maddox Brothers and Rose, pero no he localizado audio para colgar aquí.

Es curiosa esta canción pues es una respuesta humorística al éxito que el terreno Folk tuvieron the Weavers (entre otros y en otros campos) con el tema Goodnight Irene.
