La de Red Foley es la única que tiene letra

"One foot, two foot, slew foot drag
Swing your honey to the sugar foot rag
Dig a little jig then a zig and a zag
Listen the fiddle play the sugar foot rag...".

...1959, Freddie Hart graba "The keys in the mailbox"



Conway Twitty



Connie Smith



Buck Owens



Tony Booth ¿hacen falta más músicos e instrumentos que estos?



Jean Shepard



Tim Hall, me encanta este video



Johnson Mountain Boys




Oh jealous me and careless you the odds were just too great
i couldn't take those lonely nights you made me sit and wait
i thought i'd seen the last of you when you walked out of sight
instead i see you in my dreams each night
On the key's in the milbox come on in
i'm sittin' here wishing dear i had your love again
i'd never even ask you where you've been
the key's in the mailbox come on in
I said i'd rather be alone than share your company
i said don't come around at all if you want more than me
but sittin' here alone i can't deny this flame that burns
i'd gladly take you back on any terms
On the key's in the mailbox...

(Harlan Howard)

Pensaba que como era básicamente instrumental no tenía letra y por eso no la busqué, gracias.

La de los Maddox Brothers no la conozco. Sobre la respuesta a la canción "Goodnight Irene" lo había leído hace mucho tiempo, lo que pasa es que no estaba seguro y no lo puse para no meter la pata.

...1951, Ernest Tubb graba "Driftwood on the river"



Rex Allen



Don Gibson




I'm just driftwood on the river floating down the tide
i don't care where this old river carries me
i'll keep drifting just because my heart is broken inside
and i'm tired of wishing for what cannot be
I may meet some little driftwood lost as same as i
share a handshake and a tender tear or two
but it's always good luck how we've got to say goodbye
i must wander on to keep my rendezvous
Though i drift through town and city i can never stay
for i find no place to call my home sweet home
i don't ask for help or pity, i'll just go my way
all i'm praying for is peace to dream alone
I'm just driftwood on the river and i'm drifting on
till this weary river meets the deep blue sea
where the deep blue sea may help me to forget someone
yes, the careless one who has fogotten me
In my heart i don't feel bitter over what has been
i feel sorry for the one i must forget
and instead of being someone with the world to win
i'm just driftwood on the river of regret

(Bob Miller, John Klenner)

...1968, Faron young graba "Wine me up"



Tanya Tucker



Larry Boone




I'm the center of attention in this barroom
cause i've got the biggest heartache of the year
and each night those swingin' doors reach out to me and draw me in
cause they know each night that i'll be back to wine me up again
Wine me up turn me on and watch me cry for you
lately drinkin' warm red wine is all i want to do
and i'd never know how tight i'll wine me up till i walk in
but i don't care cause i'll be back to wine me up again
I'd like to thank the men that raise the grapes way out in California
and i'm hopin' this will be their biggest year
cause scarlet waters all that's left to keep me hangin' on
and that's why i'll try to wine me up each day and night next year
Wine me up turn me on and watch me cry for you
lately drinkin' warm red wine is all i want to do
and i'd never know how tight i'll wine me up till i walk in
but i don't care cause i'll be back to wine me up again

(Faron Young, Billy Deaton)
