tupelo

• nick cave and the bad seedsin the first born is dead albümünün açılış şarkısıdır. başlar başlamaz gaza getirtir, lakin sözler şöyledir:
  
  looka yonder! looka yonder!
  looka yonder! a big black cloud come!
  a big black cloud come!
  o comes to tupelo. comes to tupelo
  
  yonder on the horizon
  yonder on the horizon
  stopped at the mighty river
  stopped at the mighty river and
  sucked the damn thing dry
  tupelo-o-o, o tupelo
  in a valley hides a town called tupelo
  
  distant thunder rumble. distant thunder rumble
  rumble hungry like the beast
  the beast it cometh, cometh down
  the beast it cometh, cometh down
  wo wo wo-o-o
  tupelo bound. tupelo-o-o. yeah tupelo
  the beast it cometh, tupelo bound
  
  why the hen won't lay no egg
  can't get that cock to crow
  the nag is spooked and crazy
  o god help tupelo! o god help tupelo!
  o god help tupelo! o god help tupelo!
  
  ya can say these streets are rivers
  ya can call these rivers streets
  ya can tell ya self ya dreaming buddy
  but no sleep runs this deep
  no! no sleep runs this deep
  no sleep runs this deep
  women at their windows
  rain crashing on the pane
  writing in the frost
  tupelos' shame. tupelo's shame
  o god help tupelo! o god help tupelo!
  
  o go to sleep lil children
  the sandmans on his way
  o go to sleep lil children
  the sandmans in his way
  but the lil children know
  they listen to the beating of their blood
  listen to the beating of their blood
  listen to the beating of their blood
  listen to the beating of their blood
  they listen to the beating of their blood
  the sandman's mud!
  the sandman's mud!
  and the black rain come down
  the black rain come down
  the black rain come down
  water water everywhere
  where no bird can fly no fish can swim
  where no bird can fly no fish can swim
  no fish can swim
  until the king is born!
  until the king is born!
  in tupelo! tupelo-o-o!
  til the king is born in tupelo!
  
  in a clap-board shack with a roof of tin
  where the rain came down and leaked within
  a young mother frozen on a concrete floor
  with a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw
  tupelo-o-o! o tupelo!
  with a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw
  
  well saturday gives what sunday steals
  and a child is born on his brothers heels
  come sunday morn the first-born dead
  in a shoebox tied with a ribbon of red
  tupelo-o-o! hey tupelo!
  in a shoebox buried with a ribbon of red
  
  o ma-ma rock you lil' one slow
  o ma-ma rock your baby
  o ma-ma rock your lil' one slow
  o god help tupelo! o god help tupelo!
  mama rock your lil' one slow
  the lil one will walk on tupelo
  the lil one will walk on tupelo
  black rain come down, black rain come down
  tupelo-o-o! yeah tupelo!
  and carry the burden of tupelo
  tupelo-o-o! o tupelo! yeah!
  the king will walk on tupelo!
  tupelo-o-o! o tupelo!
  he carried the burden outa tupelo!
  tupelo-o-o! hey tupelo! [repeat]
  you will reap just what you sow

  did you read about the flood?
  it happened long time ago, in a little country town, way back in mississippi
  it rained and it rained, it rained both night and day
  the people got worried, they began to cry,
  "lord have mercy, where can we go now?"
  there were women and there was children, screaming and crying,
  "lord have mercy and a great disaster, who can we turn to now, but you?"
  the great flood of
  tupelo, mississippi
  it happened one evenin', one friday evenin', a long time ago,
  it rained and it started rainin'
  the people of tupelo, out on the farm gathering their harvest,
  a dark cloud rolled, way back in tupelo, mississippi, hmm, hmm)
  wasn't that a mighty time,
  wasn't that a mighty time?
  wasn't that a mighty time,
  a mighty time, that evenin'?
  it rained, both night and day
  the poor people that had no place to go, hmm,hmm
  a little town, called tupelo, mississippi
  i never forget it and i know you won't either

• büyük üstad john lee hooker'ın^* 1995 tarihli chill out albümünde yeralan müthiş blues eseri. gitarla o riff'i kendiniz çalıp usta'ya eşlik etmek istersiniz. hooker'ın sesi, gitarı ve ayaklarından gelen ritm dışında hiçbir enstrüman yoktur.
