about

Leavin’ Blues

Est voyageur malgré lui celui qui se fait mettre dehors par sa bien-aimée. Comme dans Un Jour de lessive du poète Gaston Couté, il faut alors retourner chez Maman pour panser ses peines et ses plaies. Encore faudra t-il affronter le regard de Papa.
Leadbelly perpétue avec cette chanson la force et la richesse de la poésie populaire noire américaine et son bestiaire symbolique.

lyrics

Yes I’m leaving in the morning, Mama,
But I don’t know where to go.
Cause the woman I’ve been living for twenty years, Mama,
Says she don’t want me no more.

Rather see my coffin coming,
Lordy, Lord through my back door.
Than to have that good looking woman telling to my face, Mama,
That she couldn’t use me no more.

I got grasshoppers in my pillow, Baby,
I got crickets all in my meal.
I got tacks in my shoes, Mama,
And they are sticking in my heel.

Papa may be crazy this time,
Papa ain’t nobody’s fool!
Before I stand that doggone way you’re carrying on, Mama,
Go to bucking like a Georgia mule.
