Nirvana - Where did you sleep last night? (Cover)

Tira alusiva cortesía de Jorge Cavazos en Caballo Negro




My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

No le quito crédito a Lead Belly en cuanto a la interpretación original con ese aire del cajun tan encantador, pero debo ser honesto y aceptar que no es mi estilo y que de no ser por Cobain (y Caballo Negro) no tendría ni puta idea de que existía una canción tan viejita que cuenta una historia lo suficientemente ambigua y cruda para que generaciones distintas la discutan e imaginen en sus cabezas todo lo demás que la letra omite.
Y también debo ser sincero y aceptar que el greñudo ese le da punch con esa voz desafinada y sus gritos viscerales.
