Ventania

origem

(versão de Danny Farrant e Paul Rawson, na banda sonora da série American Gods)

A letra deste clássico do American folk tem sofrido variações menores pelos vários intérpretes; os Nirvana, tal como estes senhores, cantavam "my girl", o suposto autor original, Leadbelly, cantava "black girl".

 

Black girl, Black 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

Black girl, Black 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

Black girl, Black 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

Black girl, Black 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

Black girl, Black 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

Black girl, Black 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
