QUARTA ROCKSTEADY: What a Good Woodman (Lee “Scratch” Perry)
por O Rei Zula 7 abrSintam o drama do Sr Perry:
What a Good Woodman
Better listen people
I’ve got a story to tell
There are 3 michievious people i don’t trust well
One is the milk man
One is the yam man*
But those of all I don’t trust the woodman at all
When I told my wife
“Stop deal with dem”
Ear carefully
what she told me, my friend:
She said “the milk man and the yah man, I can berid them!
But I will meet the woodman at the gate and take the wood pon him”
*tema*
I was so mad, In fact this could be sad
I said “I want to know what this is all about”
She said “you don’t understand,
who feels it knows it
It not so easy to forget such a good good woodman”
It is my jealousy
Or my curiosity!
But I make her swear
Never to see them again
Then I saw her cry
I say “what is the matter, dear?”
she said “I’m trying to forget such a good good woodman!”
*como eu mesmo transcrevi o que rola na musica, faço a menor idéia do que pode ser um “Yam man”. Botei aí o que ouvi. De qualquer forma o que gerou polêmica foi o “man” mesmo :)
