Otis Taylor . Ten Million Slaves

El pasado fin de semana fuí al estreno de Enemigos Públicos, la peli de Michael Mann sobre Dillinger.
La peli como tal no es que esté mal, pero tampoco te epata ni te deja con la boca abierta. Lo que sí triunfa, y de manera espectacular, es la banda sonora. Y de entre todos los temas que allí aparecen uno es, simplemente, memorable: "Ten Million Slaves", de Otis Taylor, publicado en el CD "Recapturing the Banjo", publicado el pasado 2008.

Me estoy poniendo al día en cuanto a mis conocimientos sobre este artista (lo más triste de todo es que tenía por ahí perdidos dos albumes suyos que no recordaba haber escuchado...)



Y, a continuación, la letra:

Rain and fire crossed that ocean
Another mad man done struck again
Rain and fire crossed that ocean
Another mad man done struck again

Sitting down here fallout shelter
Paint my walls, twice a week
Sitting down here fallout shelter
Think about the slaves, long time ago

Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
They had shackles on Their Legs
Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
They had Shackles on Their Legs

Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been
Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been

Sun goes out, you'll be standing
You'll be standing by yourself
Sun goes out, you'll be standing
You'll be standing by yourself

Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
They Had Shackles on their legs
Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
They had shackles on their legs

Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been
Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been

Ten million slaves crossed that ocean
They had shackles on their legs
Food goes bad, food looks Rancid
But they ate it anyway

Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they’ve been
Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been

Sun goes out, you'll be standing
You'll be standing all alone
Sun goes out, you'll be standing
You'll be standing all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
