Текст песни Coot Marseilles Blues - Tom T. Hall
(This
story
was
told
to
me
by
Jerry
Clover
at
the
1971
discjockey
convention
I
told
Jerry
I's
gonna
write
a
song
about
it
My
brother
Hillman
gonna
play
the
cigarette
paper
and
the
comb
play)
(Paper
& comb)
Coot
Marseilles
was
an
old
black
man
from
down
Mississippi
way
He
worked
out
in
the
white
man's
yard
and
he
loved
to
sing
and
play
Ol'
Coot
worked
hard
God
rest
his
soul
he
never
was
much
to
roam
His
entire
band
was
an
old
guitar
a
cigarette
paper
and
a
comb
(Paper
& comb)
Now
ol'
Coot
had
one
song
that
he
would
sing
when
his
long
days
were
put
in
There
ain't
nobody
knows
that
song
now
cause
I
reckon
that
it
died
with
him
His
songs
were
made
up
'o
dry
bones
from
pain
and
sweat
and
tears
And
Lordy
Lordy
Lordy
Lordy
was
sometimes
all
you'd
hear
Now
on
Saturdays
ol'
Coot
didn't
work
much
'cepten
he
built
a
fire
in
the
stove
And
when
he
get
through
he'd
mosey
on
down
and
sit
by
the
gravel
road
He'd
hum
that
song
as
he
walked
along
with
the
faraway
look
in
his
eyes
And
he
sat
there
by
the
road
all
day
watched
them
fine
Ford
cars
go
by
Now
on
Saturday
night
the
white
folks
danced
and
ol'
Coot
he'd
pick
and
sing
He
had
an
old
RC
bottle
neck
that
he'd
slide
up
and
down
them
strings
Now
Coot
didn't
care
much
for
lyrics
he
just
made
'em
up
as
he
went
along
And
Lord
I
wish
they
had
tape
back
then
cause
I'd
sure
love
to
hear
them
songs
Well
his
clothes
were
old
and
his
hair
was
gray
and
hard
work
had
bent
his
back
His
songs
were
never
recognized
by
statuettes
or
flags
His
songs
were
all
about
the
working
man
and
Coot
never
owned
a
tie
The
only
thing
he
ever
really
had
to
do
was
die
(Paper
& comb)
Now
ol'
Coot's
gone
and
maybe
I'm
wrong
to
bring
it
all
back
again
But
I
know
his
friends
down
in
Mississippi
sure
thought
a
lot
of
him
So
rock
on
Coot
and
enjoy
your
rest
your
long
day's
work
is
done
And
if
they
got
Fords
up
in
Heaven
sir
I
sure
hope
you're
driving
one
(Paper
& comb)
Lordy
Lordy
Lordy
Lordy
Lord
