| Tom T. Hall – Mama's Got the Catfish Blues Lyrics
| 1 year ago
|
The lyric in the chorus is “she treats me like I want her to treat.” A little easier to understand in Charlie Sizemore’s recording. Tom T. is on the cover of the album with Charlie, so I reckon he has it right. ;-)
As for meaning, I guess mama’s is tired of him fishing and drinking and not bringing home any fish… been my experience anyway. |

| Kris Kristofferson – Why Me Lyrics

I heard that after a playing a show, Kris was asked to stick around and play a Gospel show later that night. He realized that he didn't have a Gospel song and wrote this in his dressing room. Not really a "Gospel" song by definition, but certainly inspired and spiritual. And, yes, powerful. |

Great lesson, don't let the devil squash your dreams. Kris had become quite poor after a series of life events. A voice like his make it in the music business? The devil certainly didn't beat him. |
