Eric Burdon - Tobacco Road

La versión de Eric Burdon & War:



Y la canción original de John Loudermilk:


En mi opinión, la interpretación de Eric Burdon es muy superior a la original.

Una versión intermedia es la de The Nashville Teens:



TOBACCO ROAD (LYRICS):

I was born in a trunk
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die alone
In the middle of Tobacco Road

Growin' up rusty shack
All I had was hangin' on my back
Only you know how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road

But it's home, the only life I ever known
Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road

Gonna leave, get a job
With the help and the grace from above
Save some money, get rich and old
Bring it back to Tobacco Road

But it's home, the only life I ever known
Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road

Bring that dynamite and a crane
Blow it up, start all over again
Build a town, be proud to show
Gives the name Tobacco Road
