lirik lagu ode to henry – sonntag
henry thomas, few would know his name
but to me he was a king
he would wander through the great hot southern plains
playing quills and singing in the breeze
he was a blind and black man
his eyes they did not see
so i will keep my eyelids closed
when i sing the ode to henry
ragtime texas, texas worried blues
all the towns and songs he knew
on the front porch, railroad jamboree
at the world’s fair howlin’ in the street
then about the age of 53
henry thomas struck a deal
sat him down to cut a batch of tracks
for a bed or likely for a meal
what became of texas worried blues is american mystery
i still ponder the forgotten man
i still ponder sweat upon the sleeve
all i’m hoping, for the time it be
that i’ll catch him in my sleep
chasin’ rainbows through missouri pine
snappin’ cane reeds for sweet melody
and on and on plays mr. henry . .
