Kelly Brianne Clarkson (Fort Worth, 24 de abril de 1982) é uma cantora e compositora, ocasionalmente atriz, de origem norte-americana. Atingiu a fama em 2002, após vencer a primeira temporada do reality show American Idol. Seu single de estreia, "A Moment Like This", alcançou a primeira posição da Billboard Hot 100 nos Estados Unidos e na época quebrou o recorde de maior salto para o topo do gráfico musical, além de ter sido o mais vendido do ano naquele país. No ano seguinte, ela tornou-se a vice-campeã do World Idol. Ao longo da carreira, foi nomeada em dez categorias ao Grammy Awards, vencendo três delas.

"Please Come Home for Christmas" is a Christmas song, released in 1960, by the American blues singer and pianist Charles Brown. Hitting Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in December 1961, the tune Brown co-wrote with Gene Redd peaked at position #76. It appeared on the Christmas Singles chart for nine seasons, hitting #1 in 1972. It includes a number of characteristics of Christmas music, such as multiple references in the lyrics to the Christmas season and Christmas traditions, and the use of a Church bell type sound, created using a piano, at the start of the song. It is sometimes referred to as "Bells Will Be Ringing", which are the first four words of the song.

Bells will be ringing

The glad, glad news

Oh, what a christmas

To have the blues

My baby's gone

I have no friends

To wish me greetings

Once again

Choirs will be singing

"silent night"

Christmas carols

By candlelight

Please come home for christmas

Baby please come home for christmas

If not for christmas

By new year's night

Friends and relations

Send salutations

Sure as the stars shine above

It's christmas yea

It's christmas

The time of year

To be, with the one you love

Then won't you tell me

You'll never more roam

Christmas and new year's

Will find you home

There'll be no more sorrow

No grief no pain

Then I'll be happy, happy

Once again

There'll be no more sorrow

No grief and pain

Then I'll be happy

Christmas

Once again

Somebody said you got a new friend

But does she love you better than I can?

And There's a big black sky over my town

I know where you're at, I bet she's around

And Yeah I know it's stupid

But I just got to see it for myself

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her

(Oh, oh, oh)

And I'm right over here, why can't you see me

(Oh, oh, oh)

And I'm givin' it my all

but I'm not the guy you're takin' home

(Uuh, uuh, uuh)

And I keep dancin' on my own

I'm just gonna dance all night

I'm all messed up, I'm so outta line

Stilettos and broken bottles

I'm spinning around in circles

And I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her

(Oh, oh, oh)

And I'm right over here, why can't you see me

(Oh, oh, oh)

And I'm givin' it my all

but I'm not the guy you're takin' home

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

And I keep dancin' on my own

So far away, but still so near

The lights go on, the music dies

But you don't see me, standing here

I just came to say goodbye

I'm in the corner watching you kiss her

(Ooooooh)

And I'm givin' it my all

But I'm not the guy you're takin' home

(Uuh, uuuh)

And I keep dancin' on my own

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her

(Oh, nooo)

And I'm right over here, why can't you see me

(Oh, nooo)

And I'm givin' it my all

But I'm not the guy you're takin' home

(Uuuuuh)

And I keep dancin' on my own

So far away, but still so near

The lights go on, the music dies

But you don't see me, standing here.

GENRE: BLUES

YEAR: 1966

Nehemiah Curtis "Skip" James (June 9, 1902 – October 3, 1969) was an American Delta blues singer, guitarist, pianist and songwriter.

His guitar playing is noted for its dark, minor-key sound, played in an open D-minor tuning with an intricate fingerpicking technique. James first recorded for Paramount Records in 1931, but these recordings sold poorly, having been released during the Great Depression, and he drifted into obscurity. After a long absence from the public eye, James was "rediscovered" in 1964 by three blues enthusiasts, helping further the blues and folk music revival of the 1950s and early 1960s. During this period, James appeared at folk and blues festivals, gave concerts around the country and recorded several albums for various record labels.

His songs have influenced generations of musicians, having been adapted or covered by Kansas Joe McCoy, Robert Johnson, Alan Wilson, Cream, Deep Purple, Chris Thomas King, Alvin Youngblood Hart, the Derek Trucks Band, Beck, Big Sugar, Eric Clapton, John Martyn, Lucinda Williams and Rory Block. He has been hailed as "one of the seminal figures of the blues.

Today! is the third studio album by Delta blues musician Skip James, released in 1966.

Crow Janie, Crow Janie, Crow Jane, don't you hold your head high,

Someday, Baby, you know you got to die.

You got to lay down, and. . ., you got to die, you got to. . .

And I want to buy me a pistol, "wolf me forty rounds of ball",

Shoot Crow Jane just to see her fall.

She got to fall, she got to. . ., she got to fall, she got to. . .,

REFRÃO

"You know I begged Crow Jane, not to hold her head too high,

Someday, Baby, you know you got to die.

You got to lay down, and. . ., you got to die, you got to. . ."

And I dug her a grave, with a silver spade,

Ain't nobody going to take my Crow Jane's place.

no you can't take her, . . . no you can't take her. . .

REFRÃO

You know I let her down, with a golden chain,

And every link I would call my Crow Jane's name.

Crow Jane, . . .Crow, . . . Crow Jane, . . .Crow

You know I never missin' my water, til my well ran dry,

Didn't miss Crow jane until the day she died.

til the day,she, . . . til the day, she, . . .

REFRÃO

You know I dug her grave, eight feet in the ground,

Didn't feel sorry til they let her down.

they had, . . . to let her down, they had, . . . to let her down,
