I come back swinging, swinging, with the heart of a lion
I come back swinging, swinging, with the heart of a lion
I come back swinging, swinging, with the heart of a lion, the heart of a lion, the heart of a lion

You try to break me down, i'm gonna bring you up
I never take others down, others build me up
Take this broken crown, reconstruct
All strugglin up for the ruck
So stop telling me that I am over
Don't stop telling me that I am down
Cus every time I come back stronger
Forward, crash, pow

I come back swinging, swinging, with the heart of a lion
I come back swinging, swinging, with the heart of a lion
I come back swinging, swinging, with the heart of a lion, the heart of a lion, the heart of a lion

What I do with all of this before
You be love the sound, in the floor
And I'm hated, or loved twice as more
Intention pure, misinform
Don't stop, cus fighting back is a gift
Don't stop, cus I got more to give
Don't stop, even when the bell is ringing
I come out I call

I come back swinging, swinging, with the heart of a lion
I come back swinging, swinging, with the heart of a lion
I come back swinging, swinging, with the heart of a lion, the heart of a lion, the heart of a lion

This to
This to show, one
Well this to show, one
I mean we been through
Much worse
And if I hold on
Ain't nothing I can't overcome
There ain't a rut I can't climb out from
No I am so far from done
I get up again
Dust myself down
Pick myself up
Up off of the ground

I come back swinging, swinging, with the heart of a lion
I come back swinging, swinging, with the heart of a lion
I come back swinging, swinging, with the heart of a lion, the heart of a lion, the heart of a lion.
BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN
ALBERT KING
SONGWRITERS: BOOKER T. JONES & WILLIAM BELL
COUNTRY: U. S. A.
ALBUM: BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN
LABEL: STAX
GENRE: BLUES
YEAR: 1967

Born Under a Bad Sign is the second compilation album by American blues musician Albert King, released in 1967 by Stax Records. It features eleven electric blues songs that were recorded from March 1966 to June 1967, throughout five different sessions. King played with two in-house bands: Booker T. & the M.G.'s and the Memphis Horns.
Although the album failed to reach any music chart, it did receive positive reviews and is now regarded by critics as one of the greatest blues albums ever made. The guitar play on Born Under a Bad Sign influenced many guitarists, including Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, Jimi Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Born Under a Bad Sign was inducted into both the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame and the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2012, it was ranked at number 491 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
Albert Nelson(April 25, 1923–December 21, 1992), known by his stage name Albert King, was an American blues guitarist and singer whose playing influenced many other blues guitarists. He is perhaps best known for the popular and influential álbum Born Under a Bad Sign(1967) and its title track. He is one of the three performers (together with B.B. King and Freddie King) known as the "Kings of the Blues." King was known for his "deep, dramatic sound that was widely imitated by both blues and rock guitarists."
He was once nicknamed "The Velvet Bulldozer" because of his smooth singing and large size–he stood taller than average, with sources reporting 6 ft 4in (1.93m) or 6ft 7in (2.01m), and weighed 250lb (110kg)–and also because he drove a bulldozer in one of his day jobs early in his career.
King was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1983. He was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. In 2011, he was ranked number 13 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.
Over the course of his career, King was nominated for two Grammy awards. In 1983, he was nominated for Best Traditional Blues album for San Francisco '83 and the next year he was also nominated for I'm In A Phone Booth, Baby.
In 1983, King was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.
King received a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame in 1993.
In 2011, King was honored with a marker on the Mississippi Blues Trail in his hometown Indianola.
King was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. At the induction ceremony, Gary Clark Jr. performed King's "Oh, Pretty Woman" and was then joined by John Mayer and Booker T. Jones to perform King's "Born Under a Bad Sign."
King was inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame in 2013. 
Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
You know I wouldn't have no luck at all

Hard luck and trouble been my only friends
I've been on my own ever since I was ten

Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
You know I wouldn't have no luck at all

I can't read
I didn't learn how to write
My whole life has been one big fight

Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
You know I wouldn't have no luck at all

You know if it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no kind of luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all

You know wine and women is all I crave
A big-legged woman gonna carry me to my grave

Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
You know I wouldn't have no luck at all.

BIG BILL BROONZY
SONGWRITER: LEROY CARR
COUNTRY: U. S. A.
ALBUM: BLACK, BROWN AND WHITE
LABEL: PARAMOUNT
GENRE: BLUES
YEAR: 1991

Big Bill Broonzy(born Lee Conley Bradley, June 26, 1903–August 14, 1958) was an American blues singer, songwriter and guitarist. His career began in the 1920s, when he played country blues to mostly African-American audiences. Through the 1930s and 1940s he successfully navigated a transition in style to a more urban blues sound popular with working-class African-American audiences. In the 1950s a return to his traditional folk-blues roots made him one of the leading figures of the emerging American folk music revival and an international star. His long and varied career marks him as one of the key figures in the development of blues music in the 20th century.
Broonzy copyrighted more than 300 songs during his lifetime, including both adaptations of traditional folk songs and original blues songs. As a blues composer, he was unique in writing songs that reflected his rural-to-urban experiences.[
Broonzy's influences included the folk music, spirituals, work songs, ragtime music, hokum, and country blues he heard growing up and the styles of his contemporaries, including Jimmie Rodgers, Blind Blake, Son House, and Blind Lemon Jefferson. Broonzy combined all these influences into his own style of the blues, which foreshadowed the postwar Chicago blues, later refined and popularized by artists such as Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon.
Although he had been a pioneer of the Chicago blues style and had employed electric instruments as early as 1942, white audiences in the 1950s wanted to hear him playing his earlier songs accompanied only by his own acoustic guitar, which they considered to be more authentic.
He portrayed the discrimination against black Americans in his song "Black, Brown and White". The song has been used globally in education about racism, but in the late 1990s its inclusion in antiracism education at a school in Greater Manchester, England, led pupils to taunt the school's only black pupil with the song's chorus, "If you're white, that's all right, if you're brown, stick around, but if you're black, oh brother get back, get back, get back". The national media reported that the problem became so bad that the nine-year-old boy was withdrawn from the school by his mother. The song had already been adopted by the National Front, a far-right British political party which peaked in popularity in the 1970s and opposed nonwhite immigration to Britain.
A considerable part of Broonzy's early ARC/CBS recordings has been reissued in anthologies by CBS-Sony, and other earlier recordings have been collected on blues reissue labels, as have his European and Chicago recordings of the 1950s. The Smithsonian's Folkways Records has also released several albums featuring Broonzy.
In 1980, he was inducted into the first class of the Blues Hall of Fame, along with 20 other of the world's greatest blues legends. In 2007, he was inducted into the first class of the Gennett Records Walk of Fame, along with 11 other musical greats, including Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Gene Autry, and Lawrence Welk.
Broonzy as an acoustic guitar player inspired Muddy Waters, Memphis Slim, Ray Davies, John Renbourn, Rory Gallagher, Ben Taylor, and Steve Howe.
In the September 2007 issue of Q Magazine, Ronnie Wood, of the Rolling Stones, cited Broonzy's track "Guitar Shuffle" as his favorite guitar music. Wood remarked, "It was one of the first tracks I learnt to play, but even to this day I can't play it exactly right."
Eric Clapton has cited Broonzy as a major inspiration, commenting that Broonzy "became like a role model for me, in terms of how to play the acoustic guitar." Clapton featured Broonzy's song "Hey Hey" on his album Unplugged. The Derek and the Dominos album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs includes their recording of "Key to the Highway".
Another musician heavily influenced by Broonzy was Jerry Garcia, who upon hearing a recording of Broonzy's blues playing decided to exchange an accordion he received on his 15th birthday for an electric guitar. Garcia would later co-found The Grateful Dead, who frequently performed a number of songs which Broonzy had recorded decades earlier, including "C.C. Rider" and "Goin' Down the Road Feelin' Bad".
In the benediction at the 2009 inauguration ceremony of President Barack Obama, the civil rights leader Rev. Dr. Joseph Lowery paraphrased Broonzy's song "Black, Brown and White Blues".
As part of the PopUp Archive project, in collaboration with the WFMT network, the Chicago History Museum, and the Library of Congress, an hour-long interview of Broonzy, recorded on September 13, 1955, by Studs Terkel was made available on-line. The interview includes reflections on his life and on the blues tradition, a performance of one of his most famous songs, "Alberta," and performances of "Goin' Down the Road Feelin' Bad" and other classics. 
In the evening
In the evening
Mama when the sun go down
In the evening darling
I declare when the sun go down
Yeah it's so lonesome it's so lonesome
I declare when the one you love is not around
When the sun go down

Last night I were layin' sleepin'
And I declare I was sleepin' all by myself
Last night I were layin' sleepin' darling
And I declare I was sleepin' all by myself
Yeah but the one, the one that I was really in love with
I declare she was sleepin' someplace else
When the sun go down

Yeah, ooh ooh ooh wee
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh wee
Yes the one that I was in love with
I declare she was sleepin' someplace else
When the sun go down

The sun rises in the East
And I declare it sets way over in the West
Sun rises in the East darling
And I declare it sets way over in the West
Yes it's so hard, it's so hard to tell
I declare which one that'll treat you the best
When the sun go down

Now goodbye, old sweethearts and pals
Yes I declare I'm goin' away
I may be back to see you again
Little girl some old rainy day
Yes in the evening in the evening
I declare when the sun go down
When the sun go down.

Lloran las rosas
El rocío ya se ha convertido en lágrimas
Te me has ido
Te he perdido
Lloran las rosas

Llora mi alma
Va gimiendo con las alas
Recortadas
Te me has ido
Te he perdido
Llora mi alma

Lágrimas
Que ahogan mi corazón
Lágrimas
Palabras del alma
Lágrimas
Mi mudo lenguaje de amor

Lloran las rosas
Porque no puedo estar sin ti
Y lloran celosas
De que no quieras ya venir
Y entre otras cosas
Yo lloro por ti

Falta el perfume
De tu piel por donde anduve
La silueta que veía
Cuando tú dormías

Lágrimas, que ahogan mi corazón
Lágrimas, palabras del alma
Lágrimas, mi mudo lenguaje de amor
Oh, oh, oh (lloran las rosas, lloran)

Porque no puedo estar sin ti (lloran las rosas, lloran)
Aunque no quieras ya venir (lloran las rosas, lloran)
Oooohh lloro por ti (lloran las rosas, lloran)
Lloro por ti, lloro por ti, oooh lloro por ti (lloran las rosas, lloran)
Oh, oh, oh (lloran las rosas, lloran)
Ohh lloro por ti, oh lloro por ti, oh lloro.
