Faisons une incursion dans la Country avec cette chanson de Delbert McClinton qui date de 1979, two more bottles of wine. Elle a été chantée par Emmylou Harris.
Mon chéri s’est tiré et m’a laissée là, mais tout va bien, car il est minuit et j’ai encore deux bouteilles de vin.
We came out west together with a common desire
The fever we had migtha set the West Coast on fire
Two months later got trouble in mind
Oh my baby moved out and left me behind
But it’s all right ’cause it’s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
The way he left sure turned my head around
Seemed like overnight it just up and put me down
Well I ain’t gonna let it bother me today
I’ve been workin’ and I’m too tired anyway
But it’s all right, midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
Well I’m sixteen hundred miles from the people I know
Have been doin’ all I can but opportunity sure come slow
Well I’d be in the sun all day
But I’m sweepin’ out a warehouse in West L.A.
But it’s all right ’cause it’s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
I’m sixteen hundred miles from the people I know
Been doin’ all I can but opportunity sure come slow
Lord, I’d be in the sun all day
But I’m sweepin’ out a warehouse in West L.A.
But it’s all right ’cause it’s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
Yes, it’s all right ’cause it’s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
Yes, it’s all right ’cause it’s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
Dans la même veine country, mais moins « rocky », voici une chanson de Merle Haggard qui date de 1966 (et fut chantée aussi par Emmylou Harris) : The bottle let me down
(Ce soir la bouteille m’a laissé tomber, et le souvenir du seul ami que je pensais avoir trouvé, est revenu)
Each night I leave the bar room when it’s over
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
I can’t drink enough to keep you off my mind
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I’d found
Tonight the bottle let me down
I’ve always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately I’ve been turnin’ everyday
But the wine don’t take effect the way it used to
And I’m hurtin’ in an old familiar way
Voici enfin le même Merle Haggard (et George Jones) et son Yesterday’s wine, chanson plutôt encourageante qui dit qu’avec le temps, nous prenons de l’âge comme le vin d’hier.
