5. Cotton Fields

 

갓난 아기적 나를
엄마는 요람에서 흔들어 달래주곤 했었지요
목화밭 투성이 ... 거기가 내 고향이지요

 

루이지애나 아래 텍사카나로부터
1마일 떨어진곳
거기가 내 고향 목화밭이지요

 

목화 열매가 썩어갈때
많은 목화를 딸 수 없었어요
그래도 거기가 내 고향이지요

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle,
In them old cotton fields back home;
 
It was down in Louisiana,
Just about a mile from Texarkana,
In them old cotton fields back home.
 
Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton,
In them old cotton fields back home.

크리던스 클리어워터 리바이벌(Creedence Clearwater Revival, 줄여서 C.C.R.)은 미국 출신의 록 밴드이다. 이들은 캘리포니아주 해안 지방 출신이지만, 스웜프 블루스의 영향을 많이 받은 음악을 연주했다. 1967년 《Creedence  Clearwater Revival》이라는 앨범이 미국에서 골드 앨범을 기록하는 등 큰 성공을 거두었으나, 1971년 존 포거티가 밴드를 떠난 후 1972년 마지막 앨범을 발표하고, 같은 해 10월 16일 해체되었다. John의 형, 리드키타 Tom Fogerty가 사망을 했기에 다시 결합할 수도 없었다.

 

Thomas Richard Fogerty (November 9, 1941 – September 6, 1990) was an American musician, best known as the rhythm guitarist for Creedence Clearwater Revival. He was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993
