Alguém aí já ouviu falar de um conjunto caipira americano chamado The Mosam Skiffle Train? Eu estava procurando a letra de uma música (There’s no more corn on the Brazos) pra mãe do Pelezinho e acabei achando esses caras. Não tinha a letra que eu queria, mas dei de cara com uma música chamada 10.000 years ago, que é igual a Eu nasci há dez mil anos atrás, do Raul Seixas. Alguém sabe mais detalhes dessa história? Olha a letra:
10.000 years ago
(Traditional)
I was born ten thousand years ago
And there is nothing in this world that I don’t know
I saw Peter, Paul and Moses
Playing ‘Ring around the roses’
And I’ll whip the guy who says it isn’t so
I saw Satan when he looked the garden over
I saw Eve and Adam driven from the door
And behind the bush a-peeping, saw the apple they were eating
And I swear I was the guy who eat the core
I saw Samson when he laid the village cold
I saw Daniel tame the lions in their hold
I help build the tower of Babel, as high as they were able
And there’s many other things I haven’t told
The queen of Sheba fell in love with me
We were married in Milwaukee secretly
In Washington I shook her and went off with General Hooker
To fight them skeeters down in Tennessee
I remember when this country had a king
Saw Cleopatra pawn her wedding ring
And I saw the flags a-flying when George Washington stopped lying
On the night when Paddy first began to sing
I saw Nero fiddling when he burned up Rome
Told him it looked like his future home
When he had the nerve to holler I grabbed him by his collar
And cracked a whiskey bottle on his dome
