Annotationen

Captain Bobby Stout wurde geschrieben von Lane Tietgen, genau wie Martha's Madman. Diese beiden Songs befinden sich auf dem herausragenden Album The Jerry Hahn Brotherhood, das einen mächtigen Eindruck bei Manfred Mann hinterlassen haben muss, denn dieser hat die beiden erwähnten Titel mit der Earth Band gecovert. Zuweilen lohnt es sich sehr, den Vorlieben von Musikern nachzugehen.
Captain Bobby Stout ist ein psychedelischer Blues, erdig, heavy und dreckig. Er handelt davon, dass ein Mann beim Dealen von mexikanischem Gras gefasst wird und nun einer Gefängnisstrafe entgegen sieht. Am Anfang ist der Track ein Worksong, entwickelt sich aber zügig zu einem wilden tanzbaren Biest.

Lyrics

Brother why are you here? Brother why are you here? Captain Bobby Stout done found me out And I owe that man one more year Yes I owe the man another year First came down to Wichita Town Pocket full of Mexican smoke I sold it to a man I did not know 'Cause I was hungry and I was broke Brother why are you here? Brother why are you here? Captain Bobby Stout done found me out Now I owe that man one more year Yes I owe the man one more year My mother she stays in Chicago My poppa stays down in the ground My baby did go to San Francisco When the judge laid his gavel down Brother why are you here? Brother why are you here? Captain Bobby Stout done found me out Now I owe that man one more year Yes I owe the man one more year My partner came down to Wichita Town Tried to set me free Captain Bobby Stout done found him out Now my partner stays here with me Brother why are you here? Brother why are you here? Captain Bobby Stout done found me out Now I owe that man one more year Yes I owe the man one more year Brother why are you here? Brother why are you here? Captain Bobby Stout done found me out Now I owe that man one more year Yes I owe the man one more year
