"sou mais branco de nome que de pele", teria dito um dia charles douglas musselwhite. 
e, para um branco nascido no mississippi que se tornou uma das lendas da harmónica azul,
muito provavelmente a frase de charlie é mais certa do que parece...

the blues overtook me when i was a little child

you know fast women and whisky made this southern boy wild

when i was a kid, early on my own

i took the highway to be on my own

the blues overtook me when i was a little child

you know fast women and whisky made this lonesome boy wild

it's dark and cloudy i believe it's gonna rain

makes me wanna hear my baby call my name

the blues overtook me when i was a little child

you know fast women and whisky made this poor boy wild

when you get in trouble everything is down on you

the blues is overtaking you and pull you through

well the blues overtook me when i was a little child

you know fast women and whisky made this lonesome boy wild

laying down my suitcase, hang up my trunk

i ain't be drinkin' since the blues made me drunk

the blues overtook me when i was a little child

you know fast women and whisky made this poor boy wild

you might run and tryin' to escape

but the blues will overtake you one over a rainy day

the blues overtook me when i was a little child

you know fast women and whisky made this southern boy wild
