Me And Willie

Emmylou Harris

Transposer:

[Intro] C x 4 [Verse 1] Me and Willie played in a country band Seven long years together playing those one night stands Used to say the booze and bars is going to wear him out Hold On a song he wrote tear your heart right out [Verse 2] We traveled the northern route and from the Greate Lakes to Monreal Hitting all the honkytonks I bet we played them all Willie played to ease his soul and drank to ease his mind I never understood how he played it so good while drinking himseld half blind. And you.. [Chorus] Wouldn’t think a Man so weak ... could be so strong.... Take a crowd of rowdy drunks and hush them with a song And I’d rather be singing my heart out in a dark and din|gy bar Hitting those high notes with Willie’s sad guitar. And I’d rather be singing a blues song singing sweet and high Willie standing right by my side playing country slide [Solo] | | [Verse 3] Me and Willie watched a lot of dreams die young. Plans we made how quick they fade fumbling one by one. Willie never let it bother him and if he did it didn’t show. You know he had a way of letting go am king the blue times old. And you ... [Chorus] Wouldn’t think a Man so weak ... could be so strong.... Take a crowd of rowdy drunks and hush them with a song And I’d rather be singing my heart out in a dark and din|gy bar Hitting those high notes with Willie’s sad guitar. And I’d rather be singing a blues song singing sweet and high Willie standing right by my side playing country slide [Verse 4] I left Willie in a bar in Marietta Couldn’t stand to watch the man I love drink himself to death. Now I’m working in Ottawa and I’m doing well I guess. You know the good life don’t look so good from behind a desk And I’d rather be singing my heart out in a dark and din|gy bar Hitting those high notes with Willie’s sad guitar. And I’d rather be singing a blues song singing sweet and high Willie standing right by my side playing country slide

La chanson retrace les souvenirs d'une musicienne qui se remémore ses années de tournée avec un ami chanteur, Willie. Ensemble, ils ont joué dans de nombreux bars, où la musique était leur échappatoire face aux défis de la vie. Malgré les difficultés et les rêves souvent brisés, Willie parvenait à s’élever au-dessus de la douleur avec sa musique, captivant les foules même lorsqu'il luttait contre ses propres démons. Le récit évoque également le moment où elle a dû se séparer de lui, ne pouvant plus supporter de le voir sombrer dans l'alcool. Sa vie actuelle, bien que stable, ne semble pas à la hauteur des émotions qu'elle ressentait en jouant sur scène, laissant un fort désir de retrouver cette authenticité et cette passion qu’elle avait dans les bars.
