Deep Fork River Blues

Tom Paxton

Transposer:

[Verse 1] Now the Deep Fork is a muddy river Near my home near my home. The Deep Fork is a muddy river Near my home near my home. [Verse 2] And the Deep Fork is in Oklahoma Near my home near my home The Deep Fork is in Oklahoma Near my home near my home [Verse 3] I can hear hounds baying on the river Near my home near my home And I’ll surely have a rabbit for my dinner Near my home near my home [Verse 4] When the sun goes down a man gets awful lonesome For his home for his home When the sun goes down a man gets awful lonesome For his home for his home [Verse 5] But I don’t have to stay away forever I can go home I can go home I don’t have to stay away forever I can go home I can go home [Verse 6] Now the Deep Fork is a muddy river Near my home near my home. The Deep Fork is a muddy river Near my home near my home.

La chanson évoque le sentiment de nostalgie et d'appartenance à son chez-soi, en décrivant la rivière Deep Fork, boueuse et familière, située en Oklahoma. L'auteur partage la quiétude de la nature environnante, accompagnée des bruits des chiens qui chassent, tout en évoquant les moments de solitude que l’on ressent lorsque la nuit tombe. Malgré cette mélancolie, il existe un espoir de retrouver un jour son foyer, soulignant la force des liens familiaux et de la terre natale. C'est une célébration simple mais poignante des racines et du désir de revenir à ses origines.
