Woman please be gone
You've stayed here much too long
Don't you wish that you could cry
Don't you wish I would die
Seamy, seesaw kids
Childwoman on the skids
The dust will choke you blind
The lust will choke your mind
I kiss the floor, one kick no more
The pig and hose have set me free
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
I kiss the floor, one kick no more
The pig and hose have set me free
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
The inner city birthed me
The local pusher nursed me
Cousins make it on the street
They marry every trick they meet
A dime, a dollar they're all the same
When a man comes in to bust your game
The turn key comes, his face a grin
Locks the cell I'm in again
I kiss the floor, one kick no more
The pig and hose have set me free
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree...

Great song and great album this is from. Thank you. I've never heard a Rodriguez cover.
Ah thank you for stopping by to listen! I definitely need to hear the rest of the album :)
A great cover, by a fantastic artist! You have a wonderful voice.
Everyone should research Sixto's strange, but great story. One spoiler; he thought his short-lived career in the music business was over, but little did he know that he was bigger than Elvis in South Africa, and had a great following in Australia, and elsewhere. They had all, mistakenly, thought he had committed suicide, too. (Okay, two spoilers). It's also worth hunting down the documentary about him, entitled - "Searching for Sugar Man."
Thanks for your post!
@rip-youtube, that's awesome!!! Thank you for your contribution on my post, I literally love random facts like this. Yeah he's an incredibly talented artist, I love those facts about him, it makes him even more interesting!!
You're welcome.
P.S. Here's another great Sixto Rodriguez cover, and why some call him, "Sugar Man." (Skip to about :44)
Just beautiful.... you are doing great work :). Go on!
Ah thank you ever so much!!
Yep, another good one. Back home, but camera in a different position. Guess you like the changes sometimes :)
Yes I came back after Christmas :) I do like to switch it up a bit!! Haha it's a bit boring when it's always the same as it has been!
Yep :)
I like it.
👍
