Джордж Гершвин, Ella Fitzgerald - The Real American Folk Song (Original Mix)
Song lyrics
The old traditional Spanish tunes
The Neapolitan street song sighs
You think of Italian skies
Each nation has a creative vein
Originating a native strain
With folk songs plaintive and others gay
In their own peculiar way
American folk songs, I feel
Have a much stronger appeal
The real American folk song is a rag, a mental jag
A rhythmic tonic for the chronic blues
The critics called it a 'Joke Song'
But now they've changed their tune and they like it, somehow
For it's inoculated with a syncopated sort of meter
Sweeter than a classic strain, boy you can't remain still and quiet
For it's a riot
The real American folk song is like a fountain of youth
You taste and it elates you and then invigorates you
The real American folk song, the masses coaxed on, is a rag
The real American folk song is a rag, a mental jag
A rhythmic tonic for the chronic blues
The critics called it a 'Joke Song'
But now they've changed their tune and they like it, somehow
For it's inoculated with a syncopated sort of meter
Sweeter than a classic strain, boy you can't remain still and quiet
For it's a riot
The real American folk song is like a fountain of youth
You taste and it elates you and then invigorates you
The real American folk song is a rag
