Eddie Cochran

'Summertime Blues'

Verano del 58'

.

Eddie, guitarra rítmica, interpreta un tema que poco o nada tiene que ver con el Blues, pero, ¿a quién le importa? Escrito desde una perpspectiva adolescente, reivindicó a los adultos el derecho de los jóvenes a divertirse . Cochran llegó a decir: 'He llamado a mi congresista y me ha contestado: Me gustaría ayudarle, hijo, pero eres demasiado joven para votar'.

I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler

About a workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar

Every time I call my baby, and try to get a date

My boss says, "No dice son, you gotta work late"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

.

Well my mom and pop told me, "Son you gotta make some money,

If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday"

Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick

"Well you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

.

I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation

I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations

Well I called my congressman and he said Quote:

"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.
