lyrics

(Hanby) There's a low green valley on the old Kentucky shore Where I whiled many happy hours away A sitting and a singing by the little cottage door Where lived my darling Nellie Gray Oh my poor Nellie Gray, they have take you away And I'll never see my darling anymore I am sitting by the river and I'm weeping all the day For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore One night I went to see her, "..but she's gone..", the neighbor say "...the white man bound her with his chain!" "They have take her to Georgia for to wear her life away as she toils in the cotten and the cane!" Oh my poor Nellie Gray, up in Heaven there they say That they'll never take you from me anymore I am coming, I am coming, as the angels clear the way Fare you well from the old Kentucky shore.

about

This album tries to establish what makes any country Great.

Some would say that technological progress makes a country great, yet it contains the seed of laziness, so it cannot be great.

Others may say a-lot-of-cash is a sign of greatness, but they make a mish-mash of what is means, and what is ends...

One can see a country's greatness, in how it treats its less fortunate.

Anything else as a measure for greatness is just self-rightousness, which isn't great.

Bessie Smith, Vernon Dalhart, Fats Waller, Nellie Lutcher and their likes made America Great!
