YouTube Ray Charles lyrics - Hit the Road Jack (1961 y 1996)

Tweet

"Hit the Road, Jack" (Toma tu camino Jack) el tema escrito por el artista de R&B, Percy Mayfield e interpretado por el genial pianista invidente Ray Charles fue considerado por la revista Rolling Stone como el Nº 377 de su «lista de las 500 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos».

Y con razón. El tema siempre fue exitoso. Hasta parecía sonar mejor en un episodio de Saturday Night Live en 1996, que en 1961 cuando la polémica vida privada del cantante estaba en boca de todos y el hit llegó al primer lugar de la lista de ventas.  



La canción es un contrapunto entre Ray Charles y sus Raylettes, el coro femenino liderado por Marjorie Hendricks, que era su amante como se ve en la película Ray. Ella se encarga de rechazar con una contundente “No more, no more, no more” las súplicas del pianista agregando que, como ya no tiene dinero, ahora no le sirve para nada.

Letra de la canción (Lyrics)

(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)
What you say?
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)

Woah Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean,
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen.
I guess if you said so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)
What you say?
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)

Now baby, listen baby, don't ya treat me this-a way
Cause I'll be back on my feet some day.
(Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood)
(you ain't got no money you just ain't no good.)
Well, I guess if you say so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)
What you say?
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)

Well
(don't you come back no more.)
Uh, what you say?
(don't you come back no more.)
I didn't understand you
(don't you come back no more.)
You can't mean that
(don't you come back no more.)
Oh, now baby, please
(don't you come back no more.)
What you tryin' to do to me?
(don't you come back no more.)
Oh, don't treat me like that
(don't you come back no more.)
