Re: [Harp-L] Another man done gone

[Zombor Kovacs <zrkovacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

Thanks everybody! It helps, but I am still wondering about the expression "done 
gone". If it was "another man has gone" I would understand. But what is "done 
gone"? Is it some american expression?

Also I was looking for what Alex Paclin (or Carlos del Junco) is singing 
exactly. That last row of the song is not clear. So if somebody native speaker - 

I am not - could "translate" that for me, I would be grateful. I cannot get it 
from the video. 

thanks
zombor

Hi Zombor,

Its a real old son... I think Sonny Boy Williamson II (Rice Miller) did a 
version of this song.

"Another man done gone" means that another man died or was killed...

Here's some lyrics that I found on the internet... might not be exact to what 
Alex Paclin is singing on the YouTube video, but similar:

Another man done gone (another man done gone) 
Another man done gone another man done gone another man done gone 
Another man done gone (another man done gone 
Another man done gone another man done gone) 
He had a long chain on (he had a long chain on 
He had a long chain on he had a long chain on) 
They hung him in a tree they hung him in a tree 
They let his children see they let his children see 
(When he was hangin' dead) when he was hangin' dead 
The captain turn his head the captain turn his head 
He's from the county farm (he's from the county farm 

He's from the county farm he's from the county farm) 
I didn't know his name (I didn't know his name 
I didn't know his name I didn't know his name) 
Another man done gone another man done gone another man done gone 
Another man done gone (another man done gone 
Another man done gone another man done gone) 
Another man done gone another man done gone another man done gone


Hope that helps... cool song with a low-keyed harp !
