Madame B's New Video : SKIN and BONES

Like Paul Clayton's Murder Ballads, this is a collection of traditional (or newer songs that sound traditional) folk songs performed by a solo singer accompanying himself on guitar. Gitter's singing is much more animated, however (the liners say his screech at the end of "Skin and Bones" wrecked the studio microphone). The lively "Finnegan's Wake" is a highlight. Cover art fans should note that the haunted house cover is by Charles Addams. The album was recorded in 1957.

AND THIS IS MY COVER OF "SKIN AND BONES" :

EXPLOSE

Mon corps rempli d'équimoses se déchire de l'intérieur.
Mon coeur déborde et dégouline le long de mes cuisses.
Mes entrailles s'extirpent et cherchent à s'enfuir de cette enveloppe de chair.
Mon âme s'éparpille au gré de mes angoisses et de tes sarcasmes.
Le goût amer et sucré de la mélancolie envahie discrètement mon palais qui s'en délecte.
Ma langue recherche désespérément à lécher ces plaies remplies de ton amour perdu.
