Biografia:
Tony Joe White, conhecido como a "Raposa do Pântano" por ser um dos criadores do swamp rock, nasceu em Louisiana em 23/07/1943. Iniciou a carreira tocando em clubes do Texas na década de 60. Em 1968, como tantos outros, achou a estrada que levava a Nashville, Tennessee. Foi pouco depois dessa mudança que Tony chegou ao seu primeiro grande sucesso, "Polk Salad Annie", do album Black & White. Esta canção foi gravada depois por Tom Jones e era uma das favoritas de Elvis Presley.

Tony Joe White - Clovis Green

C D Em
Clovis Green was a wealthy man
C D Em
He made his living raising sugar cane
C D Em
He had spent his life working the land
D Em
Just outside the town of New Orleans
C D Em
His daughter Angelie was an only child
C D Em
She was a lovely girl of seventeen
C D Em
You would never find her out running wild
D Em
She was a debutante in New Orleans
G F
Sent her off to the finest school
C Em
So very young never paid no dues
G F
Her momma said "honey you can't lose
C Em
We've got your life planned out for you"
But they reveived a letter in the spring
And she wrote "I know ya'll think I'm crazy
But I'm coming home I've broken all your dreams
Cause you see, I'm going to have a baby"
And his wife looked at him and said
"Clovis, can you tell me true
What in the world are we gonna do
We've given her everything we can
Lord sometimes I just don't understand"
A child was born in the fall
But nobody ever mentioned the father
But when all the neighbors came to call
They would say he looked just like his mother
