"Crosscut Saw", or "Cross Cut Saw Blues" as it was first called, is a bawdy blues song "that must have belonged to the general repertoire of the Delta blues".〔 〕 The song was first released in 1941 by Mississippi bluesman Tommy McClennan and has since been interpreted by many blues artists. "Crosscut Saw" became an early R&B chart hit for Albert King,〔 〕 "who made it one of the necessary pieces of modern blues".〔 ==Original song== Tommy McClennan's "Cross Cut Saw Blues" is a Delta-style blues, which McClennan sings and plays acoustic guitar with an unknown player providing imitation bass〔Most likely a washtub bass.〕 accompaniment. The lyrics are rife with double-entendre: :Now, I'm a cross cut saw, drag me 'cross yo' log :I'm a cross cut saw, and drag me across yo' log :Babe, I'll cut yo' wood so easy, you can't help say "hot dog" The song follows the classic twelve-bar blues progression, contrary to Big Bill Broonzy's characterization of McClennan's timing as "change from E to A to B when you feel like changing. Any time will do. Just close your eyes."〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crosscut Saw (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
