Sam Cooke- Another Saturday Night

Lyrics:

Another Saturday Night, but I ain't got nobody
I got some money, 'cause I just got paid
How I wished I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way, take this

I got to town a month ago,
I seen a lot of girls since then
If I could meet them I could get them
But as yet I haven't met them
That's why I'm in the shape I'm in

Another Saturday Night, but I ain't got nobody
I got some money, 'cause I just got paid
How I wished I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

Now, another fella told me,
He had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of being my deliverance
She had a strange resemblance
To a cat named Frankenstein

Another Saturday Night, but I ain't got nobody
I got some money, 'cause I just got paid
How I wished I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

It's a hard on a fella, when he don't know his way around
If I won't find me a honey to help me spend my money
I'm gonna have to blow this town, hear

Another Saturday Night, but I ain't got nobody
I got some money, 'cause I just got paid
How I wished I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

and that If he meets the girls , hell have no trboule banging them

[PerrriehPC]

sam is legend<333

[judgehodges1]

i personaly think he was set up by the police because he was one of the first self titled artist and he was black with a dont care attitude and they didn' like that shit and the girl he was with knew that and the black oman tha shot him was just a patsy.

[dannybans23]

Haha Sam knows whats good

[ScotsmanRex]

Then Cat Stevens did a pretty good version of this song as well.

@TheCarKid97 Oh, I got some of what you said from the book. I wonder if the case was re-opened today, if any light could be shed on the murder. A physical autopsy of the skeletal remains would be a good start. If the bone dame is as bad as the family claimed and Guralnik alleges, we might get closer to truth. Sam's murder was closed pretty quickly, in my opinion, since her was black, hung with a drug using crowd, was intoxicated, and a symbol of black upward mobility.

@PRR5406: Peter Guralnick's book is excellent, but goes off of reports that were filed in the mid-1960s. He says that nobody doubts the police reports (and he's proud of having the reports), but I think that's his error. Taking the police reports as fact is taking the motel owner's racially-biased story as fact, and that's not right. Her story is circumstantial evidence at best, and that 'evidence' is the victim her own racism, and as such I think we'll never know exactly what happened.

[PRR5406]

@TheCarKid97 Kindly amplify your theory of Sam's death. My guess is he picked up a prostitute, a "high end girl", and was set up for a robbery. His temper exploded, due to anger and the booze he had consumed that night, and the motel manager shot him as he railed at her. I haven't seen evidence in Peter Guralnik's book or on line to repudiate that idea. What do you know?

[TheCarKid97]

@PRR5406: If you believe the alleged story of his death, I've got a real nice bridge to sell you...
