*Emmylou Harris (The Lady of american folk)

It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished `em well.
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle.
And now the young monsieur and madam have rung the chapel bell .
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.

They finished off an apartment with a two-room Roebuck sale.
The coolerator was jammed with TV dinners and ginger ale.
And when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well.
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.

They had a hi-fi phono, boy did they let it blast.
Seven hundred little records, all blues, rock, rhythm, and jazz .
But when the sun went down, the volume went down as well.
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell .

They bought a souped-up jitney, it was a cherry red `53.
And drove it down to New Orleans to celebrate their anniversary.
It was there where Pierre was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle.
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell .

They had a teenage wedding and the old folks wished `em well.
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle.
And now the young monsieur and madam have rung the chapel bell.
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.

Emmylou Harris (Alabama, 1947), cantautora de country estadounidense, es un incesante espíritu curioso y creativo, que se introdujo en la “música cósmica americana” del country con Gram Parsons como maestro en 1972.
Cambiando continuamente de lugar entre la costa este, Nashville y L.A. y casada tres veces, ha prestado su voz cristalina a Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton y Linda Ronstadt, entre otros. Fiel a sus antecedentes de country, Harris ha editado álbumes en solitario, famosos por sus versiones eclécticas de grandes temas americanos.
La canción que aquí versiona Emmylou Harris, "C'est la vie", es original de Chuck Berry, y puede oirse cantada por él en la famosa escena de "Pulp fiction", cuando John Travolta y Uma Thurman se marcan un buen baile rockanrolero.
