Computer Chessman - Garry
Kasparov
Frank Delaney
I just loved the idea of
a human beating a computer. Sung to the melody of John Henry in Open D
When
Garry Kasparov was a baby, way back in Ah-zer-bay-john,
he
picked up a chessboard and a little white pawn,
said
this chess game be the death of me, lord lord, chess game gonna be the death of
me.
Well
the Chessmaster said to Garry Kasparov,
gonna
bring a mainframe 'round,
big
IBM mainframe computer, boy, with 32
brains,
gonna
whup all your games on down, Lord Lord, gonna whup all your games on down.
Well
Garry Kasparov said to the Chessmaster,
a
man ain't nothin' but a man,
but
before I'd let a mainframe whup me on down,
I'll
die with my chessboard in my hand, Lord Lord,
I
will die with my chessboard in my hand.
Well
Garry Kasparov beat that old mainframe,
yeah
he whupped old Deep Blue down,
then
he packed up his things, and he headed
back home
saying
" I'm just chess playin' man, Lord
Lord,
Yeah,
I'm a chess playin' hewman."
