i doubt if many of you have heard of this singer, songwriter

but in honor of his 61st b-day ...

 

 

dear abby, dear abby ...

signed, bewildered

 

bewildered, bewildered...

so listen up buster, and listen up good

stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood

 

dear abby, dear abby...

my fountain pen leaks

my wife hollers at me and my kids are all freaks

every side i get up on is the wrong side of bed

if it weren't so expensive i'd wish I were dead

signed unhappy

 

unhappy, unhappy...

you have no complaint

you are what your are and you ain't what you ain't

so listen up buster, and listen up good

stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood

but my stomach makes noises whenever i kiss

my girlfriend tells me that it's all in my head

but my stomach tells me to write you instead

signed noise-maker

 

noise-maker, noise-maker...

you have no complaint

you are what your are and you ain't what you ain't

so listen up buster, and listen up good

stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood

well i never thought

that me and my girlfriend would ever get caught

we were sitting in the back seat just shooting the breeze

with her hair up in curlers and her pants to her knees

signed just married

 

just married, just married...

you have no complaint

you are what your are and you ain't what you ain't

so listen up buster, and listen up good

daddy, won't you take me back to muhlenberg county

down by the green river, where paradise lay

I'm partial to "Long Monday" from the Fair and Square album.

She's got rug burns on her elbows

 

I've got 'em on my knees

 

I'm going steady with Iron Ore Betty

 

And shes going steady with me

[Siouxsie 1]

daddy, won't you take me back to muhlenberg county

down by the green river, where paradise lay

 

 

i like this song, too

 

but

john denver wrote it

 

 

john denver actually wrote a lot of good tunes

[Siouxsie 1]

we made love

in everyway love can be made

 

[pinfish_mauler 0]

i like this song, too

 

but

john denver wrote it

john denver actually wrote a lot of good tunes

 

Actually, everywhere I looked, John Prine is credited with writing Paradise.

 

I think Denver, like many others, simply covered Prine's tune.

[frank 2,365]

Please don't bury me

 

down in that cold, cold ground

[Siouxsie 1]

She's got rug burns on her elbows

 

I've got 'em on my knees

 

I'm going steady with Iron Ore Betty

 

And shes going steady with me

 

 

 

we receive our mail in the same mailbox

and we watch the same tv

 

 

[Siouxsie 1]

Please don't bury me

 

down in that cold, cold ground

 

 

 

and the deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size.

i stand corrected

 

my mommy is up visiting me from roanoke

and when i read the lyrics

and daddy won't you take me back to muhlenberg county

that you wrote,

i hollered to mommy asking the actual title of that song

she replied that it was paradise

and she told me that (when she was younger) she was in a band

that did that song

off john denver's rocky mountain high album

 

i jumped to the wrong conclusion

 

but

john denver did write a lot of great stuff

[Rusty Syringes 479]

Scientists decided to study

Why Siouxie's foul hoo-hah was muddy

They lifted a flap

Saw that Grand Canyon gap

Said, "Every man in this land must be her buddy"

[paulinstl 296]

Sam Stone came home,

To his wife and family

After serving in the conflict overseas.

And the time that he served,

Had shattered all his nerves,

And left a little shrapnel in his knee.

But the morphine eased the pain,

And the grass grew round his brain,

And gave him all the confidence he lacked,

With a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back.

 

Chorus:

There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,

Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose.

Little pitchers have big ears,

Don't stop to count the years,

Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios.

Mmm....

 

Sam Stone's welcome home

Didn't last too long.

He went to work when he'd spent his last dime

And Sammy took to stealing

When he got that empty feeling

For a hundred dollar habit without overtime.

And the gold rolled through his veins

Like a thousand railroad trains,

And eased his mind in the hours that he chose,

While the kids ran around wearin' other peoples' clothes...

 

Repeat Chorus:

 

Sam Stone was alone

When he popped his last balloon

Climbing walls while sitting in a chair

Well, he played his last request

While the room smelled just like death

With an overdose hovering in the air

But life had lost its fun

And there was nothing to be done

But trade his house that he bought on the G. I. Bill

For a flag draped casket on a local heroes' hill.

[Siouxsie 1]

hello paul

[pinfish_mauler 0]

john denver did write a lot of great stuff

 

Agreed.

[Me_2006 14]

I have no idea who this guy is. Hell, the only thing I'm familiar with in this thread is Muhlenberg County.

 

 

It sucks by the way. No idea what he was singing about.

[paulinstl 296]

hello paul

 

 

Sup?

[BiPolarBear 497]

I saw the correction on John Denver, but this is probably my only chance to insert my John Denver trivia. He is from Fort Worth like me. His first sold song was to Peter, Paul. and Mary. (Leaving on a Jet Plane)

This is a great one to play on acoustic guitar....

 

I am an old woman named after my mother

My old man's another child that's grown old

If dreams were lightening and thunder desire

This old house would have burned down a long time ago

 

Make me an angel that flies from montgomery

Make me a poster of an old rodeo

Just gimme one thing that I can hold on to

To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

 

When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy

He weren't much to look at, just free rambling man

But that was a long time and no matter how I try

The years just flow by like a broken down dam

 

There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em there buzzing

And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today.

How the hell can a person go to work in the morning

And come home in the evening and have nothing to say

 

Make me an angel that flies from montgomery

Make me a poster of an old rodeo

Just gimme one thing that I can hold on to

To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

all the snow has turned to water

christmas days have come and gone

broken toys and faded colors

are all that's left to linger on

i hate graveyards and old pawn shops

for they always bring me tears

i can't forgive the way they rob me

of my childhood souvenirs

 

chorus:

memories they can't be boughten

they can't be won at carnivals for free

well it took me years

to get those souvenirs

and i don't know how they slipped away from me

 

Bboken hearts and dirty windows

make life difficult to see

that's why last night and this mornin'

always look the same to me

 

i hate reading old love letters

for they always bring me tears

i can't forgive the way they rob me

of my sweetheart's souvenirs

 

(repeat chorus)

yes, and john's original title for this song was: babe, i hate to go

it was his manager who requested the name change

 

and wasn't he in the new christy minstrils .. or was it the chad mitchell trio

The Accident (Things Could Be Worse)

 

 

Last night I saw an accident

on the corner of Third and Green

two cars collided and I got excited

just being part of that scene

 

It was Mrs. Tom Walker and her beautiful daughter

Pamela, was driving the car

they got hit by a man in a light blue sedan

who had obviously been to a bar.

 

Chorus:

They don't know how lucky they are

they could have run into that tree

got struck by a bolt of lightning

and raped by a minority.

 

It was a four way dilemma

we all arrived the same time

I yielded to the man to the right of me

and he yielded it right back to mine

well, the yield went around and around and around

till Pamela finally tried

just then the man in the light blue sedan

hit Pamela's passenger side.

 

Chorus:

 

Pamela hit her head on the mirror

Mrs. Walker got a bump on the knee

the man hit himself in the face and said

"Why does this happen to me?"

the neighbors came out

and they gathered about

saying "Hey! who hit who anyway?"

and the police arrived at a quarter to five

and pronounced all the victims "Okay".

 

Chorus:

[SUXBNME 1,652]

Didn't he write this one too?

 

Seguro que han oído que yo soy educado

Soy un caballerito un chico bien portado

Un joven responsible y siempre bien vestido

Yo no se quien ha mentido

 

I don't drink or smoke ain't into dope

Won't try no coke, ask me how I do it, I cope

My only addiction has to do with the female species

I eat 'em raw like sushi

 

No me gustan ternos, mi estilo es moderno

Si me enterno, you me enfermo

Mi apariencia es dura, vivo en la locura

No me vengan con ternuras

 

So please don't judge a book by its cover

There's more to being a latin lover

You got to know how to deal with a woman

That won't let go

The price you pay for being a gigolo

 

There's not a woman that can handle

A man like me

That's why I juggle two or three

I ain't one to commit, you can omit that bit

You pop the question that's it

Haber uno, dos, tres, cuatro mujeres

Y la situaci?all?no muere

No es un delito calmo mi apetito

Con un llanto o un grito

 

So again don't let my lyrics mislead you

I don't love you but I need you

Would you rather have me lie

Take a piece of your pie and say bye

Or be honest and rub your thighs

 

Well, it's ten o'clock and I'm two hours late

I never said I was a prompt date

But you kept persisting that I meet your parents

Huh, they're going to love my appearance

 

Ding dong el timbre suena

Tu madre abre, que vieja mas buena

Le digo ¡Hola! Pero no para bola

Que se ha creido vieja chola

 

Go and serve the food mom

Que tengo ambre

If you don't hurry, me va a dar un calambre

Y usted señor? Why's your chin on the floor?

Sierra la boca por favor

 

What's this amor, these little huevos?

Esto s?que yo no pruebo

 

I'm used to good ol' fashioned

Homestyle Spanish cooking

If i try that I'll be puking

Well it's been a pleasure but we got to go

Regresaremos temprano

Cinco, seis, o siete de la mañana

Su hija esta en buenas manos
