Subject: RE: Lyrics: Mississippi Summer
Some corrections - Tabor's diction leaves a lot to be desired:
Stanza 1, line 6: Watch for a change in the WIND
Stanza 1, line 8: Long as a bullet can SPIN
Stanza 2, line 3: HOES rise and fall in a distant field
Stanza 2, line 5: Thought I heard the ANGEL of Death OVERHEAD
Stanza 2, line 6: But it's only the cropduster's PLANE
Stanza 2, line 7: HOES rise and fall like the beating of wings
Stanza 2, line 8: Lord send us freedom and rain [Gives the Tabor album its title].
