Thread Name: Lyr Add: Young Man (Ray Phoenix & Mae Axton)
Subject: Lyr Req: Young Man
Back in 2000, one addition to a topic (Allen C's addition) contained bits of a song I'm looking for. I THOUGHT it was written and performed by Phil Ochs, but could be wrong.
Allen's bit: There are even some great songs about this topic. For instance, "Young Man" (which I have only heard performed by The Womenfolk). The first line is, "With what do you concern yourself, young man?" Succeeding verses begin with, "What are you crying for, young man?" and "What will you be when your life is through, young man?" Good questions. I'll try to post the lyrics after a while in a different thread. But I will tell you what the response to the last question is: "I'll be one with the fire in a lover's eyes, the pale of the moon in the midnight skies, the birth of a man and the death he dies - and love."
