OK, Stranger,
Got into the vinyl - the album is " Sharepickers" by Mason Williams & Friends, Warner Bros K46120. That's yer boring info for the day. Sit tight, deathless prose coming up:

"Well, I'm a little farm boy. I never felt free.
I was tied to my job and tied to my people,
Livin' like a chili bean in a can,
When along one day there cam a yo-yo man.

Well, he went where he wanted and he did what he pleased,
Never had it hard and the living coming easy,
Mighty fine words from a mighty man,
Going to leave my home & friends if I can.
And be a yo-yo man
Down at the etc.....

Well I left my home and I went out west
Headed up north to do what I like best
Bright light cities and your little dark towns
Yo-yo man he's a-going to get around

I'm a-hitching for a ride where the traveling's free
All your city limit signs look alike to me,
Traveling man is like a yo-yo top
Once he gets to spinning well he just can't stop (it’s a yo-yo sound)
Down at....

Well, that's it, if you want a cassette, just say. It's 2140 hrs. where I live - time for stress relaxant liquids, namely beer. Wanna go with me for a cold one?

Enjoy,
Roger Knowles
