Thread Name: Lyr Req: Rollin' Home (John Tams)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When we go rolling home
Hi Murray The words I have on my website I took partly from a recording of Roy Bailey singing the song. John Tams sings it regularly in concert as an encore but by that time I'm too over-excited to be taking notes. I have a recording of him singing the first, second and last verses which are definitely the same as what Roy sang on the recording I took the other two verses from. Like I said, I waved the piece of paper under JT's nose as part of a general discussion of "have I got these words right"; I said I hadn't heard him sing the two Roy Bailey verses and were they his or Roy's and he said "I wrote them". But how closely he looked I don't know. Given his attitude on songs evolving and being changed to suit the singer and circumstances I'm not sure how important it is!
cheers
