Subject: Lyr Add: EARLY (Greg Brown) From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 17 Jun 05 - 07:29 AM Just so it might show up in the next edition of the DT. EARLY (Greg Brown) Early one morning I walked out alone, I looked down the street; no one was around. The sun was just comin' up over my home, On Hickory Street in a little farm town. And [chorus:] Oooo-ee, ain't the mornin' light pretty, When the dew is still heavy, so bright and early. My home on the range; it's a one-horse town, And it's alright with me. The plow broke the prairie, the prairie gave plenty, The little towns blossomed and soon there were many. Scattered like fireflies across the dark night, And one was called Early, and they sure named it right. 'Cause [repeat chorus] Many dry summers parched all the fields, They burnt the fine colors and cut down the yield. But the rain has returned to wash away our tears, It's the fullest green summer that we've seen for years. And [repeat chorus] Roger in Baltimore

Subject: RE: Ain't the mornin' light pretty?while the dew From: Dale Rose Date: 08 Aug 98 - 09:48 PM I think it did not work because the line was too long for Word, so those last few characters got clipped off. Anyhow, a search for Greg Brown at musicboulevard.com will bring up his albums. It's on his 44 & 66 album. |
Subject: RE: Ain't the mornin' light pretty?while the dew From: Joe Offer Date: 08 Aug 98 - 07:22 PM Dale's link to "Early" didn't work for me, but click here for a link to an album called "Full Circle" by Boston area folksinger Gail Rundlett, who does a wonderful rendition of the song. Click here for the Greg Brown recording of the song. I'd still like to see MIDI versions of these songs. Anyone? -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: Ain't the mornin' light pretty?while the dew From: Dale Rose Date: 08 Aug 98 - 05:02 PM The song was written about the town of Early, Iowa. Greg Brown's version is definitely worth a listen~~sound sample at Music Boulevard: http://www.musicserver.com:8080/scripts/audio.exe?/user12345/~j-454149/33651000220 00a09.ra . . . BUT, if you can find it by Robin and Linda Williams, THAT is the version to listen to! It was on their 1979 June Appal recording, Dixie Highway Sign. I have tried several times to send this, but it would not go (luckily I had saved it to Word) so now I can add for Joe that Iowa Waltz is on Brown's Iowa Waltz album.

Subject: RE: Ain't the mornin' light pretty?while the dew From: Joe Offer Date: 08 Aug 98 - 04:08 PM Can anybody post the tune? I'm also looking for Greg Brown's "Iowa Waltz." The lyrics for "Iowa Waltz" are in the "Rise Up Singing" songbook, but not the tune. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: Ain't the mornin' light pretty?while the dew From: Cindy in OK Date: 08 Aug 98 - 12:15 PM I appreciate your help. I've heard this done and the husband and I are looking to expand our repertoire for the upcoming Nat'l Cowboy Symposium in Lubbock, TX next month. - Cindy |

Subject: Ain't the mornin' light pretty?while the dew From: ckellyhouc@aol.com Date: 05 Aug 98 - 08:45 PM Part of the words go: OOOOeeeee Ain't the mornin' light pretty, While the dew is still wet, so bright and early......It's a one horse town but it's alright with me. /That's all I know. What's the title? Recordings I could find? -- Thanks, Cindy in OK |
