Subject: Sister Josephine (lyrics) From: John Date: 22 Apr 97 - 12:33 AM I am in the unusual position of knowing the chords but no lyrics about nuns bemoaning the fact that Sr, Josephine had left after having such a good time gambling, drinking etc. with them. The departed nun is surely an escaped prisoner but the nuns are oblivious to this fact. Possibly written by Jake Thackray? Any clues please. |

Sister Josephine
Oh Sister Josephine
While you Sister Josephine
The Policemen say thet Josephine's a burglar in diguise
Oh Sister Josephine
While you sister Josephine
Admittedley her hands are big and hairy
Oh Sister Josephine
While you sister Josephine
No longer will her snores ring through the chapel during prayers
Oh Sister Josephine
While you sister Josephine
Words & Music Jake Thackeray

Subject: RE: Sister Josephine (lyrics) From: Bert Hansell Date: 23 Apr 97 - 10:48 AM Wow! That takes me back a few years. I think the last time I heard that was on TW3 (The English TV show 'That was the week that was'). Must have been back in the early sixties. I'll see if I can find my copy of Jake Thackray's 'On Again, on again' and transcribe some of his songs. I couldn't find any on DT. Thanks, Bert.

Subject: RE: Sister Josephine (lyrics) From: dick greenhaus Date: 24 Apr 97 - 10:54 AM Hi AndyG- Haven't received aforementioned lyrics as yet; I'll keep an eye out for them. They won't make the very-soon-to-be-released April 1997 edition; we already have a total of 6500 lyrics and we're working on editiong, formatting and cross-referencing them. BUT (as far as the DT goes), after April, there's October. thanx. dick |

If I sent a rose to you
And if you took the petals and you tore them all apart,
If someday you're feelin' blue,
Note. Song was recorded by several artists, including George Morgan. |
Subject: RE: Sister Josephine (lyrics) From: John in Brisbane Date: 26 Mar 98 - 08:52 PM Hi Dick and Andy, I gather that Andy's lyrics to Jake's songs haven't yet materialised. I must admit that I only checked for 'Sister Josephine'. Jake's lyrics are too good to keep buried. Regards John |

Subject: RE: Sister Josephine (lyrics) From: Tig Date: 23 Nov 01 - 04:59 PM Has anybody seen or heard of Jake recently? He used to teach with my dad at Intake High when I was young. We kept in touch and went to bookings etc. but then he disappeared totally. I'd love to know how he is. (I was Christine Jackson in those days!!) |
