Subject: Lyr Add: CALIFORNIA STEAMIN' From: Anon. Date: 06 May 97 - 03:46 PM I found this ancient folk song lying around orally on paper, and would appreciate any more lyrics if anyone knows them. They seem to come from some ancient conflict. CALIFORNIA STEAMIN'
All the songs are gone, (all the songs are gone)
California Steamin' has led the thread astray!
Stopped into a site
I began to say -- You know, I think this song is old,
"This kind of song is wrong (this kind of song is wrong)
CHOR: All the songs are gone, and the sky is gray - Oral tradition. |

Subject: RE: Lyrics: California Steamin' From: Peter Timmerman Date: 06 May 97 - 04:59 PM Yes! How about "life can take its toll, with a 45 (er, 46) voice scroll". Yours, Peter |

Subject: RE: Lyrics: California Steamin' From: Elsie Date: 06 May 97 - 07:01 PM Ah...a broadside!! Definitely in the folk tradition! Don't lose the original manuscript, they will want it at the Library of Congress some day! |
Subject: RE: Lyrics: California Steamin' From: Anon. Date: 07 May 97 - 11:14 AM Gee, Susan, don't go away. It was meant as an even- handed tribute to/satire on the discussion, not another assault. If I had the words to "Purple People Eater" maybe it might have been funnier. |
Subject: RE: Lyrics: California Steamin' From: Date: 07 May 97 - 11:40 AM Bert says they are here.....http://www.summer.com.br/~pfilho/oldies_list/ron_transc/purple_people_eater.txt and they are!!

Subject: RE: Lyrics: California Steamin' From: Date: 07 May 97 - 11:55 PM Dear Anon, I don't plan to go away, I just won't ask for anything that isn't certain to be "folk". (My reply was meant to show that I too can smile at the brohaha that I inadvertently created...I actually thought your creation was quite funny-just wish I had thought of it :-) |
Subject: RE: Lyrics: California Steamin' From: Gene Graham Date: 08 May 97 - 01:37 AM If that was a SERIOUS remark about the lyrics to Purple People Eater....go to http://wwww.roughstock.com/cowpie in the NOVELTY section. |
Subject: RE: Lyrics: California Steamin' From: Anon. Date: 08 May 97 - 10:02 AM No, just another joke.... I will shut up now -- ironically I don't like people using anon or having to respond to anons - :-? |
Subject: RE: Lyrics: California Steamin' From: Allan -- looking for old college buddie Date: 11 May 97 - 07:24 PM Dear (long lost) Anon, I am so happy to see you are still doing well. If your first name is TRAD, I think we used to hang out together at the Guilded Cage Coffee House in Philly back in the 1960's. Allan |

Subject: RE: Lyrics: California Steamin' From: Max Date: 11 Jan 00 - 02:01 PM Is this in The SongBook? I think the controversy came from this thread. See, times haven't changed. |
Subject: RE: Lyrics: California Steamin' From: Áine Date: 12 Jan 00 - 11:53 AM Dear Max, No, this isn't in the Songbook. I'd love to add it if Anon. wants it there. Anon. -- are you out there? What do you think? -- Áine |
Subject: RE: Lyrics: California Steamin' From: Bert Date: 12 Jan 00 - 12:03 PM The Anon in this case wouldn't be "Belter" would it? |
