Mudcat Cafe Number 61

Oh God told Maxwell, "Build me a Site!"
Max says, "Chill, I been drinkin' all night"
God say, "Tough." Max  say, "What?"
God say, "You can do what you want Max, but
Just don't come knocking at no Pearly Gate!"
Well Max says, "Just what d'ye want this site to say?"
God says, "Let's just call it Mudcat Cafe."

Well Old Man Spaw he had a bloody nose
Stuck in a ward with paper-towel clothes
He asked the doctors,  where can I go
Doctor  said there's only one place I know
Where they'll still love you, when you're old and gray...
Spaw sez, "Quick, man, show me the way!"
Doc says, "It's down at the Mudcate Cafe".

Well Rick the FIeld said to  Big Joe King,
I got forty second-hand folkies who cain't sing
And a ream of old Gibsons with broken strings
Do you know where I can get rid of these things?
And Big Joe  said let me think if there ain't some way...
And he hands old Rick a blue clicky piece of Cleigh
"Just take it all down to that Mudcate Cafe".

Now the fifteenth newbie on the fortieth thread
Said the jargon was gettin' stuck in her head
And the Songbook scansion was ruining her night!
So Troll said come here and step into the light... he says hmm
you're right
Let me tell the Gaelic Goddess, she'll make it all OK,
But the Gaelic Goddess, she was having her way
With a sad-eyed poet out at the Mudcat Cafe.

My, Anyone up for a bit of the Oyster Band's The Old Dance? I'll tackle vocals if someone (Sorcha or Jeri where are you girls?) would get fiddle. Oh, and a Sam Adams to whet my whistle before I start wouldn't be amis.

Eve, said God, Listen to me Keep your hands off the apple tree Eve and Adam wondered why Made some cider and gave it a try God came back and he made a row Go and toil by the sweat of your brow The snake said to hell with the daily bread Taught 'em how to do the latest dance instead

It's the old dance and a crooked dance too When you step outside the law Play your tune on your damned old fiddle it'll burn you up like straw.

God drove up in a bkg black car Took a drag on a fat cigar Said break the law and you pay the price Out you go from paradise Stuck a sign on every tree This is private property The snake said Property is theft Never mind, there's always one thing left

It's the old dance. . . Rip out a fiddle break there girls!!

God sends thunder God sends hail chills and spills and bills in the mail Plagues on the sly and the innocent Frogs and boils and government Take your partner in your spite Try and dance all through the night With your hands all round What'll you do when the sky falls down

But the old dance . . .

The fiddles take over again.

We do a pretty hard hitting rendition of The Ploughboy Lads where I come from, good strong guitar beat, low, heavy fiddle, a bit of base and some drums and nice, strong, (but not overly loud) vocals.

Oh when I was naught but sweet sixteen With beauty charms a blooming It's little little did I think At nineteen I'd be grievin

TEN THOUSAND MILES

O fare you well, my own true love, So fare you well for a while I'm going away, but I'm coming back If I go ten thousand miles

If I prove false to you, my love The earth may melt and burn The sea may freeze and the earth may burn If I no more return

Ten thousand miles, my own true love Ten thousand miles or more The rocks may melt and the seas may burn If I no more return

And who will shoe your pretty feet Or who will glove your hand Or who will kiss your red rosy cheek When I'm in the foreign land

My father will shoe my pretty little feet My mother will glove my hand And you can kiss my red, rosy cheek When you return again

O don't you see yon little turtle dove A-skipping from vine to vine A-mourning the loss of her own true love Just as I mourn for mine

Don't you see yon pretty little girl A-spinning on yonder wheel Ten thousand gay gold guineas would I give To feel just like she feels

Praise:

As a writer, I am sure you understand the importance of complete thoughts to a balanced communication. In the trade, these thoughts, when put into words, are called sentences.

Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions; your call will be routed through sixteen menu layers resulting in disconnection, under our Basic Plan. For the aesthetically inclined, we have three Advanced Plans, each with its own artistically designed path of beautiful links and sounds, also resulting in disconnection.

Sincerely,

Reveuil Tingmar Katier,
Consultant Extraordinaire

DOUBLE ACK!!!

My, my Kuiama, don't break your heart trying
To say how your Ma and your Pa passed away
And they left you to wander the ruin and decay
Real mean, that bullet machi-yi-yi-yi-yine!
