Subject: Lyr Add: WHO KILLED NORMA JEAN? (Rosten, Seeger) From: Joe Offer Date: 15 Sep 97 - 03:18 AM WHO KILLED NORMA JEAN? Lyrics: Norman Rosten Music: Pete Seeger, 1963
Who killed Norma Jean?
Who saw her die?
Who'll catch her blood?
Who'll make her shroud?
Who'll dig her grave?
Who'll be the chief mourners?
Who'll bear the pall?
Who'll toll the bell?
Who'll soon forget? In his musical autobiography, "Where Have all the Flowers Gone," Pete Seeger says he read the poem in Life Magazine, and put a tune to it. On his "We Shall Overcome" CD, Seeger says Norman Rosten was a friend who knew Marilyn Monroe well. On the CD, the mother says, "I'll RING the bell." -Joe Offer- |
Subject: Who killed Norma Jean? From: Eric the Viking Date: 22 Nov 99 - 02:50 PM A long time ago back in the late 60's a friend of mine had a Pete Seegar album. (yes I know lots of people did!) On this album was a track called "Who killed Norma jean?" about the death of Marilyn Munroe. The song was in G to Dm7 I believe but I lost my tape of it years ago. If any one out there has all the words and chords I would be really pleased to get them. The song is along the same lines as "Who killed Davey Moore" and poses the questions to all the media, fans etc. Thanks folks. Eric. |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Who killed Norma Jean? From: Susanne (skw) Date: 22 Nov 99 - 07:34 PM I was about to dash to my record rack and dig out Elton John's song, but noticed in time it wasn't what you want. (How DID I get the idea it might be?) I've never heard 'Who killed Norma Jean', only read about it, so I'll have to get the CD, I suppose. - Susanne |
