Subject: "Milwaukee, Here I Come... From: Armen Tanzerian Date: 22 Mar 01 - 12:45 AM ...from Nashville, Tennesee." Anybody got the lyrics for this one, or a web source to find 'em? And who recorded it, originally? As I recall, it's a man/woman duet tune. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Milwaukee, Here I Come... From: Armen Tanzerian Date: 22 Mar 01 - 01:57 AM Well, I answered my own query. I went to Napster and downloaded this tune by Jimmie Martin. Lord, have mercy, that guy just kicks butt on a song like this. Reminded me of why you just have to love ol' Jimmie, no matter how big a -- well, you know what -- he is when he's not singin'. |
Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: MILWAUKEE, HERE I COME (Les Fikes) From: Jim Dixon Date: 11 Jun 02 - 05:05 PM Copied from http://www.insurgentcountry.com/john_prine_milwaukee_here_i_come.txt Third verse from http://www.lyricscafe.com/p/parton_dolly/dolly218.html MILWAUKEE, HERE I COME (Les Fikes) INTRO: C G D G CHORUS: G C GWe turned on the TV, Porter Wagoner was singing loud. (Or, "We were watching TV. Ernest Tubb was singing loud."*) I said, "That's the man for me. I love him; there's no doubt. I'm leaving you and going now to find out where he's at. If I can't get him I'll settle for that bluegrass Lester Flatt." CHO. I'm going now and trade my old Ford for an Olds. I might get all drunked up and trade it for a Rolls. But there's one thing I know for sure: I'll always be blue. There ain't no way to get drunk enough to stop loving you. CHO. [As sung by Dolly Parton with Porter Wagoner on "Always, Always," RCA Victor #LSP-4186, 1969; except *As sung by John Prine with Melba Montgomery on "In Spite Of Ourselves," Oh Boy CD #19, 1999. Prine omits the 3rd verse.] |
