Subject: Lyr Add: CHESAPEAKE BORN (Tom Wisner) From: Sorcha Date: 20 Jun 05 - 04:24 PM CHESAPEAKE BORN by Tom Wisner © 1979 (Chorus) I'm Chesapeake born, I'm Chesapeake Free I'm Chesapeake bound, (and) flowing with ease. I'm Chesapeake born, and bound to thee, (IN) Deed I am, (I'M) Chesapeake free. I'm the son of the rain, brother of the wind I follow on the water, I got tobacco on my chin. I seen forty years of sunshine, wind and rain. If I had a chance, I'd do it all again. (To chorus) She's the mother of the waters and the people of this land Forty river children reach to take her by the hand and flow through Maryland and Virginia to the sea, Atlantic born, Atlantic bound and free. (To chorus) I hear your song so clearly and I know that down inside the mother of these waters is flowing deep and wide. Sons and daughters of the waters life within, Gentle voices blending with the wind. (To chorus...whisper) (Repeat chorus ....full voice) http://www.herondance.org/studiostore/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=art&Category_Code=wisner#lyrics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mstNZjzR5i0 |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Chesapeake Born (Tom Wisner) From: GUEST,Magothy Date: 23 Feb 24 - 08:17 PM The first part mentions putting down the plow and picking up your tongue/tong? Cause you gotta be waterin all winter long Guess farm season is over time to work the bay |
Subject: ADD: Chesapeake Born (Tom Wisner) From: Joe Offer Date: 23 Feb 24 - 08:43 PM I think the tongs are for harvesting clams and oysters and crabs - but mostly oysters. Here are the lyrics from the album notes: CHESAPEAKE BORN (Tom Wisner © 1979) Put down the plow, lad, And pick up the tong 'Cause you got to be waterin' All winter long (repeat)
'Cause you're Chesapeake born, Chesapeake Free Chesapeake bound, and flowing with ease. Chesapeake born, and bound to thee, 'Deed I am, I'm Chesapeake free. She's the mother of the waters and the people of this land Forty river children reach to take her by the hand And flow through Maryland and Virginia to the sea, She's Atlantic born, Atlantic bound and free. (And I'm...) CHORUS I'm the son of the rain, and the brother of the wind Follow on the water, got tobacco on my chin. Seen forty years of sunshine, wind and rain. If I had a chance, I'd do it all again. ('Cause I'm...) (not in notes) I hear your song so clearly and I know that down inside the mother of these waters is flowing deep and wide. Sons and daughters of the waters life within, Gentle voices blending with the wind. (To chorus...whisper) (Repeat chorus ....full voice) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCQEmm-3Ldc The song is on Chesapeake Born, a 1978 Folkways album by Tom and Mark Wisner Also on Made of Water, by Tom Wisner (2012) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mstNZjzR5i0 |
