09 Feb 09 - 08:54 PM (#2562344) Subject: Lyr Req: 'Oh, Mandolin' From: GUEST,Gus I heard this song performed on Saturday night and loved it. Does anyone have the lyrics? I found only a single YouTube rendition, but it's sung quietly by a little girl (who also plays it on mandolin!) and I can't make out much of what she's saying. Except part of the refrain: "Oh, mandolin, sing me a song, sweet and soft, to soothe my soul. I wanna dance; tonight is holy...." Taylor Pie, on her web site, says it was written by her and Herb McCullough and Debbie Nims, and she says she thinks it will one day be a bluegrass classic. I agree with that, though perhaps not if no one knows the lyrics. |

I want to dance till the night is gone And the sun burns away this bitter cold. 1. Moonlight slides across the tracks in my floor. North wind howls like a wolf at my door. How many times have I been here before? It's just you and me again. CHORUS 2. Bring love back in an old melody. Heal my heart. Take this sadness from me. Leave me with my best memories. Play like only you can. CHORUS [Recorded by Valerie Smith on "Turtle Wings" and by Taylor Pie on "Jubal".] |

I did get a hit on that abidjan4life site, but I confused it with another French language site (unhomme.fr) that had the YouTube video embedded but no lyrics, and so I didn't page down to the comments area. Good work! So, does anybody else think this song should get more play? |
