31 Oct 04 - 02:49 AM (#1311993) Subject: ADD: Presbyterian Boy (Paxton) From: Joe Offer Boy, Paxton's diction isn't very good on this one. It was a bear to transcribe. -Joe Offer- Presbyterian Boy (Tom Paxton) I've been drinkin' a little too much I've been accused of losin' my touch And if you're goin' to be totally honest, I've been going crunch to crush (???) Mama's pride and joy,another Presbyterian boy, Out in the wide, wide world Out on a limb. I been makin' some silly mistakes, I've been blowin' some pretty good breaks, And if you wanna hear all there is, I'm a-wondering' what in the world it takes Mama's pride and joy,another Presbyterian boy, Out in the wide, wide world Out on a limb. Out in the wide, wide world Out on a limb. Oh, Lord, I get the feelin' Sittin' here spinnin' my wheels, Gettin' nowhere at all in record time. And just in case you wonder how the situation heals (?) Just nickel and dime, only nickel and dime. I've been lettin' it slip away, Losin' it day by day, Now all my friends are shakin' their heads, And wonderin' what in the world to say, Mama's pride and joy, another Presbyterian boy, Out in the wide, wide world Out on a limb. Out in the wide, wide world Out on a limb. Oh, Lord, I got the feelin' I'm sittin' here spinnin' my wheels, Gettin' nowhere at all in record time. And just in case you wonder how the situation heals (?) Just nickel and dime, only nickel and dime. I've been lettin' it slip away, Losin' it day by day, And and all my friends are shakin' their heads, And wonderin' what in the world to say, You're Mama's pride and joy,another Presbyterian boy, Out in the wide, wide world Out on a limb. Out in the wide, wide world Out on a limb. Transcribed by ear from Paxton's The Best of the Vanguard Years. The CD booklet doesn't have lyrics. The track is from the 1978 album, Heroes. |
