05 Mar 99 - 09:51 AM (#61423) Subject: Lyr Add: LET THE MERMAIDS FLIRT WITH ME (John Hurt From: From memory: Blues all along the oceanfront, Blues is everywhere, I want to sail the ocean wide, But I got no steamship fare, CHORUS: When my earthly trials are over, Cast my body out on the sea, Save on the undertaker's bill, Let the mermaids flirt with me. I do not work for pleasure, Earthly peace I'll see no more, The only reason I work at all, Is to keep the wolf from my door. CHORUS My wife controls our happy home, A sweetheart I cannot find, The only thing I can call my own Is a worried and a troubled mind. CHORUS Brad Sondahl http://www.camasnet.com/~asondahl/bradindex.html |

05 Mar 99 - 10:12 AM (#61431) Subject: RE: Mississippi John Hurt From: Jon W. My memory says the first line is "Blues all on the ocean, blues all in the air" and that he repeats the first verse at the end of the song (but of course all this might vary from performance to performance). Good job, Brad. |

05 Mar 99 - 01:46 PM (#61473) Subject: RE: Mississippi John Hurt From: Jeremy J Woodland I learnt the first verse as: Blues all in the ocean Blues all in the air I can't stay here no longer, lord I ain't got no steamship fare and another verse that goes: Blues all in my body My god has forsaken me If I ever see her face again I'll have to swim across the see

06 Mar 99 - 05:33 AM (#61536) Subject: RE: Mississippi John Hurt From: murray@mpce.mq.edu.au I posted the an almost complete set of lyrics to this here and then somebody filled in the missing parts. I have since gotten the book "The Music of Mississippi John Hurt" by Stefen Grossman, and the lyrics given there agree with the final result we got in that thread. Murray |

27 Jun 00 - 06:07 PM (#248094) Subject: RE: Mississippi John Hurt From: Max Steffan Grossman has several. I have 2 wonderful videos from his site with excellent footage of MJH. Send him a note asking him about it, he is a great guy. I'll bet he knows every single frame of video that MJH has ever been on too. His site is at: http://guitarvideos.com |

Sorry, the multi posts just reminded of the Monty Python Skit. Seriously though, you might try a search of Harry's Blues Lyrics. I believe if you go to the top of the page and hit links you will find one to that site. |
