Roger in Baltimore Lyr Req: songs by The Brothers Four (23) RE: can i get the lyrics of 20 Jan 99


Mr. Lee,

Your English may not be perfect, but I can understand what you are saying. Welcome to the Mudcat. We have several storage areas for song lyrics.

The first is the Digitrad Database (DT) that you will see in the upper right-hand corner. I typed in [sloop john] in the white rectangle. The brackets [ ] force the search engine to look for songs with that two word phrase in them. The DT gave me one set of the lyrics you are looking for click here.

I have an alternate third verse that goes:

The cook he caught the fits, ate up all of my grits,
Then he went and ate up all of my corn.
O let me go home, please, let me go home,
This is the worst trip, I've ever been on.

The second resource is the Forum here. If you go back to the main page, you will see a series of blue underlined phrases. If you click on "Forum Search" you will get another search engine. I typed "green grass of home" (do not include quotation marks " ") in the rectangle labelled "body". It led me to another set of lyrics, CLICK HERE.

I am not familiar with the other song you requested, but some able-bodied Mudcatter will probably know the song for which you are looking.

Enjoy the songs.

Roger in Baltimore
