Bill Lyr Req: Hurry Sundown + It's a Long Road to ... (6) Lyr Add: HURRY SUNDOWN (Robinson/Harburg) 17 Oct 97


Howdy Miranda,

From the Peter, Paul and Mary site, I found that I was correct about "Hurry Sundown" being on their "Album" album. Here are the lyrics from that site (specifically at http://www.downeast.net/ppm/nppmalbum.html#song6).


HURRY SUNDOWN
(Robinson/Harburg) Northern Music Corp. ASCAP

My seed is sown now, my field is plowed;
My flesh is bone now, my back is bowed.

CHORUS: So hurry, sundown, be on your way,
And hurry me a sun-up from this beat-up sundown day.
Hurry down, sundown, be on your way;
Weave me tomorrow out of today.

Tomorrow's breeze now, blows clear and loud;
I'm off my knees now, I'm standing proud. CHORUS

My sorrow's song, now, just must break through,
That brave new dawn, now, long overdue. CHORUS

Hurry down, sundown, get thee be gone,
Get lost in the sunrise, of a new dawn.
Hurry down, sundown, take the old day,
Wrap it in new dreams, send it my way!
Send it my way!
Send it my way!


I never sang that one with a Scout camp group or the other two. I do remember "Hurry Sundown," but I haven't heard of the others.

Allinkausay,
Bill
