Interesting charactor - I need to explore his music more.

Naw - most requests are NOT WildGoose Chases - it might appear that way because the really "tough" ones remain up for awhile.

Welcome aboard - there pototaos in the kitchen that need k-peeling

North Star


Words Music byJesse Winchester
From the LP "Third Down, 110 To Go"
Copyright 1972

Heaven's got this one star that don't move none
And that's the place you want to aim your soul
Set you on a spot that knows no season
And be satisfied just to watch old Jordan roll

Now, does the world have a belly button?
I can't get this out of my head
Cause if it turns up in my yard
I'll tickle it so hard
'Til the whole world will laugh to wake the dead

We've all heard that one note song that says it
And a gentle little hum is all it is
Close your ears and you can't help but hear it
And a gentle little hum that's all it is

Does the world have a belly button?
I can't get this out of my head
Cause if it turns up in my yard
I'll tickle it so hard
'Til the whole world will laugh to wake the dead

"1972 Jesse Winchester From the LP "Third Down, 110 To Go"
