Thread Name: Lyr Req: Patches (rec. by Dicky Lee, 1962)
Subject: RE: Req: circa 1958 song I think named 'Patches'
Now, when you get a dead-lover folk song, at least a visit from same is a warning of impending doom. Has anyone heard "Th' Unquiet Grave"? Rosalie S. does it, I know. Don't know who else. I heard about this one most of my life, but didn't hear it until Rosalie did it. Girl's engaged to be married; fiancee dies (of something now curable) and is buried; girl takes to moping around the grave and weeping and wishing he could come back; a year later he does--but to tell her off(Leave me in peace, get on with your life, this moping around is NOT A Good Thing...). Those old rock'n'roll dead-lover things are just icky. (IMnever-to-beHO)   Kissy-kissy......Tw
