Thread Name: Lyr Req: Just a Thing I Do / Cathy O'Grady's Song
Subject: Lyr Req: Bob Gibson's Cathy O'Grady (Ballad of)
Was remembering a song done by the late Bob Gibson about Cathy O'Grady, the 'natural Mendocino lady' perhaps also known as 'it's just a think I do.' The song relates the story of an aspiring Don Juan having the tables turned on him when she informs him that she was just using him.
I have part of it in memory:
Her name Was Cathy O'Grady A natural Mendocino lady I picked her up hitchin' on the road to Caspar I had a personal question to ask her She said "come up to my cabin on the mountain above" I went up...and I fell in love Next morning when I asked her if she'd be my wife She told me her philosophy of life
It's just thing I do To while away an hour or two Mister let me tell you 'for you're too involved This ain't the place to get your problem solved It's just a game I play To while away a Mendocino rainy day It's just a thing I do, I do, It's just a thing I do...
