Thread Name: Lyr Req: Adieu Madras (recorded by Leon Bibb)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: adieu madras, cherries and plums
Hi, I am looking everywhere for Leon Bibb records. here are the words I remember Madras was just a port of call
A seaport town in old Bengal
And I was only passing through
When love appeared, what could I do?
For love burned bright when it was new
But now adieu, Madras adieu.
.... (?)
And who'll recall, within a year, that ever I was standing here?
for love burned bright when it was new but now adieu
Madras Adieu
I had Cherries and Plums, my mothers' favorite and mine.. lost and I would also like to find it again. Maybe Eric Bibb (his son)has a way to reissue.. ? ( Quinto, Windsong, Easeman and many others.. )
