Subject: RE: Sing for Spaw 31 12 2010 at noon and/or midnight
At midnight East Coast time I told the music group about Spaw and his sterling qualities and asked for some Dylan songs.
We sang You Ain't Goin' Nowhere, Lay Down Your Weary Tune and our local bluesman came up with a non sequitur, if I ever heard one. He sang:
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does And she aches just like a woman But she breaks just like a little girl.
It was raining from the first And I was dying there of thirst So I came in here And your long-time curse hurts But what's worse Is this pain in here I can't stay in here Ain't it clear that--
I just can't fit Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit When we meet again Introduced as friends Please don't let on that you knew me when I was hungry and it was your world. Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do You make love just like a woman, yes, you do Then you ache just like a woman But you break just like a little girl.
But at least, Spaw, it was all sung in your honor.
