Hi, Kiva - the song is "July, You're a Woman," by John Stewart. I don't know if he recorded it with the Kingston Trio, but it has been available on various collections as a solo recording. I found the lyrics at a John Stewart Web page - click here. -Joe Offer-
JULY, YOU'RE A WOMAN by John Stewart
I can't hold it on the road Where you're sitting right beside me And I'm drunk out of my mind Merely from the fact that you are here.
And I have not been known As the Saint of San Joaquin And I'd just a soon right now Pull on over to the side of the road And show you what it means
La da da da da da da La da da da da da da July, you a woman, more than anyone I've ever known.
Yeah I can't hold my eyes On the white line out before me When your hand is on my collar And you're talking in by ear.
Oh, and I have been around With a gypsy girl named Shannon Daughter of the devil It is strange that I should mention that to you 'Cause I haven't thought of her in years.
La da da da da da da La da da da da da da July, you a woman, more than anyone I've ever known.
Oh, I can't stand this - I just checked CDNow to see if the song is available on CD. Yes, it is - on recordings by Robert Goulet and Pat Boone. There are also three John Stewart CD's that have this song.
