Subject: Lyr Add: ELLIE (Kathy Kallick) From: BK Lick Date: 10 Dec 00 - 02:33 AM ELLIE (Kathy Kallick) When Ellie was born, Mama said, "This is the last one Girl, don't be trouble or you'll break my heart Oh, I'm tired, too old to have a new child But you are a sweet child and your eyes are bright" As Ellie grew up, well, she tried to be a good girl Soon she had to lie to keep Mama satisfied She left home and got a job in the city Where she learned to talk pretty, and she learned to drink wine CHORUS: As the baby grows she learns to tell a lie That's easier to do to keep Mama satisfied Easier to say than all the reasons why That's why the baby tells a lie As the years passed, Ellie read her mama's letters As she fell asleep, she could hear her mama pray She'd wake up in the morning with a brand-new resolution She'd explain all of the lies to her mama one day CHORUS Ellie went back home to make peace with her mother She went to her bedside and mama opened up her eyes Ah, you are a sweet child and your eyes are so bright I know you've been a good child and she died that night Well, I know you've been a good child and Mama died that night CHORUS "Ellie" was first recorded on the Good Ol' Persons' I Can't Stand To Ramble in 1983 and subsequently on Good N' Live in 1995. -- BK

Subject: Lyr Req: Kathy Kallick lyrics From: GUEST,Erica Date: 02 Sep 04 - 09:21 AM Hi My name is Erica, I'm a young italian girl who loves american folk music and american singer-songwriter. I'm a folksinger, too. I'd like so much to sing a couple of Kathy Kallick songs, but I can figure out all the words. The songs are "Man in the moon" and "Midwestern boy" from "Matters of the heart" album. Can you help me, please? Thanks in advance! Erica |

Subject: Lyr Add: MAN IN THE MOON - MIDWESTERN BOY (Kallick From: BK Lick Date: 11 Sep 04 - 11:57 PM Here are the words Erica asked for -- but I think they dont fare so well on their own without music, so I've put some sound samples on Kathy's site, click here... And I can't resist including my favorite track from this 1993 recording, "Bakery Window Wedding." -- BK ==================== MAN IN THE MOON (c) Kathy Kallick, Red Shirt Pub. Co./BMI Someone was sayin' that they saw you smile It lit up the night just like a neon sign Warmed up my heart to hear about that spark Mystery profile hangin' in the dark CHORUS: You must be the man in the moon You must be the man in the moon With twinklin' eyes that could light up the night You must be the man in the moon You walk in the room shinin' like the sun Everybody wishin' on you, who'll be the one To wear you like a pearl, one lucky girl You lookin' down on the whole wide world CHORUS I took a little look late last night The sky was deep purple, it was cool and quiet I saw your smile, it was sweet and white There is not a star that could dim that light CHORUS ==================== MIDWESTERN BOY (c) Kathy Kallick, Red Shirt Pub. Co./BMI Come to me, midwestern boy Summer skin, warm as the corn One slow dance on a moonlight beach Dressed in just what you were born in Tall and lanky by the lake Smilin' sideways, a freckled face Wait for me, midwestern boy And I will meet you in that place Play those songs that tell a story Great beginnings and the end of childhood What a time to come of age Free love and the war a-raging I don't know the plans you made Gone to college or to dodge the draft I just needed someone to run to Until I finally turned eighteen [Do you remember when ... ] Perhaps the east coast or the west Just anywhere that's not so in between I'll see you, midwestern boy There's still time to have a dream Fireflies light up the dark Skin so brown and hearts so open Now close your eyes, midwestern boy And I will be with you tonight ==================== BAKERY WINDOW WEDDING (c) Kathy Kallick, Red Shirt Pub. Co./BMI Bakery window wedding, cardboard, paste, and paint Pretty as a picture, but it ain't It's not a movie and it's not a book This time it's for real This is how I feel Solid and sad The feelings are bad But they're mine and now is the time to change It looked so perfect, looked so right, looked so fine and fair Inside only air, nothing there We looked so good together We looked so much alike There must be more to life Like something to share something small Like walkiing and talking in the late afternoon How do these things happen, where did the passion die When did I get too busy to love my wife [to be your wife] Guess it's not easy Guess it's not free I guess it really takes work That's what the love is worth More than words The way things were on our very first Valentine's Day Bakery window wedding Cardboard, paste, and paint Pretty as a picture But it ain't ==================== |

Subject: Lyr Add: I CAN'T STAND TO RAMBLE (Kathy Kallick) From: Jim Dixon Date: 23 Sep 04 - 10:57 PM Copied from http://bluegrasslyrics.com/bluegrass_song.cfm-recordID=sp633.htm I CAN'T STAND TO RAMBLE Kathy Kallick I used to get so restless when I stayed at home. Couldn't stand the sight of me alone. And to stay the same was moving backwards more than standing still. To ramble 'round was my greatest thrill. CHORUS: I can't stand to ramble no more. I'd rather count the flowers growin' at my door. I'd rather sit and think of places I have been before. I can't stand to ramble no more. I used to have this driving desire to be out on the road. Now it's just another weary load; And the wanderlust that used to burn is faded to a glow In a longing for the sweet things that I know. This life's got me goin' places I have been before. I hear the wolves howlin' at my door. I'd like to settle down with the best man that I know And make some sweet old memories of our own. [Recorded by The Good Ol' Persons on "Good N' Live," 1995.] |

From: BK Lick Date: 25 Sep 04 - 04:32 PM We'll be putting lyrics uo on Kathy's website real soon now. If I may just tidy up a few things in the version Jim posted... I CAN'T STAND TO RAMBLE Kathy Kallick I used to get so restless when I stayed at home Couldn't stand the sight of me alone And to stay the same was moving backwards more than standing still To ramble 'round was my greatest thrill CHORUS: I can't stand to ramble no more I'd rather count the flowers growing 'round my door I'd rather sit and think of places I have been before I can't stand to ramble no more I used to have this drive inside to be out on the road Now it's just another weary load And the wanderlust that used to burn has faded to a glow In a longing for the sweet things that I know CHORUS This life's got me goin' places I have been before I hear the wolves howlin' 'round my door I'd like to settle down with the best man that I've known And make some sweet old memories of our own CHORUS [Recorded by The Good Ol' Persons on "I Can't Stand To Ramble," 1983, reissued 1995.] [Recorded by The Good Ol' Persons on "Good N' Live: a 20th Anniversary Collection," 1995.] |
