I saw him on TV a long time ago, when TV was bold enough to occasionally pander to the counterculture. It was on a venue such as "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour," but it wasn't that show. He sat cross-legged in the middle of the stage and played (I think), Wear Your Love Like Heaven. When he was done, the audience threw flowers at him. The same show also aired Arlo Guthrie, who did (I think, again) The City of New Orleans. Arlo also discussed the problem of finding a word that rhymed with "orange." The only word he could think of was "door hinge."

Amos, I saw a documentary awhile back and if I recall correctly, when Dylan was performing in England in the sixty's he made a remark on stage at the Palladium or someplace like that about Donovan's gender identity. There was also some footage of he and Dylan in a hotel room in England. Dylan was being particularly surly and rude to Donovan, who obiously idolized him.

There was also talk here years ago, in Canada at least, that Dylan wrote "Baby Blue", as a put down of Donovan. I think this was covered on other threads, by people more knowledgeable than I, and I haven't read any of the old threads regarding this issue, so this may be a matter of dispute. I'm also finding I really need to seriously consider a regimen of Ginkgo lately.

Amos, is your third line right? I always sing "a man that stepped over the line was for glory, and he that was left better fly. When over the line stepped a hundred and seventy nine.. just asking in case I'm wrong, though i wrote it out word for word from the album. Cheers Eric

There is two more verses. Jim Bowie lay dying his blood and his powder were dry. But his knife at the ready to take a few more in reply. Young Davy Crocket lay laughing and dying the blood and the tear in his eye For Texas and freedom no man was more willing to die

Chrs

A messanger sent to the battle once bloody and loud. He found only skin and bones where he once left a crowd Fear not little darling of dying for we'll fight 'till the last of us be We'll fight for Texas and freedom and liberty chrs Remember the Alamo!

Young turks are always manic about competition, Metchosin... but I never really tracked the link between those two -- what did BD do?

And where did Donovan end up, anyway?

Hey!.... this guy was one of my favorites! If Dylan can be considered a folky singing "Leopardskin Pillbox Hat" so can Donovan singing "How High the Gulls Fly Oer Islay". I considered it a time of "peace" and "love" and not just a time for acerbic "put down"

Dylan's animosity and rudeness towards Donovan, forever put me off Dylan. Some of Dylan's songs are pure genius but he still belongs on a previous thread linking creative genius to personality defects.

As regards the Alamo, there is a trad itional song called REMEMBER THE ALAMO here. The 1960's song by the same name, popularized by the Kingston Trio and Donovan, I do not find in the DT. It goes:

One hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
By the line that he drew with his sword when the battle drew nigh
Let he who would fight to the death step over,
But he who would live better fly.
And over the line stepped a hundred and seventy-nine!

Cho.:Way up! Santy Anna we're killing your soldiers below,
So the rest of Texas will know,
And remember the Alamo.

'S all I remember...but there is at least one more verse.

kat, I think the album you had was Donovan's "For Little Ones" and the songs were "The Magpie" and "Widow with a Shawl" (a portrait) "dear wind that shakes the barley free. blow home my true loves ship to me,Fill her sails, I a weary wait upon the shore" ring a bell?

Eric, maybe you can help me figure out which album i had and lost in the 60's to a rat who never returned it? The only think I can remember is it had, I think, a psychedelic cover and have the chaffinch song on it (sorry, it's very vague) as well as the widow on the shore one. Darn it, it would've been new in 1968 or '69, I think. Ring any bells?

Thanks,

kat

I have quite a bit of Donovan tab. I didn't write it. I got it sent to me by a guy named Roger Mock, can't find his e-mail address now, but I can copy and pass it on if interested.e-mail me; eric@lackford20.freeserve.co.uk by the way there was always some Dylan Vs Donovan arguement going on in the mid 60's about who was better- I always figured the two were distincly different and love the work of both of them. I play both dylan and Donovan (earlier thread creep!!) I think they both have their place in folk music. I ahve seen both, and have almost everything on vinyl or CD by both of them. Sutras is brilliant, and the "marble arch" records now copied onto various CD's were also good. I wans't too sure about HMS Donovan, but Cosmic wheels!!!!! Yeah man!ride on, peace n love

Thank you one and all - I appreciate the input. I'd like to go back and comment on all your replys - but thanks for the links, thanks for the tips, I agree that Donovan's first two albums were full of traditional folk (and hearing Donovan sing "Remember the Alamo" is truly an intergallactic cross-cultural event if there ever was one). And John in Brisbane, I'm intrigued... I'll try to teach this 49 year old mind something new (and completely different) so that I can translate your contribution. Katlaughing, you have me out looking for "Sutras" today...Thank you one and all...anyone else care to share?_

Donovan's Home Page has a thorough discography but instead of the lyrics hte following bit:
Part I: The Lyrics

Update December 1997. I have had to take off the lyrics because of an e-mail from the publisher of the songs, Donovan Music.

'Spaw, if you liked that, you really should listen to Sutras; really, really beautiful songs, almost all of them love songs, a great mix & superb words & tunes.

Angus, here's a link to Lyrics World, where yoou can find words to some of the oldies by the Man: Donovan lyrics

" twas then that the Hurdy Gurdy Man came singing songs of Lo-o-ove...Hurdy Gurdy Hurdy Gurdy Hurdy Gurdy Gurdy he sa-a-ang...." background music for a quaalude overdose.

I think the Intergalactic Laxative was from Cosmic Wheels , which was my favorite Donovan album, Susan.

Donovan probably did as much folk (maybe more) as any of the others from his early days, trad like Candy Man, Coulter's Candy, Henry Martin, Young But Growing, etc.) as well as Buffy S Marie's "Universal Soldier", Woody' "Car Song", Tom Paxton's "Rambling Boy" as well as many folk covering his material. I always loved his Where Your Love Like Heaven, From A Flower To A Child era, these are the songs I sang years later to my kids & we all loved them & still do. Barry

as in "You make my bowels loose?".........Susan my old Counc. of the Southern Mountains Buddy, would I say something like that?

Angus, you're right that Donovan doesn't get mentioned much around here........It all gets back to what's folk and we discuss that subject ad nauseum. However, you will find one post about Donovan from me on a favorite love songs thread. One of mine is "Catch the Wind"...if he never did anything else, that one is worth it!!!

What! No yellow is the color of my true love's hairrr?? Actually, what I really want is the Intergalactic Laxative . A friend of mine had loaned me a Judy Collins, Tom Paxton tape when I was in Germany. I was listening to it while drifting off to sleep, and at the end he'd put this song. All I can remember is

If Shitting is your problem when you're out among the stars The intergalactic laxative will get you from here to Mars.

Any help with this one (Now DON'T suggest prune juice, please)

Susan, the high-minded Donnovan fan.

Ah, Angus, a man after my own heart! I will have to do some checking, because I think I may have found some for some of his older songs back early this Spring. I also went looking for the lyrics to his cd of last year, "Sutras" and as near as I can figure, based on what other postings I saw in fan sites, he keeps a very tight control on them and hasn't allowed anyone to make them available anywhere; they aren't even on the liner notes, so short of listening & trying to jot them all down, I'm sunk.

I will look back in my "history thing" on the 'pewter & see what I found. Hopefully someone else will come to our rescue.Oh, and who cares if he is considered strictly "phoak" or not. The man can write words and sings beautifully. Have you heard Sutras? There's not one song on there that doesn't sounds fabulous.

OK, OK, He's probably not a true "folkie", but he did dedicate a song to Woody Guthrie and a lot of "folkie's" did sing his songs. I was surprised when I did a search that no Donovan songs appeared on the database. Anyone know a link with a good collection of Donovan Lyrics?
