Subject: Lyr Add: BOUND TO GO (from The McCalmans ) From: John in Brisbane Date: 20 Oct 98 - 09:53 PM Extracted this from a recording by Scottish group The McCalmans about 15 years ago. Used to perform it in a Melbourne group known as 'The Jeff Kennett Blues Band'. Our namesake eventually became State Premier of Victoria - much to our surprise. We were exclusively a concert band, concentrating on satire and vocal harmonies - we stole the McCalmans harmony style unashamedly - and had a marvelous time. On one occasion we sang a marvelous song called 'The Drover's Dog' (maybe penned by Redgum?) which politely lampooned the then Prime Minister, Bob Hawke. A small number of older Labor stalwarts became most indignant, even though we had taken the mickey of all sides of politics.
It has a good singable tune, but I can't yet provide a quality MIDI for it. BOUND TO GO
We are three lowland travellers and now we must away
CHORUS
Bound to go bound to go
The road we've come was long and hard from coast to foreign coast
Well we've drunk and sung and slept a bit
And when travellin' days are over and the salt hangs on us all
CHORUS x 2

Subject: RE: LYR ADD:Bound To Go From: MMario Date: 21 Oct 98 - 09:46 AM how about a "not quality" midi file? something that will let us know approximate tune? |
Subject: RE: LYR ADD:Bound To Go From: John in Brisbane Date: 22 Oct 98 - 11:59 PM OK MMario, you've undoubtedly shamed me into giving it a try. It's just that people like Alison set such a high standard - don't sweat on the speed of reply too much - I'm performing this weekend, and a thousand miles away next week.
