Anyone help! I have a friend who is named Magdelena and we have recently been researching the origin etc. Did not know there was a song until I read it in one of the threads, and I would just love to suprise her with either the lyrics or if I can get it, a copy of the song.

Any details would be gratefully received.

Maybe it just doesn't exist.

After all the help I have had from catters in the past I find it hard to believe that no one has the answer, but, I suppose there is always a first time.

Never mind, have to try again another day.

LYRICS Writers: danny o'keefe

Magdalena sits in her chair
Speaking on the mass
She talks in splice and splinters
She laughs not breaking glass
She said that she would have me
Spirit her away
Stealing all my images
Till there's nothin' left to say

Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are

She tells me that she wants me
Then she tells me not to bother
She tells me that I couldn't hold
A candle to her father
She knows that she's got me
When I start to rave about
She'll justsmile and flash her eyes
And blow the candle out

Oh, magdalena
Oh, ho, ho, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are

Magdalena lying there
Could make a dancer stumble
Make a preacher bite his tongue
And leave him with a mumble
And if you think I'm crazy babe
Or that I'm kiddin' you
Just pay your dues and lose your blues
When she gets her tongue in you

Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are

Well, I can't be forgotten
And I can't be ignored
You find me with my poems
And my songs
But if upon your journey you're turning to l.a.
Won't you take this little red-haired girl aong?

Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are

Wilby, I had tried to locate any reference in Mudcat and had failed until I tried the spelling Magdalena. The song has been mentioned here. The poster seems to know this song so the best idea would be to send him/her a PM (private Mail) via Mudcat.

Good luck

Wolfgang

Just goes to prove NOTHING is impossible at Mudcat.

Thanks a million, Sorcha and Wolfgang.
