I am searching for the drawing/caricature of J Edgar Swoop that was on the album cover of the vinyl record. It was hilarious and was drawn to fit the ditty perfectly.

I suppose the loopy Liberal wingnuts will get their collective bloomers in a bunch when I post the song by Mason Williams. But, to be able to post the drawing/caricature along with it would be icing on the cake.

I do expect to be cancelled when I do this, but I am old enough to consider that a badge of honor.

I'm sure the song that was wanted (way back in 1997) must be I AM THE EAGLE by Rhett Davis. The lyrics have been posted here. There is information about the singer/songwriter's web sites here.

a friend of mine is looking for the lyrics to a song that has me stumped.

she claims it goes something like this:

"there once was and eagle

a 'something something (hight-flying)?' eagle."

She can't remember the next lines, but the eagle apparantly spots a rabbit (or something) on the ground and says somthing like this:

"Please do not fear me for i will not harm you

for i am in need of company."

The only other information she could give me is she thinks she last heard the song in the early 70s, and it was a slow ballad by a male vocalist. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I really want my friend to stop bugging me about this song.
