Subject: Lyr Add: DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO MACRAME (R Miles) From: reggie miles Date: 13 Jan 08 - 01:49 PM Do You Know The Way To Macramé? Reggie Miles © 2004 Do you know the way to macramé? I get the knots all wrong. The string's so long. I lose my way. Do you know the way to macramé? I've tried embroidery, knitting, even some crochet. Making bags, belts and headbands, Add some beads. How does it look so far? In a week, maybe two, a strap for my guitar, Weeks turn into years how quick they pass. You'd never guess, what I made next? Well, it's a coaster for your glass. I've got lots of friends who macramé. Think I'll give it a try, and make a tie with macramé. Do you know the way to macramé? They tell me, don't be shy, even a guy can macramé. Other crafts can cost a bundle, Spend a hundred bucks to make a hat Out of empty beer cans pounded flat Who, in their right mind, would wear that? So here it sits, in my garage sale, for a dollar and a half. Do you know the way to macramé? Ma, ma, mama, mama, ma, macramé, Ma, ma, mama, mama, ma, macramé. Hanging plant and candleholders, Made of rope or string or even twine. Add a branch from a tree, now don't it look fine? Tie your rows of knots in a straight line. You'd never guess, the weeks I've spent, tying knots and killing time. (Chorus) |

Subject: RE: Needed: question songs From: LeTenebreux Date: 13 Jan 08 - 09:30 AM I'm glad someone mentioned Tum Balalaika. I believe the received English translation of this song may have gotten mangled through the folk process. Here, I believe, is a correct translation; it was translated by Felix S. Cohen (who wrote the Handbook of Federal Indian Law). Maiden, maiden tell me plain What can grow, can grow without rain? What can burn for endless years? What can weep, can weep without tears? Tum Bala, tum bala, tum balalaika Tum bala, tum bala, tum balalaika Tum balalaika spiel balalaika Tum balalaika, freylekh zol zeyn Foolish child, the answer is plain Understanding grows without rain Love can burn for endless years A heart can weep, can weep without tears The standard translation is "A stone can grow, can grow without rain" "Farshteyn" (understanding) might have sounded like "a shteyn" (a stone). The former makes more sense to me since it fits better with "love" and "heart". Besides it scans better into English. Good luck in your quest. |

Subject: RE: Needed: question songs From: Joe_F Date: 12 Jan 08 - 07:54 PM The guest room in my parents' house in Vermont was called the D.A.R. room, because they had decorated it in red, white, & blue and had stenciled the question beginning the national anthem along the top molding. I was told that once my aunt & uncle (my mother's sister & brother-in-law) were put up there for the night, and in the morning my uncle had read it & guffawed, to his wife's embarrassment. |

Subject: Lyr Add: WILL THE ROSES BLOOM IN HEAVEN? (Carter) From: topical tom Date: 12 Jan 08 - 12:03 AM WILL THE ROSES BLOOM IN HEAVEN? Will The Roses Bloom In Heaven lyrics *** Get Carter Family ringtones *** In a cold and cheerless garret In a room so dim so lone In the frosty winter in silence There was heard a little mourn And a little child is asking At the break of the day Will the roses bloom in heaven Tell me momma tell me pray Will the roses bloom in heaven Are there any gardens there Any violets and clover Way up with the angels there Will the branches fill with blossoms And in winter fill with snow Will the roses bloom in heaven Tell me momma ere I go Now the room grows light and lighter Every thing has caught a glow Heaven seems to stretch about her While dreams they just come and go Then she whispered birds are singing Songs of melody And I see the roses blooming While the angels beckon me Then mother whispered In the land so bright and fair When the roses are blooming There will be no parting there Goodbye my little darling For death is lingering here And on the little pale face There was not one trace of fear *** Get Carter Family ringtones *** |

Subject: RE: Needed: question songs From: Jim Dixon Date: 11 Jan 08 - 11:59 PM Am I blue? Are you from Dixie? Are you lonesome tonight? Are you tired of me, my darling? Did your mother come from Ireland? Didn't it rain? Do you believe in magic? Do you hear what I hear? Does your chewing gum lose its flavor (on the bedpost overnight)? Don't it make my brown eyes blue? Don't it make you want to go home? Donald, where's your troosers? Has anybody seen my gal? Have I told you lately (that I love you)? Have you ever been lonely? Is 'e an Aussie, Lizzie, is 'e? Is it true what they say about Dixie? Is you is or is you ain't ma baby? May I sleep in your barn tonight, mister? Shall I have it bobbed or shingled? Shall we gather at the river? Should old acquaintance be forgot? What did Delaware? What did you learn in school today? What kind of noise annoys an oyster? What you goin' do when the rent comes round? What'll I do? What's the matter with the mill? Where did Robinson Crusoe go (with Friday on Saturday night)? Where did you get that hat? Where did you sleep last night? Where is my wandering boy tonight? Who knows where the time goes? Who stole the kishka? Who threw the overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder? Who wrote the book of love? Who's sorry now? Whose Izzy is he? (Is he yours or is he mine?) Why am I painting the living room? Why do fools fall in love? Why don't we get drunk (and screw)? Will the circle be unbroken? Will you go, Lassie, go? Will you love me when I'm old? Would you like to play the guitar? |

Subject: Lyr Add: BALLAD OF BIRMINGHAM (Dudley Randall) From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 11 Jan 08 - 11:14 PM Agree with Sandy Mc_L above. AKA - I Gave My Love a Cherry
Azizi???? How could you forget????? Ballad Of Birminghamby Dudley Randall???
Mudcat Thread:
Web Link:
Ballad of Birmingham By Dudley Randall (On the bombing of a church in Birmingham, Alabama, 1963)
Instead of out to play, And march the streets of Birmingham In a Freedom March today?"
"No, baby, no, you may not go,
"But, mother, I won't be alone.
But you may go to church instead
She has combed and brushed her night-dark hair,
The mother smiled to know that her child
For when she heard the explosion,
She clawed through bits of glass and brick,
Sincerely, |

Subject: Lyr Add: DADDY WHAT'S A TRAIN? (Utah Phillips) From: topical tom Date: 11 Jan 08 - 11:01 PM DADDY, WHAT"S A TRAIN? Daddy What's A Train Daddy what's a train? Is it something I can ride? Does it carry lots of grown-up folks and little kids inside? Is it bigger than our house? Well how can I explain When my little boy and girl ask me "Daddy what's a train?" When I was just a boy and living by the track Us kids would gather up the coal in big 'ole gunnysacks Then we heard the warning sound as the train pulled into view The engineer would smile and wave as she went rolling through She blew so loud and clear, we had to cover up our ears And we counted cars just as high as we could go I can almost hear the steam those big old drivers scream A sound my little kids will never know Daddy what's a train? Is it something I can ride? Does it carry lots of grown-up folks and little kids inside? Is it bigger than our house? Well how can I explain When my little boy and girl ask me "Daddy what's a train?" I guess the times have changed, kids are different now 'Cause some don't even seem to know the milk comes from a cow My little boy can tell the names of all the baseball stars I remember how we memorized the names on railroad cars The Wabash and the TP, Lackawanna, the IC The Nickel-Plate and the good old Santa Fe Just names out of the past, I guess they're fading fast Every time I hear my little boy say Daddy what's a train? Is it something I can ride? Does it carry lots of grown-up folks and little kids inside? Is it bigger than our house? Well how can I explain When my little boy and girl ask me "Daddy what's a train?" We climbed into the car, drove down into town Right out the depot house, but no one was around We searched the yard togheter for something I could show But I knew there hadn't been a train for a dozen years or so All the things I did when I was just a kid How far away those memories appear I guess it's plain to see they still mean a lot to me 'Cause my ambition was to be an engineer Daddy what's a train? Is it something I can ride? Does it carry lots of grown-up folks and little kids inside? Is it bigger than our house? Well how can I explain When my little boy and girl ask me "Daddy what's a train?" |

Subject: Lyr Add: WHO KILLED DAVEY MOORE (Bob Dylan) From: Little Hawk Date: 11 Jan 08 - 07:19 PM "Who Killed Davey Moore" - Bob Dylan Who killed Davey Moore, Why an' what's the reason for? "Not I," says the referee, "Don't point your finger at me. I could've stopped it in the eighth An' maybe kept him from his fate, But the crowd would've booed, I'm sure, At not gettin' their money's worth. It's too bad he had to go, But there was a pressure on me too, you know. It wasn't me that made him fall. No, you can't blame me at all." Who killed Davey Moore, Why an' what's the reason for? "Not us," says the angry crowd, Whose screams filled the arena loud. "It's too bad he died that night But we just like to see a fight. We didn't mean for him t' meet his death, We just meant to see some sweat, There ain't nothing wrong in that. It wasn't us that made him fall. No, you can't blame us at all." Who killed Davey Moore, Why an' what's the reason for? "Not me," says his manager, Puffing on a big cigar. "It's hard to say, it's hard to tell, I always thought that he was well. It's too bad for his wife an' kids he's dead, But if he was sick, he should've said. It wasn't me that made him fall. No, you can't blame me at all." Who killed Davey Moore, Why an' what's the reason for? "Not me," says the gambling man, With his ticket stub still in his hand. "It wasn't me that knocked him down, My hands never touched him none. I didn't commit no ugly sin, Anyway, I put money on him to win. It wasn't me that made him fall. No, you can't blame me at all." Who killed Davey Moore, Why an' what's the reason for? "Not me," says the boxing writer, Pounding print on his old typewriter, Sayin', "Boxing ain't to blame, There's just as much danger in a football game." Sayin', "Fist fighting is here to stay, It's just the old American way. It wasn't me that made him fall. No, you can't blame me at all." Who killed Davey Moore, Why an' what's the reason for? "Not me," says the man whose fists Laid him low in a cloud of mist, Who came here from Cuba's door Where boxing ain't allowed no more. "I hit him, yes, it's true, But that's what I am paid to do. Don't say 'murder,' don't say 'kill.' It was destiny, it was God's will." Who killed Davey Moore, Why an' what's the reason for? |
