Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cuckoo's Nest (John Hartford) From: GUEST Date: 13 Apr 11 - 01:46 PM Dream a little dream of you a tiny dancer in a field of blue a pointed toe as Tchaikovsky plays bended down so lowly it's your raven hair that makes me mad your insane eyes that make me sad the California feeling and the Mississippi smile that makes me come on slowly it's tryin to be real cool and soft so I won't take the chance and turn you off and not to get to know you just because of love that makes me come on slowly it isn't that I wouldn't want to make it all come true baby if I had the chance to be alone with you it's watching how you operate when the chips are down that makes me come on slowly (then he repeats the last verse) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Johnny Hartford - Cuckoo's Nest From: Jim Dixon Date: 29 Mar 08 - 02:16 PM John Hartford (I never heard of him going by the name "Johnny") recorded CUCKOO'S NEST on his album "Me Oh My, How the Time Does Fly: A John Hartford Anthology," 1982. John Hartford wrote the lyrics to the traditional tune. I heard these lyrics in a sound sample:
A tiny dancer in a field of blue A pointed toe … Bendin' … so lowly It's your raven hair that makes me mad Your insane eyes that make me sad A California feelin' and a Mississippi smile That makes me come on slowly. It's tryin' to be real cool and soft So …
With your golden hair and your eyes so blue Li-like a song Tchaikovsky plays It makes me come on slowly Raven hair that makes me mad It's your insane smile that makes me glad It's the California dreamin' and the Mississippi smile That makes me come on slowly. Tryin' to be real cool and soft Won't take a chance o' turnin' you off Watchin' how you operate when the chips are down That makes me come on slowly. It isn't that I wanna wanna make it all come true Baby if I had a chance to be in love with you Watchin' how you're operating when the chips are down That makes me come on slowly. |
