Subject: 'Conversation' songs From: Tony Burns Date: 29 Jun 99 - 08:59 AM I've asked for the lyrics to DAVY THE DROVER which is a song where a male and female singer alternate verses in a conversation. I'd like to find other examples of this style. The only one that springs to mind is THERE'S A HOLE IN THE BUCKET, where Henry and Liza discuss the problem.

Subject: RE: 'Conversation' songs From: Dan Date: 29 Jun 99 - 09:33 AM Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me. Tell me where did you sleep last night. In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines, And I shivered the whole night through. Black girl, black girl, where'd you get that dress, That silken dress of red? I got it from a railroad man, for lying in his bed. (etc., etc.) And how about one based on one side of a conversation? "The Chair" by George Strait. Interesting genre. Reminds me of La Chute, a whole novel comprising the voice of one character in conversation with one other who never speaks. Anybody read it? |

Subject: RE: 'Conversation' songs From: Barbara Date: 29 Jun 99 - 01:51 PM Berryman and Berryman (Lou and Peter) have written several if you want a more modern outlook. "PASS THE PEPPER", I believe one is called, is an archetypical husband and wife breakfast conversation where they inform each other of conflicting plans and neither listens. Or there is "ORANGE COCOA CAKE" where a woman attempts to give a recipe over the phone to a friend while dealing with her three children. And then there is "WHY AM I PAINTING THE LIVING ROOM?" If you want any of these (and they're not in DT, I haven't checked yet) I could post them. They also have a song called "DOUBLE YODEL" where the man and woman alternate not only the verses but the high and low parts of the yodel. Blessings, Barbara

I'll not accept your paper of pins, If that's the way your love begins, Ana I'll not marry you-ou-ou, No, I'll not marry you.

Subject: RE: 'Conversation' songs From: Songbob Date: 01 Jul 99 - 11:39 AM Late-19th Century pop songs had several such songs, including two I can think of just now: "THERE'LL COME A TIME," which is just conversation, no "he said, she said" stuff, between a father and daughter, in which the father reveals that his wife left him long ago, and he's sure that "there'll come a time, someday" when the daughter will leave him. It's corny and cloying and all those 19th-century things, but it's interesting. Not sure I can find the words, but I'll try to look for 'em. "JUST TELL THEM THAT YOU SAW ME," by Paul Dresser, from 1892, I think. A chance encounter on a street between a man "on pleasure bent" and an old school-girl friend who is obviously walking those streets. I _can_ remember this one, and if it's not in the DT, I'll submit the lyrics. Bob Clayton |

Subject: RE: 'Conversation' songs From: Annrai Date: 01 Jul 99 - 03:22 PM I'm surprised no one has mentioned "True Lover's Discourse"/"'THE LOVER'S DISCUSSION" amounting to a two-way conversation where the girl and her lover converse in alternate stanzas. A 48 verser, it takes some handlin'. A friend of mine and his wife from Glenfin in Donegal used to do it at weddings as their "party Piece" Extraordinarily enough it was penned by a Co. Down man from Magheratimpany near Ballynahinch - from where I first collected it. It had travelled all the way to Donegal with hardly a single word of difference. The late great Jerry Hicks was the first man I ever heard singing it, and he only ever recorded a much-shortened version. Annraoi |

Click here to play. The song begins 32 minutes and 45 seconds from the beginning of the program. I DON'T BELIEVE YOU LIKE MY SHIRT (Lou and Peter Berryman) PETER: I don't believe you like my shirt. I don't believe you like my shirt. Careful, now, the truth can hurt. I don't believe you like my shirt. LOU: If I were in a cavern a mile from Chattanooga, It'd be OK from there. If I were under water an hour from Tortuga, It'd be OK from there. If I were in a blackout a minute after midnight, Standing right beside you, dear, The moon behind the mountain and me without a flashlight, It'd be OK right here. PETER: Don't you like my after-shave? Don't you like my after-shave? Tell the truth and I'll be brave. Don't you like my after-shave? LOU: If I were in a space suit an hour from the shuttle, It'd be OK from there. If I were with the Packers in Cleveland in a huddle, It'd be OK from there. If I had influenza without my decongestant, And we were in a cyclone, dear, And I could keep a clothespin affixed to my proboscis, It'd be OK right here. Now it think I made you blue. I cut a piece of pie for you. Still I think I heard a sigh. Don't you like my pecan pie? PETER: For someone in a famine, who used to be a glutton, It'd taste OK to him. For a hermit in the desert with absolutely nuttin', It'd taste OK to him. If I'd been in a coma for half a generation, Dining intravenously, And you had lied a little and said my shirt was lovely, It'd taste OK to me.

Click here to play. The song begins 2 hours 47 minutes and 00 seconds from the beginning of the program. FORSYTHIA "A love song written in 7/4 time, being sung alternately by a baker and a gardener." (Lou and Peter Berryman) LOU: You are my sweet forsythia. I love to linger with ya. You are my pink geranium. I like to kiss your cranium. And goodness knows, You are my rose. PETER: You are my herb focaccia. I could just sit and watch ya. You are my chocolate nougat flan With bits of marble marzipan. I can't deny You're my peach pie. LOU: You are my gilded marigold With eyes of green and hair o' gold. You are my main magnolia. When you're sad, I'll console ya And burn my socks, But you're my phlox. PETER: You are my plum cannoli torte, And, I am happy to report, You are my mocha macaroon. I'd wait for half the afternoon To tell the gang You're my meringue. LOU: You are the dear wisteria I'd follow through Siberia. You are the one japonica I'd give my best harmonica, And it's a strech, But you're my vetch. PETER: You are the butter lemon ring I'd treasure more than anything, And if I may be very blunt, You are my maple berry bundt, And by the way, You're my parfait. LOU: You are my boutonniere of blue. PETER: You are my salt and short'ning too. LOU: You're my corsage and my silk. PETER: My baking soda and my milk, My cup of flour. LOU: My garlic flower. BOTH: You are my {flour/flower}.

Might even be in the DT, I've not had time to look. Best Don T. |

Subject: RE: 'Conversation' songs From: MGM·Lion Date: 09 May 11 - 04:33 AM The use of dialogue to advance the story is, of course, one of the main conventions of the ballad form; sometimes almost to the exclusion or near-exclusion of other elements [THE MAID FREED FROM THE GALLOWS, THE UNQUIET GRAVE], & almost invariably present to some extent. So there is no need for what appear to be 'conversation' songs, like THE SAUCY SAILOR, which surely derive from this convention, to be sung as duets ~~ tho, of course, they can be, most effectively: especially if explicitly conceived in such a form, as with HUSBANDMAN AND SERVINGMAN. ~Michael~ |

Subject: Lyr Add: COME UNDER MY PLAIDIE From: Jim Dixon Date: 21 Aug 17 - 11:40 PM This is a more complete version than the one posted by Indy Lass above. Note that it has 2 more verses, and in them, we get to see how Johnny feels about the matter. And, of course, the spelling is different. From The Pocket Encyclopedia of Scottish, English, and Irish Songs, Vol. 1 (Glasgow: Andrew & James Duncan, 1816), page 61: COME UNDER MY PLAIDIE. Tune—"Johnnie Macgill." Come under my plaidie, the night's gaun to fa'; Come in frae the cauld blast, the drift and the snaw; Come under my plaidie, and sit down beside me; There's room in't, dear lassie! believe me, for twa. Come under my plaidie, and sit down beside me, I'll hap ye frae ev'ry cauld blast that can blaw: Come under my plaidie, and sit down beside me, There's room in't, dear lassie! believe me, for twa. Gae 'wa wi' your plaidie! auld Donald, gae 'wa, I fear na the cauld blast, the drift, nor the snaw; Gae 'wa wi' your plaidie! I'll no sit beside ye; Ye might be my gutcher:—auld Donald, gae 'wa, I'm gaun to meet Johnnie, he's young and he's bonnie; He's been at Meg's bridal, fu' trig and fu' braw! O nane dances sae lightly, sae gracefu', sae tightly, His cheek's like the new rose, his brow's like the snaw! Dear Marion, let that flee stick fast to the wa', Your Jock's but a gowk, and has naething ava; The hale o' his pack he has now on his back; He's thretty, and I am but threescore and twa. Be frank now and kin'ly, I'll busk ye aye finely; To kirk or to market they'll few gang sae braw; A bien house to bide in, a chaise for to ride in, And flunkies to 'tend ye as aft as ye ca'. My father ay tauld me, my mither and a', Ye'd mak a gude husband, and keep me ay braw; It's true I loo Johnnie, he's young and he's bonnie, But, waes me, I ken, he has naething ava! 1 hae little tocher, ye've made a gude offer; I'm nae mair than twenty; my time is but sma'! Sae gie me your plaidie, I'll creep in beside ye, I thought ye'd been aulder than threescore and twa! She crap in ayont him, beside the stane wa', Whare Johnnie was list'ning, and heard her tell a': The day was appointed!—his proud heart it dunted, And strack 'gainst his side as if bursting in twa. He wander'd hame wearie, the night it was drearie, And, thowless, he tint his gate 'mang the deep snaw: The howlet was screamin', while Johnnie cried, Women Wad marry auld Nick if he'd keep-them ay braw. O the deil's in the lasses! they gang now sae braw, They'll lie down wi' auld men o' fourscore and twa; The hale o' their marriage is gowd and a carriage; Plain love is the cauldest blast now that can blaw. Auld dotards, be wary! tak tent wha ye marry, Young wives wi' their coaches they'll whup and they'll ca', Till they meet wi' some Johnnie that's youthfu' and bonnie, And they'll gie ye a horn on ilk haffet to claw. [You can see a tune for this song in The Songs of Scotland without Words for the Pianoforte edited by J. T. Surenne (Edinburgh: Wood and Co., 1803), page 76.] |

Perhaps I am mistaken. [M] But it's just that I remind you of Someone you used to care about. Oh, but that was long ago. Now, tell me: do you really think I'd fall for that old line? I was not born just yesterday. Besides, I never talk to strangers anyway. [W] Hell, I ain't a bad guy when you get to know me. I just thought there ain't no harm.

This town is full of guys like you, And you're looking for someone to take the place of her. [W] You must be reading my mail, And you're bitter cause he left you. That's why you're drinking in this bar. [Both] Well, only suckers fall in love with perfect strangers. [M] It always takes one to know one, stranger. [W] Maybe we're just wiser now. [M] Yeah, and been around the block so many times [W] That we don't notice [Both] That we're all just perfect strangers As long as we ignore That we all begin as strangers Just before we find We really aren't strangers anymore. |

Can I sit down beside you, blue eyes? --Well you see, my boyfriend just went into the washroom, And he'll be right back, And he's seven feet tall, And he always carries a gun. --Ah, well, if I beat up your boyfriend, And I take away his gun, And I sit down beside you, Can I buy you a drink, blue eyes? --I'm drinking Piper-Heidseick champagne that costs thirty-five dollars a bottle. --Ah, well, if I beat up your boyfriend And I take away his gun, And I sit down beside you, And I buy a bottle of thirty-five-dollar Piper-Heidseick champagne, Can I drive you home, blue eyes? --I live in Philadelphia. --Ah, well, if I beat up your boyfriend, And I take away his gun, And I sit down beside you, And I buy a thirty-five-dollar bottle of Piper-Heidseick champagne, And I drive you to Philadelphia, Can I walk you to the door, blue eyes? --There's a big moat around my house, And it's full of crocodiles and alligators, And there's a terrible undertow. --Ah, well, if I beat up your boyfriend, And I take away his gun,, And I sit down beside you, And I buy a thirty-five-dollar bottle of Piper-Heidseick champagne, And I drive you to Philadelphia, And I swim across the moat, And I avoid the crocodiles and the alligators, And I don't get sunk by the undertow, Will you ask me to come in, blue eyes? --Well, you see, it's very late, And my mother's probably waiting up for me, And I think she washed the floor, And it's covered with newspapers, And besides, we got this big dog that whenever a stranger comes in, he starts to bark and bite you, And my father's worried about paying off the mortgage on the house, Which will cost five thousand three hundred twenty-two dollars, And it's very late, And I've got to wash my hair, And I have to get up very early for... --You don't...

Subject: Lyr Add: I'LL BE YOUR SAN ANTONE ROSE From: Jim Dixon Date: 28 Jan 18 - 03:41 PM David C. Carter mentioned this on 9-May-2011: I'LL BE YOUR SAN ANTONE ROSE Written by Susanna Clark As recorded by Emmylou Harris on "Luxury Liner" (1977) If they'll play another love song, If that Miller High Life sign stays dim, And if you'll keep my glass full of whiskey, I'll whisper words I wish I'd said to him. Just ask me to dance all the slow ones. Hold me close and take me 'cross the floor. I'll gently lay my head on your shoulder, And pretend this never happened before. CHORUS: I don't want to hear a sad story. We both already know how it goes; But if tonight you'll be my tall dark stranger, I'll be your San Antone Rose. Well, I wish I could tell you I love you, And I wish that he weren't always on my mind. If wishes were fast trains to Texas, Oh, I'd ride and I'd ride; how I'd ride! CHORUS [Also recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker and Carole King on Walker's album "Too Old to Change" (1979). They make it into a conversation duet by changing some of the pronouns, e.g. "I'll keep your glass full of whiskey" and "I'll be your tall dark stranger".] |

Subject: RE: 'Conversation' songs From: GUEST,henryp Date: 31 Jan 18 - 06:31 AM GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME Peter Sellers & Sophia Loren Her: Oh doctor, I'm in trouble. Him: Well, goodness gracious me. Her: For every time a certain man Is standing next to me. Him: Mmm? Her: A flush comes to my face And my pulse begins to race, It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom, Him: Oh! Her: Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom Him: Well, goodness gracious me. The song was conceived and instigated by George Martin, who was the producer at that time of Peter Sellers's comedy recordings. Martin commissioned David Lee and Herbert Kretzmer to write the song. Martin himself produced the recording. Martin envisaged the song as a recording to be incorporated in the soundtrack of the film The Millionairess which was being filmed at that time starring Sellers and Loren. However, the film's producers did not share his enthusiasm for including the song in the film's soundtrack and did not utilize it. The studio was however happy to see the song released as a stand-alone single to promote the film. In becoming a chart hit it succeeded in publicizing the film. |

Every night would kiss and play, Mac. If with me you’d fondly stray Polly. Over the hills, and far away. |
