Subject: Same Tune? From: SINSULL Date: 27 Apr 10 - 10:38 AM I had a tune going through my head driving me crazy until I realized it was Utah Phillip's Kid's Liberation Song. But isn't that the same tune as The Ship's Cook/The black Cook? THE BLACK COOK If you'll listen awhile, I will sing you a ditty Concerning a doctor who lived in Carrtown, By seamen so bold he was fairly outwitted And fifty gold guineas was forced to pay down These jolly jack tars and their comrades, well grogged, Their money all spent and their credit far gone; From Fairport's bright town to the Keys they had wandered And bound to obtain some money for fun. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KID'S LIBERATION SONG (Bruce Phillips) Look what I found out here in the back yard It's fuzzy and looks like it's going somewhere When I open my hand up to ask you my question You thump me and holler, "Don't bring that in here!" Well I had a question I wanted to ask you And I had some thoughts that I wanted to share But you make me feel like I don't know nothing And you make me wonder if you even care |

Subject: RE: Same Tune? From: Dan Schatz Date: 27 Apr 10 - 12:42 PM Utah used that tune a lot as sort of a placeholder, but Kid's Lib is the only one I know of that he was fully satisfied it worked with. I think it was the Hank Snow influence. Dan |
