Subject: Tom Paxton song From: kendall Date: 19 Nov 99 - 07:36 PM can someone help with finding the lyrics to a Tom Paxton song? Dont know the name, but, some of the lyrics are: thanks for the company, thanks for the harmony, I'm here to say the honor was all mine.. |
Subject: ADD: The Honor of Your Company (Paxton) From: raredance Date: 20 Nov 99 - 12:06 AM The song is "The Honor of Your Company". It is on Tom's "Live For The Record" CD and I think it is also on his "Wearing The Time" CD, but the latter is in my offic so I can't verify it. The melody and lyrics were also published in Sing Out! 2-3 years ago. THE HONOR OF YOUR COMPANY words & music by Tom Paxton
When I find myself with a song to write,
Chorus:
Back when times were tough and the news was bad, Chorus
Decade after decade, year by hear, Chorus

Subject: RE: Help: Tom Paxton song From: kendall Date: 20 Nov 99 - 09:05 AM Thanks guys..I have that tape somewhere but, cant find it. This is one of the songs that tears me up,but I'm going to try to sing it anyway. It took me ten years to get to where I could do The Band Played Waltzing Matilda in public. |

I've done the same, but for different reasons. I learned a song of Michael Smith's called "This Here Mandolin" about 20 years ago, but never sang it in public, 'cause I just "hadn't got it" yet. One day a few months ago, it popped out on stage..and felt good. Whatever the reason..it was "ready". Rick |

Subject: RE: Help: Tom Paxton song From: kendall Date: 20 Nov 99 - 03:31 PM I kid you not, I've seen grown men cry unashamed when I sang The Band played Waltzing Matilda.In fact I did that once at a bluegrass festival in an open field, and you could hear a pin drop. Having spent much time at sea, I find that songs like Wreck of the Jeannie C. rips me apart too. |
