Subject: ADD: Belle Starr (Emmylou Harris) From: Joe Offer Date: 07 Nov 23 - 03:24 AM Hey, there's another song titled "Belle Starr." BELLE STARR (Emmylou Harris) My mamma and my daddy Told me that love is a two-way street But lately baby, you've been finding New ways of dragging your feet So come on, make your best shot You don't have to take the blame I'll be your Belle Starr You can be my Jesse James There's lonely people everywhere From Abilene to Arkansas The way they run for cover You'd think love was against the law Well I don't need a pistol, baby You won't have to rob a train You can be my Belle Starr And I can be your Jesse James I know you've done some hard time Baby, and you've got your doubts When you feel surrounded And it's looking like there's no way out I'll come riding to your rescue All you gotta do is call my name I'll be your Belle Starr You can be my Jesse James It don't take a genius, baby There ain't no big mystery You can't play it safe And still go down in history So saddle up the horses 'Cause we're headed for the hall of fame I'll be your Belle Starr You can be my Jesse James I'll be your Belle Starr You can be my Jesse James Source: LyricFind (corrected by Joe Offer) Songwriters: Emmylou Harris Belle Starr lyrics © Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.

Subject: RE: Origins: Belle Starr (Woody Guthrie) From: Joe Offer Date: 07 Nov 23 - 04:30 PM Hi, Thompson - I didn't really see that as "celebrating" Quantrill. I thought Woody did a pretty good job of reporting the essence of each of Belle Starr's lovers in a single verse. Some were good, and some not. Quantrill was not. |
