Subject: mockinbird From: GUEST,stephanie Date: 06 Apr 01 - 02:25 PM I'm an English teacher trying to teach a short story titled "Blues Aint No Mockin Bird" by Toni Cade Bambara. My book tells me that the title comes from an old Mississippi blues song, but I can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions? |

Subject: RE: mockinbird From: katlaughing Date: 06 Apr 01 - 02:54 PM Hi, Stephanie, welcome to the Mudcat. You've come tot he right place, if anyone can find the lyrics, some Mudcatter will. In a quick search on GOOGLE, third choice down, I found some site apparently connected to Holt Rinehart which lists the song, but I was unable to find the lyrics. Unless you choose the TEXT version, it is in PDF format, and I didn't have time to go through all of that to really search, so you might give it a go. In the meantime, I will keep an eye out and I am sure others will contribute, too. Good luck! katlaughing aka kat |

Subject: RE: mockinbird From: GUEST,stephanie Date: 06 Apr 01 - 03:04 PM Thanks, Kat. I am using the Holt Reinhart series. There is nothing in the book about the lyrics to the song. My husband and I are big blues fans, so I wanted to share the lyrics along with other blues greats with my students. I'll keep looking. |

Subject: RE: mockinbird--to guest#1 From: GUEST,stephanie Date: 06 Apr 01 - 04:34 PM I would like the words/verses/lyrics to give to my students. Personally, I would also like to know the tune/melody. Thanks. |

Subject: RE: mockinbird From: Murray MacLeod Date: 06 Apr 01 - 06:22 PM Presumably this is a totally different song to the "Mockingbird " that James Taylor and Carly Simon did? Murray |

Subject: RE: mockinbird From: Irish sergeant Date: 07 Apr 01 - 04:25 PM Stephanie: I assume it is not "Listen to the Mockingbird" If, however, it is go to www. geocities.com/the12thus/ and click on the songbook entry. You will find a copy of those lyrics there. I compiles a civil War song book and it is featured there. Kindest reguards, NEil |
