Subject: Lyr Add: BORN WITH A THORN IN MY SHOE (MacLellan) From: Jim Dixon Date: 10 Dec 09 - 10:02 PM Sandy: maybe you meant to link to the this video at YouTube where John Gracie sings this song. Here's my transcription: BORN WITH A THORN IN MY SHOE Gene MacLellan I was fairly grown when I left my home For the land where the evergreens grow, And deep inside was a voice that kept sayin', "I told you so." The good friends I had were few, And my skies weren't always blue. Some nights I slept in the corn 'Cause I was born with a thorn in my shoe. Although the sun was hot and the handouts I got Were few and far between, Still I wouldn't trade all the mem'ries I've made Or the places I've been, For I loved each field of hay And each dusty mountain way. I loved the dew in the morn, 'Cause I was born with a thorn in my shoe. As the years rolled by and my soul ran dry From my restless wand'ring ways, The older I got, I started thinkin' a lot About the price you pay, But the urge to settle down Never seemed to come around. I guess the good Lord knew That I was born with a thorn in my shoe. I guess the good Lord knew That I was born with a thorn in my shoe. |

Blackwood Music, BMI I was barely grown when I left my home for the land where the evergreens grow, And deep inside was a voice that kept saying, "I told you so." The good friends I had were few, and my skies weren't always blue, Some nights I slept in the corn, 'cause I was born with a thorn in my shoe. Although the sun was hot and the handouts I got were few and far between, Still I wouldn't trade all the memories I've made, all the places I've been, For I love each field of hay, and each dusty mountain way, I love the dew in the morn, 'cause I was born with a thorn in my shoe. As the years rolled by and my soul ran dry from those restless, wandering ways, The older I got I started thinking about the price you pay, But the urge to settle down, never seemed to come around, I guess the good Lord knew that I was born with a thorn in my shoe, I guess the good Lord knew that I was born with a thorn in my shoe. from http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:8c8TQ1X_95QJ:www.clarycroft.ca/Latest/clary-croftq-the-gift-lyrics.html+%22I+was+born+with+a |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: born with a nail in my shoe From: Sandy Mc Lean Date: 09 Dec 09 - 01:45 AM For sure this is a great Gene MacLellan song. Gene wrote the songs that launched Anne Murray's career. (Snowbird and Put Your Hand In The Hand) However when I Google it mostly all that I get is a piece of shit from Em'n'em. However when I dump the garbage the real song appears here: |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: born with a nail in my shoe From: Jim Dixon Date: 23 Aug 05 - 12:54 AM This site is advertising a CD called "East Coast Folk" "performed by Nova Scotia's own John Gracie as a tribute to the late Gene MacLellan." One of the songs is BORN WITH A THORN IN MY SHOE, and it provides a generous excerpt, from which I transcribed this: I was fairly grown when I left my home For the land where the evergreens grow, And deep inside was a voice that kept sayin', "I told you so." The good friends I had were few, And my skies weren't always blue. Some nights I slept in the corn 'Cause I was born with a thorn in my shoe. Although the sun was hot and the handouts I got Were few and far between.... Oddly, there are some other sites that seem to describe the same album under the title "A Gene MacLellan Tribute." |
