Well, RIP VAN GENE is back!


FLESH AND BLOOD
Words and music by Johnny Cash
As recorded by Johnny Cash on "I Walk the Line" (original soundtrack album, 1970)

[1] Beside a singin' [4] mountain stream [1] where the willow grew,
Where the [4] silver leaf of [1] maple sparkled [2] in the morning [5] dew,
I [1] braided twigs of [4] willow, made a [1] string of buckeye beads,
But [4] flesh and blood needs [1] flesh and blood and [4] you're the one I [1] need.
[4] Flesh and blood needs [1] flesh and blood and [4] you're the one I [1] need.

I leaned against the bark of birch and I breathed the honeydew.
I saw a northbound flock of geese against a sky of baby blue.
Beside the lily pads, I carved a whistle from a reed.
Mother Nature's quite a lady, but you're the one I need.
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need.

A cardinal sang just for me and I thanked him for the song,
Then the sun went slowly down the west and I had to move along.
These were some of the things on which my mind and spirit feed,
But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need.
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need.

[SPOKEN] So when the day was ended, I was still not satisfied,
For I knew ev'rything I touched would wither and would die,
And love is all that will remain and grow from all these seed.
Mother Nature's quite a lady, but you're the one I need.
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need.

Thanks Joe, but that's not the song. The one one I'm looking for was released by Johnny Cash in the early seventies. I think it starts like this. Beside a singing mountain stream where the willows grow, and the silver leaves of maple sparkel with the morning dew.

Newfoundlander, I found this song on Cowpie. I don't know if it's the one you want, but it's certainly an interesting song.
