Danged if that old song didn't come into my mind this morning while I was playing a little bottleneck in open G tuning and I found myself playin' that old song and hearing just how cool it sounds with a slide. Problem is that I don't remember the words. I do remember:

"And like that Northwset Mountie
You know I'll bring her in somme day..."

Anyone have the rest of the words?

From Leo's Lyrics:

Searchin'
The Coasters


Well now if I have to swim a river, you know I will,
And if I have to climb a mountain you know I will.
And if she's hiding up on a blueberry hill,
I'm gonna find her, child, you know I will.
Cause I've been searching, oh yeah, searching,
My goodness, searching every which a-way. Yeah. Yeah.
But I'm like the Northwest Mountie,
You know I'll bring her in some day. Gonna find her.
Well Sherlock Holmes, Sam Spade got nothing, child, on me.
Sergeant Friday, charlie Chan, and Boston Blackie.
No matter where she's hiding, she's gonna hear me
Cause I'm gonna walk right down that street,
Like Bulldog Drummond because I've been searching,
Oh Lord, searching, mm child, searching every which a-way. Yeah. Yeah.
You know I'll bring her in some day. Gonna find her.

What's that about disturbed minds runing in the same circles, Bobert?
Many years at a Folk-Legacy Festival in Hartford, I was in a workshop titled "Favorite Songs." It didn't say Favorite FOLK Songs, so I stepped in to Searchin' (which I still do) and Rock Creek was in the workshop with me, and immediately jumped in on the background vocals.

Not bad for a bunch a white boys.

Dang!
