Subject: req lyrics: Desert Pete by the Kingston Trio From: dmorris@digitalexp.com Date: 30 Jan 97 - 11:16 PM I'm trying to find the words to this song and to a poem/ballad about an outlaw named Ringo who spares a sherif's life before going to face a posse that kills him. Click here for Ringo |

Subject: RE: req lyrics: Desert Pete by the Kingston Trio From: tony Date: 01 Feb 97 - 03:48 PM Well how about sharing them with the rest of us? I've been hoping someone would answer your request. |
Subject: RE: req lyrics: Desert Pete by the Kingston Trio From: Rodney Rawlings Date: 01 Feb 97 - 10:52 PM The song isn't about that at all, but about someone who comes upon an old well whose pump needs to be primed. |
Subject: RE: req lyrics: Desert Pete by the Kingston Trio From: Rodney Rawlings Date: 01 Feb 97 - 10:56 PM I do know some of the chorus: You've got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe; you've got to give of yourself 'fore you're worthy to recieve. Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet! But leave the bottle full for others. Thank you kindly--Desert Pete |
Subject: RE: req lyrics: Desert Pete by the Kingston Trio From: Rodney Rawlings Date: 01 Feb 97 - 10:59 PM I've got to add here that this is a wonderful song and record, and I don't as a rule like folk music (sorry, readers! I know this forum is for folkies!). This song has the honor of being commented upon in my HIGHLY selective home page on music theory (http://www.druid.com/~rodney/). |
Subject: RE: req lyrics: Desert Pete by the Kingston Trio From: Rodney Rawlings Date: 01 Feb 97 - 11:03 PM I've just realized you were asking about two songs. Sorry! BTW, I do know how to spell "receive"! |
Subject: Lyr? "desert pete" From: Pete - pete@ada.com Date: 21 Jul 97 - 02:58 PM there's an old kingston trio song called the ballad of desert pete. i've been trying to find the words for some time, and have been unsuccessful. i did find a very interesting essay / sermon that refers to the origin of the song, that i found at http://www.social.tsukuba.ac.jp/ ~yamane/credo/tcac/950528.html. if anyone can't find that site, email me and i'll email or fax you a copy. many thanks!! |
Subject: RE: Lyr? From: dick greenhaus Date: 21 Jul 97 - 03:50 PM Hi- Set the filter on this page to Desert and the date to 365 days. It's not in the database yet, but it will be. |
Subject: RE: Lyr? From: Bill in Alabama Date: 21 Jul 97 - 04:36 PM Desert Pete was written, I believe by Billy Edd Wheeler. I don't remember who published it. |
Subject: Desert Pete From: ewills@melaleuca.com Date: 20 Nov 98 - 05:00 PM I need the lyrics to the song "Desert Pete" by the Kingston Trio. Thanks in advance. Please e-mail the lyrics to ewills@melaleuca.com |
Subject: RE: Desert Pete From: DonMeixner Date: 20 Nov 98 - 10:22 PM I believe that Desert Pete is a Billy Edd Wheeler tune. The same guy who brought us "Ode to The Little Brown Shack" and the stunning " Coming of The Roads" Is Billy Edd still with us and if so is he still writing? Don |
Subject: Lyr Add: DESERT PETE (Billy Edd Wheeler) From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 20 Nov 98 - 10:26 PM Dear Ewills, I found these lyrics at Lyric World. A good site for "Top 40" lyrics. You can reach them at http://www.summer.com.br/~pfilho/html/top40/index.html
DESERT PETE
I was travelin' west of Buckskin on my way to a cattle run
I took it to be a mirage at first; it'll fool a thirsty man; |
Subject: RE: Desert Pete From: Bill in Alabama Date: 23 Nov 98 - 05:48 AM I worked with Billy Edd awhile back (two years ago), and he was in fine fettle; spent most of his time, he said, at his theater in West Virginia. He's still writing songs. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Desert Pete' and 'Ringo' From: kendall Date: 30 Mar 03 - 03:14 PM I believe the Record Lady has Desert Pete among her other gems. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Desert Pete' and 'Ringo' From: Stewie Date: 30 Mar 03 - 06:11 PM It should perhaps be mentioned that 'Desert Pete' came from the pen of Billy Edd Wheeler. --Stewie. |
