Subject: RE: stan rogers From: Will Date: 16 Feb 97 - 10:01 PM I think that the song book, "Stan Rogers, Songs From Fogarty's Cove" has the song. You might get lucky and find it at a library. |
Subject: RE: stan rogers From: ron k Date: 19 Feb 97 - 09:20 PM There is a good website of Stan Rogers songs. Check out http://log.on.ca/summerfolk/ffw.html I think you can find something there.

Subject: Lyr Add: THE IDIOT (Stan Rogers) From: Bo Vandenberg Date: 22 Feb 97 - 02:08 AM There really is no replacement for the book. I recommend "Songs From Fogarty's Cove" or whatever they replace it with as I understand they are not re-issuing it. Anyway here are the words to Idiot, enjoy.
THE IDIOT
I often take these night shift walks when the foreman's not around
I remember back six years ago, this Western life I chose,
chrs: I bid farewell to the eastern town I never more will see
So come all you fine young fellows who've been beaten to the ground.
chrs: So bid farewell to the Eastern town you never more will see.

Subject: Thread bump From: JesseW Date: 13 Jun 08 - 11:54 PM Just felt like boping this one up to the top again. Good 'ol song. I heard it first from a friend of mine; a fellow contra dancer -- wonder where she is now? Hm. I wonder what parodies have been written of this one... (P.S. I came across by simply picking random threads, using the following little JS bookmarklet: javascript:null((function(){window.location.href="http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid="+Math.floor(Math.random()*100000)})()) Feel free to use it yourself (or have someone add a "random thread" feature to the software? ) |
