It was easier to find than I thought. It is on their Lovin Sound Album, MGM 4388. Actually, it is credited to just I. Tyson. I am taping it from the LP for easier transcribing. I will be back with it later this evening. |

16 Apr 99 - 10:46 PM (#71474) Subject: Lyr Add: MR SPOONS (Ian Tyson) From: Dale Rose From the LP notes by John Court: "They're partners in life as well as in music, which must have its difficult moments like the prospect of having to sing with someone you were maybe not speaking to. But they certainly have made that work, what with that thing rolling around on the rug, young Clayton Dawson, herein and hereafter referred to as 'Mr. Spoons.' " Mr. Spoons Ian Tyson, recorded on Lovin' Sound, MGM 4388, 1967.
Mr. Spoons, you make me laugh in the morning
Spring schemes die, I let them pass me by without knowing Sylvia joins Ian on the last three lines of each stanza. |

17 Apr 99 - 12:01 AM (#71490) Subject: RE: mister spoons-Ian and Sylvia From: Dale Rose Yes, I saw his interlog page which I found some time ago through his mother's Quartette page. It doesn't mention Mr. Spoons. (must have lost that nickname a while back!!)
The Internet Cowboy Page is a great jumping off place for Ian Tyson, Sylvia Tyson, Quartette, Wilf Carter, Cindy Church, and a great many things Western. Here is the introductory message on the site: This site is devoted to the Western lifestyle that is Southern Alberta. From the Cowboys, to the Rodeo, to the Ranchers, to the Oilmen, to Western Music and Western Hospitality. I hope you enjoy your ride through the West. |

My guitar teacher and I figured the chord chart out (mostly him, by the way) this week: Intro: C Em Dm G Verse 1: C Cm7 C7 Dm G / C Cm7 C7 F G / C Cm7 C7 G / C Em Dm G / Em Am Em Am / Dm A Bridge: D F#m Em A Verse 2: D Dm7 D7 Em A / D Dm7 D7 G A / D Dm7 D7 Em A / D F#m Em A / F#m Bm F#m Bm / Em A Outro: D F#m Em A D This is the version on Lovin' Sound. I have not yet checked it against the version on Full Circle. |
