(Oh what a misspent youth I had!) Tim Pinton used to sing this at the Fleet Folk Club in the 1970/80s. It was blues, and I'm sure he told me it was Steve Goodman, but I could be wrong. The chorus went something like: I'm Going to Shoot Me a Milkman with his voice as soft as solk, I'm Going to Shoot Me a Milkman, stole my woman and forgot my milk! |

MILKMAN (John Bryant) Well I got home just yesterday Found this note pinned to my bed It said I've spent your money, friend And I've smoked all your cigarettes Now when I knocked your door was answered by pretty eyes of blue And I must admit I liked the look of it So I took your woman too I thank you friend, this letter said And I got to complement your taste I found your Rye and I drank it dry It was too damned good to waste Now when I knocked I said good morning like milkmen always do And a voice replied Honey come inside So I tried your woman too Well I'm going to shoot me a milkman With his voice as smooth as silk I'm going to shoot me a milkman Took my woman and forgot my milk Now I don't mind if he keeps my wine And my woman don't come back But I'll shoot that bum if my milk don't come I could never take my coffee black Well I'm going to shoot me a milkman With his voice as smooth as silk I'm going to shoot me a milkman Took my woman and forgot my milk |

I'm sure Tim sang a line which said 'gonna slit my woman's throat' but I could be mixing this up with something else he sang (possibly 'Send Me to the Electric Chair') Methinks I could try Keith 'Pix' Calton who might have accompanied him before Tim's muscular dystrophy got too much of a stranglehold. Also, I can't recall whether the 'shoot me a milkman' was sang as a chorus, or only the twice suggested aboyve. Memories, eh? |

He watched his Dad examine a horse by feeling it up and down, running his hands all over the animals muscles and joints. Then the boy asked his Dad why he did that and his Dad said, "I want to buy that horse and I need to find out if it is in good physical condition." Boy says, "Oh, so thats what the milkman was up to the other day, he wants to buy Mom." You had to see this coming. |

No muscular dystrophy stranglehold ,fortunately. Although I do not play guitar anymore I do still work fulltime, the joys of the accountancy profession. The song came from John Bryant, he played at the Fleet Folk Club a few times in the 1970s. Other good songs on his album. Memories? Folk evenings we started at Farnborough Grammar School (in 1967?)great experience. George Frampton was there, probably in short trousers at the time. |
