02 Jan 00 - 12:30 AM (#156875) Subject: Does anyone remember this album? From: Ju4dy In the mid sixties, not sure when, '66?, my friends and I had an album by an artist named Tim (I think) something. Tim Buckley? Tim Hardin? I don't know. I don't think so. Three songs on that album that I remember very well, remember most of the words and chords, are: The Cat Came Back, Joey, and Levee. Levee has a chorus that goes "I don't know why I built me that levee, levee don't do me no good..." Joey starts out with "Like a windblown woman, the wind blows through the bunkhouse...like windblown woman, smellin fo where she's been...smellin of Oregon cherries or maybe Texas avacados, or maybe Arizona sugarbeets...the wind blows in and speaks to me, she sings 'Joey, Joey, Joey Joe, you been too long in one place, and it's time to go, time to go..." and so on. The Cat Came Back of course starts out with "Old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own, he had an old yellow cat that just would not leave its home, tried and he tried to give that cat away, but the cat came back the very next day..." and so on. I would like to find get this album now, but my searches haven't led me there so far., since I don't know the artist's name, or the album title. Searches by the song titles haven't panned out. Thanks. |

From: GUEST,Agentgary7 I have no idea about "The Cat Came Back" or "Levee", but "Joey" is a song, music and lyrics by Frank Loesser from his Broadway musical, "The Most Happy Fella" (Broadway premiere in 1956). The original lyrics: Like a perfumed woman, The wind blows in the bunkhouse. Like a perfumed woman, Smellin' of where she's been Smellin' of Oregon cherries Or maybe Texas avocadoes Or maybe Arizona sugarbeets The wind blows in And she sings to me 'Cause I'm one of her ramblin' kin She sings, "Joey, Joey, Joey", etc. There were a lot of great songs in that show. You should be able to find "The Most Happy Fella" on amazon.com |

25 Apr 19 - 03:04 AM (#3989132) Subject: RE: Help: Tim Morgon at the Prison of Socrates (album) From: GUEST LOL, i am the original poster. just now i was trying to play Joey, it's been years but i never forgot the chords before, i remember most of them but it was an interesting wandering progression and most of the chords is not enough, so i tried googling tne song and the artist who's name i remembered now and the name of the album, which i once had which is Live At the Prison of Socrates, Tim Morgan, i didn't know it was spelled Morgon, that was a great album. anyway, just wanted to play and sing that song just now, i can pretty much remember tbe words but not all the chords. You never know with the internet what might be available. i googled Tim Morgan prison of socrates Joey chords and it took me to this page, the link showed my old user name and some of what i wrote, kind of funny, 10 years ago. thanks for all the replies. |
