23 Mar 00 - 07:55 PM (#200272) Subject: Second-hand Man From: Troll I'm loking for the lyrics to a song called "Second-hand Man". It was recorded in the mid-60's by The Back Porch Majority. All I can remember is the refrain..."Love me any way you can. Look me over,here I am. Just remember I'm a second-hand man." Thanks in advance for any help on this one. troll |

The bad news is, I couldn't find the lyrics but the good news is, I did find a site where you can buy the single "Second Hand Man"/"Sleeper Wakes Up" on Epic for $8.00--but they're gonna charge you another 5 bananas for shipping. There are also sites that list all the albums if you want me to go get that link for you. Here's the link for the single and you'll have to scroll down when you get there-- Mouse here Hope that helps. |

Denver, Colorado, city in the sky ... etc... Just a little history on the artist for ya. He's gone now. Thanks for the Banjo lessons, Michael! I hope there's music wherever you are. deepblue@circleofsouls.com |

04 Apr 15 - 06:08 PM (#3699670) Subject: Lyr Add: SECOND HANDED MAN (Ethel Waters) From: Jim Dixon I was looking for something that might have been an antecedent to the above song. I found this, which may be unrelated, but it's a good song anyway, and worth having here: SECOND HANDED MAN (Easton and Waters) As recorded by Ethel Waters, Columbia 1871-D, 1929. INTRO: It's a long, long story; do you want to hear it? If you don't, I'll tell it anyhow. I've got a man trained to my hand, So I'm all through hunting now. What I'm telling you is private, And it should be kept that way. He ain't new, 'cause I'm number two, So that's why I'm going to say: 1. He's been used, though not abused, And I choose not to lose That second-handed man of mine. Slightly worn, kind o' torn, But I've sworn not to loan That second-handed man of mine. Talkin' about promotion, he's made the grade, and how! He used to be my extra man, but he's booked solid now. All content, for me was meant, Faith-revealed and heaven-sent, That second-handed man of mine! 2. Why, he's got "it," I'll admit, And I won't share a single bit Of that second-handed man of mine. Genuine, super-fine, Void of note and oh so kind, That second-handed man of mine! His touch is just like magic when you're sad and all forlorn. One kiss from his lovin' lips and all your mis'ry's gone. Kind o' bold, likes to scold, He'll convert your very soul, That second-handed man of mine. 3. He's just like a pipe, good and ripe, Yes, in age and just the type, That second-handed man of mine. Ain't no beaut, yet kind o' cute, Plays music, not a flute, That second-handed man of mine! Why, he is all the flavors; there ain't none after him. I used to say the selfsame thing when I first met Sunny Jim. Tight like that, not too fat, Just like Babe Ruth at a bat, That second-handed man of mine! |

25 May 19 - 12:05 AM (#3993812) Subject: Lyr Add: SECOND-HAND MAN (Back Porch Majority) From: Jim Dixon Here's the complete song, my transcription from Spotify: SECOND-HAND MAN As recorded by The Back Porch Majority on "The Willy Nilly Wonder of Illusion" (1967) Well, you can hold my hand, But understand: It's been held before; But I'm not like you, 'Cause, honey, you're brand-new, But me, well, I've been around just a little bit more. Well, you can look into my eyes, But you really gotta realize They've been looked in before. Yeah, well, you can love me, yes, you can. Take me anytime; here I am. Just remember: I'm a second-hand man. Well, a bargain like me won't come your way again. I'm just like this year's model, just a little bit broken in. Well, you can whisper in my ear, But remember, dear, It's been whispered in before. Oh, but I'm not, no, I'm not like you, 'Cause, honey, you're brand-new, But me, well, I've been around just a little bit more. Well, you can take my heart. Remember from the start That it's been taken before. (Come on, let's rock it on home now!) Oh, you can love me, yes, you can. Take me anytime; here I am. Oh, just remember: I'm a second-hand— Come on, baby, take a chance on me!— Just remember: I'm a second-hand— With a thirty-day guarantee!— Just remember: I'm a second-hand man. |
