02 Jul 97 - 11:39 AM (#7932) Subject: Lyrics Reqest for Another Van Ronk classic From: David Martin Does anybody have the lyrics to "That'll Never Happen Again". I think that's the title, if not, anyway, it's the refrain. A funny, goodtime rag-type song in G, but as a recording I believe it's out of print.

02 Jul 97 - 01:15 PM (#7948) Subject: RE: Lyrics for Another Van Ronk classic From: rechal@earthlink.net I have the recording on a Magpie record. If I'm not mistaken, the original was written by Blind Blake -- you might try using that as a search keyword. In the meantime, I'll try to see what lyrics I can remember, and will post them later today.
I've also heard this performed by Roy Bookbinder. |

15 Jul 97 - 05:37 PM (#8744) Subject: Lyr Add: THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN NO MORE (Blake) From: Earl I learned it from a Blind Blake record. These are the words I use: I met a girl at the cabaret Pretty papa won't you come my way Her old man knew what I was all about Waiting back at home just to throw me out He broke my nose and he split my chin Don't you come around here again He chased me through the kitchen and out the door Hit me with a chair till my head got sore That'll never happen no more That'll never happen no more That'll never happen no more That'll never happen no more Was in Chicago winter and fall I had to wear my overalls I was poor but it wasn't my fault I'm used to eating chicken now I'm eating salt I met a girl with a big mink fur Big fat fool me, I followed her She pulled a gun out and she took all my dough I didn't eat my heart out and I didn't get sore Cause that'll never happen no more That'll never happen no more That'll never happen no more That'll never happen no more That'll never happen to me no more |

20 May 98 - 06:16 AM (#28822) Subject: Lyr Add: THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN NO MORE (Van Ronk)) From: DWDitty Van Ronk's version, at least one of them: I met a gal in a cabaret She said Papa are you goin my way I was mad to know what it was all about She took me home just to put me out She broke my nose and she split my chin Don't let me catch you round here again Whipping through the kitchen and out through the door She hit me with a chair til my head got sore That'll never happen no more, That'll never happen no more Live in Chicago in the winter and fall Cause me to wear my overalls I got drunk, and it was my fault I was drinking tequila and leaving the salt I met a girl in a big mink coat Fancy car and a forty foot boat She pulled out a gun and she took my dough But I didn't holler and I didn't get sore That'll never happen... I went to a party the other night Got to drinking I was feeling alright I lit up a reefer, I was drinking some gin Just sitting back waiting for some fun to begin A prettly little gal comes up to me Says come on Daddy let's make whoopee I woke up in an empty bed My pockets was empty, had a pain in my head But that'll never happen... |

25 Nov 08 - 02:07 PM (#2501411) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: That'll Never Happen No More (Van Ron From: 12-stringer What's a "decrease sequence"? Do you mean the stoptime (is that the word for it?) bit in G - G7 - C - Eb7 (or C#0) - then going back to regular rhythm for G - E7- A7 - D7- G and back into the verse? |

25 Nov 08 - 03:21 PM (#2501455) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: That'll Never Happen No More (Van Ronk) From: TJO Mike, Playing in G, I do G G7 C Eb for the decreasing sequence. Play the C as 310233 ( high string to low) and just slide up 3 frets and you'll have the Eb. You can skip or damp the bass string if you need. Alternatives to the Eb are Cm (X1013X) and C#dim (3232xx) (I think.) I forget what van Ronk plays. So the song is G D7 Met a girl.. G D7 Said... G D7 A7 D7 I never.. Again for second half of verse. Then G E7 A7 D7 That'll... G E7 A7 D7 G G7 C Eb The descending part Hmm Hmm.. G E7 A7 D7 Good luck. Play with it some. It's a blues, after all. (Damn ggod one too) T.J. |

It was sensible, accurate, and sympathetic. And very greatly appreciated. I should keep you in a closet to be be taken out when needed. Rather often, as things stand! Thanks once again.
