31 May 97 - 12:21 PM (#5979) Subject: Daughters (fairly modern folk song) From: sos@oz.plymouth.edu Since Benjamin Hollister was kind enough to come through for me with the words to my last request, I thought I'd try again. About 10-11 years ago, I had a girlfriend who played me a folk song by a man whose name I forget. I don't think the song was that old at the time, and I think it was just called "Daughters." The folksinger may have been a New England singer, but I'm not sure on that. He wrote it himself, though. The song is about a poor struggling folk singer who is frustrated by his inability to make money, but every time he gets down, his daughters lift his spirits. The only lines I remember are something like, "If I could get just a little ahead, I think I'd invest in some more daughters." and about one young daughter talked about the moon. Ring any bells? |

I don't know all the lyrics, or who sang/wrote it, or even the title. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Cedar |
