Tune Req: My Father Once Said to Me

Nathan has to sing a song about a pact with the devil. Does anyone know the tune to this song???

Odd. The alpha title index lists it, but it will not come up there, or with supersearch or with forum search. The lyrics are here, but I didn't find a sound file. Any help, here? (I haven't looked in MC Midis, but I will)

Looked in Midis, not there. How about using "Devil Went Down to Georgia" instead? (grin)

ahhhhaaahh, you may be right! I was thinking the Charlie Daniels "monologue"......it has a fiddle tune, sort of, but the vocal is mostly "talkin' blues" style. Surely you know what I am talking about?

yes, I looked at that song on cowpie for Nathan but I thought the IRA song would thrill his english teacher. She likes it and wants him to sing it as a part of a unit on Faust! So he is singing it freestyle....

A brilliant set of lyrics, but one that I have never heard before. Be sure to bring him to session of Friday night. The piece would be a hit.
