27 Aug 98 - 12:40 PM (#36123) Subject: Saint of San Joaquin From: kiva1 I'm trying to find information and lyrics to a folk song I remember from the early sixties. I remember it from around 1963 or so, and connect it with one of the Kingston Trio but that might not be right. It contains the lyric thread: "and I have not been known as the Saint of San Joaquin..." and also "July, you're a woman, more than anyone I've ever known..." Any help would be appreciated. |

27 Aug 98 - 01:55 PM (#36133) Subject: Lyr Add: JULY YOU'RE A WOMAN (John Stewart) From: Joe Offer Hi, Kiva - the song is "July, You're a Woman," by John Stewart. I don't know if he recorded it with the Kingston Trio, but it has been available on various collections as a solo recording. I found the lyrics at a John Stewart Web page - click here. -Joe Offer- JULY, YOU'RE A WOMAN by John Stewart I can't hold it on the road Where you're sitting right beside me And I'm drunk out of my mind Merely from the fact that you are here. And I have not been known As the Saint of San Joaquin And I'd just a soon right now Pull on over to the side of the road And show you what it means La da da da da da da La da da da da da da July, you a woman, more than anyone I've ever known. Yeah I can't hold my eyes On the white line out before me When your hand is on my collar And you're talking in by ear. Oh, and I have been around With a gypsy girl named Shannon Daughter of the devil It is strange that I should mention that to you 'Cause I haven't thought of her in years. La da da da da da da La da da da da da da July, you a woman, more than anyone I've ever known. Oh, I can't stand this - I just checked CDNow to see if the song is available on CD. Yes, it is - on recordings by Robert Goulet and Pat Boone. There are also three John Stewart CD's that have this song. |

And I have not been known As the Saint of San Joaquin And I'd just a soon right now Pull on over to the side of the road And show you what I mean (not "And the Saint...) Anyone? C |

26 Mar 23 - 12:40 AM (#4168473) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: July You're a Woman (John Stewart) From: GUEST,D. Kingsley Hahn "July, You're A Woman" first appeared on the John Stewart & Buffy Ford album "Signals Through The Glass", released in 1968 on the Capitol label. "The Boxer" by Simon & Garfunkel was released as a single the following year on the Columbia label, and then included on the Columbia LP "Bridge Over Troubled Waters." John Stewart had previously described much of "Signals Through The Glass" as being largely a concept album, many of the songs being derived from the paintings of Andrew Wyeth and Jamie Wyeth. For instance, the song "Nebraska Widow" is Stewart's interpretation of Andrew Wyeth's painting "Christina's World,"while the song "Draft Age" is based upon Jamie Wyeth's similarly entitled painting. And I have no idea what painting (if any!) inspired "July, You're A Woman." |
