The Seekers: “I’ll Never Find Another You”
YES!! Has to be one of the best songs ever. Certainly one of the best love songs! Just mesmerizing lyrics, melody and their famous harmonies. Sometimes I’ll listen to it five or six times in a row while I’m out hiking.
I sure pity kids growing up with today’s drek of “music.” They have no clue. The 60s was an era of such wonderful experimentation in all musical directions and genres.
Sending out prayers for Arrowhead1952 as he recovers from his horrible fall.

I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyes
When you put me on the Wolverine
Up to Annandale
It was still September
When your daddy was quite surprised
To find you with the working girls
In the county jail
I was smoking with the boys upstairs
When I heard about the whole affair
I said oh no
William and Mary won’t do
[Chorus:]
Well I did not think the girl
Could be so cruel
And I’m never going back
To my old school
Oleanders growing outside her door
Soon they’re gonna be in bloom
Up in Annandale
I can’t stand her
Doing what she did before
Living like a gypsy queen
In a fairy tale
Well I hear the whistle but I can’t go
I’m gonna take her down to Mexico
She said oh no
Guadalajara won’t do
[Chorus]
California tumbles into the sea
That’ll be the day I go
Back to Annandale
Tried to warn you
About Chino and Daddy Gee
But I can’t seem to get to you
Through the U.S. Mail
Well I hear the whistle but I can’t go
I’m gonna take her down to Mexico
She said oh no
Guadalajara won’t do
[Chorus]
Said to be Rydell’s own favorite of his songs, “I’ll Never Dance Again.”
You got it!
Great one!
Another good one!
