Tanya Tucker - Delta Dawn

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby"
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
And promised her he'd take her for his bride

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky

Sammy Davis Jnr "Mr Bojangles"

I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you
In worn out shoes
Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
The old soft shoe

He jumped so high
He jumped so high
Then he'd lightly touched down

Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Dance

I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was
Down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
As he spoke right out

He talked of life
He talked of life
He lightly slapped his leg instead

He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick
Across the cell
He grabbed his pants for a better stance
He jumped so high
He clicked his heels

He let go a laugh
He let go a laugh
Shook back his clothes all around

Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Dance

We danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
Throughout the south
We spoke in tears of fifteen years
How his dog and him
They travelled about

His dog up and died
He up and died
After twenty years he still grieves

They said I dance now at every chance and honky tonks
For drinks and tips
But most the time I spend behind these county bars
Cause I drinks a bit

He shook his head and as he shook his head
I heard someone ask please

Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Dance

Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles

“IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR”

“I used to produce video’s for Bands”

I was just a “for hire” guy for studios in Cleveland and Akron. Lots of demos. Almost all, well really all,,,, failures. I often worked with the late Tom King, who wrote “Time Won’t Let Me” for his band The Outsiders. Because of that hit, record companies would always listen to the stuff he brought in. One of my songs got as far as Randy Travis’s living room. His guitar player called to ask; “Just what the heck chords are you playing?” But,,,, it didn’t make the cut,,,,, Too bad! He could have used the profits to pay his bail!

Wooohooo end of thread.If we missed you ((((Hugs))))Thanks to all the special posters who were helping.Favorite song of the thread.”Ode to Billy Joe”

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

You seem to understand this quite well. I was just a hired hand, in virtually all sessions. I did what the producer or artist wanted. Seldom was my own real creativity involved. They wanted what they wanted, and they paid for what they wanted. Only once, in all those sessions, was I asked to do a second take. I wish Tommy Sche’ would post more of the songs I played on, because he was the only one who really gave me a free hand.

[fatima]

Well I did work with a lot of people.I had no interest in it but the kids liked it so I did it.I do know if you want to be creative you have to form your own company.We have something that will begin airing on TV tom.-non-proft.Nobody tells me what to do cause I'm the boss and that's more fun.If people like it we will begin creating our own songs-spiritual for kids.

As I was waking up this morning in bed, I thought, “how could I have not remembered ‘America’ by Simon and Garfunkle.” I was surprised this even came to mind. I played it on the piano as a teen-ager and it was one of my favorites.

“And we walked off to look for America....”

It seems so appropriate for where we are.

[Domestic Church]

Yeah, I was naughty - life under pressure, needed some venting. That song is a great release when you feel life’s applecart is tipping over. Real Vengeance is for God.
