Well,
here's a little seasonal song for you.
Mr. Grunt sings it on the album... (newly-discovered verses)*
Too much noise in London and there's problems down in Tennessee, Too much noise in London and there's problems down in Tennessee, I'm gonna groove with all the presents, lie me down beneath the Christmas Tree. Its goodbye, baby, fare thee well, I'll see you round some day. I said it's goodbye baby, fare the well, I'll see you round some day. I got a jingle-bellin' mama and she's gonna take me all the way. *These extra lyrics
are from an intermediate version of the song before Fariña
revamped it into a song entitled "One Way Ticket" (which in turn has an
alternate title, "Leavin' California").
We haven't tried it yet with the new lyrics. From the Sing Out! List: We lost Eric von Schmidt: <http://www.westportnow.com/index.php?/v2/comments/16104/> |
