Name that Tune

[bowtwi]

How about this one?

When I was a little bitty boy

Just up offa the floor

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Looks like you stumped us again, Bow!

George

[bowtwi]

Say it ain't so, Geo! I just have to try once more to bring this song to the forefront of somebody's mind - if nobody knows it this time tomorrow I'll give up.

When I was a little bitty boy

Just up off-a the floor

We used to go down to Grandma's house

Every month end or so

We had chicken pie and country ham

And homemade butter on the bread

But the best darn thing about Grandma's house

Curiosity got the best of me so I googled.

I had never heard this song before.

I must say, though, after hearing it on youtube, I do agree it's a good tune.

[bulwinkl]

I haven't the faintest idea who or what.

Grandma's Featherbed by John Denver

When I was a little bitty boy

Just up off-a the floor

We used to go down to Grandma's house

Every month end or so

We had chicken pie and country ham

And homemade butter on the bread

But the best darn thing about Grandma's house

Was her great big feather bed

It was nine feet high and six feet wide

Soft as a downy chick

It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese

Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick

It'd hold eight kids, four hound dogs

And a piggy we stole from the shed

We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun

On Grandma's feather bed

After the supper we'd sit around the fire

The old folks'd spit and chew

Pa would talk about the farm and the war

And Granny'd sing a ballad or two

I'd sit and listen and watch the fire

Till the cobwebs filled my head

Next thing I knew Id wake up in the morning

In the middle of the old feather bed

It was nine feet high and six feet wide

Soft as a downy chick

It was made from the feathers of forty'leven geese

Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick

It'd hold eight kids, four hound dogs

And a piggy we stole from the shed

We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun

On Grandma's feather bed

Well I love my Ma, an' I love my Pa

Love Granny and Grandpa too

Been fishing with my uncle, I wrestled with my cousin

I even kissed Aunt Lou phew!

But if ever had to make a choice

I guess it ought to be said

That I'd trade them all plus the gal down the road

For Grandma's feather bed

Yes I'd trade them all plus the gal down the road

**(whispered section)**

For Grandma's feather bed

It was nine feet high and six feet wide

Soft as a downy chick

It was made from the feathers of forty'leven geese

Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick

It'd hold eight kids, four hound dogs

And a piggy we stole from the shed

We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun

On Grandma's feather bed

We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun

On Grandma's feather bed

How about this one?

Got a wife and kids in Baltimore Jack

I went out for a ride and I never went back

[now I see]

Hungry Heart by The Boss, Mr Bruce Springsteen.

What was the one before, curious lyrics...??

[bowtwi]

Nah, just a song I've loved over the years.

You're right on Hungry Heart - your turn :)

[now I see]

Oh, a storm is threatning my very life today, If I don't get some shelter, Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away...

[now I see]

Oh, a storm is threatning my very life today,

If I don't get some shelter,

Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away.

War, children, its just a shot away,

Its just a shot away

[waysider]

Gimme Shelter----The Stones

[now I see]

You are correct Sir!!!

[waysider]

You think that you're such a smart girl

And I'll believe what you say

But who do you think you are, girl

To lead me on this way?

[waysider]

You think that you're such a smart girl

And I'll believe what you say

But who do you think you are, girl

To lead me on this way?

Here's a clue.

When this song was released, many people mistakenly thought it was being sung by The Beatles.

[waysider]

No guesses? :(

[waysider]

OK---One more clue.

This group later hired future Way believer Barry McCoy to play keyboard before he hooked up with Gary Puckett and The Union Gap.

[now I see]

No clue Waysider, can U give more of the song?

[waysider]

Someday I'm gonna be happy

But I don't know when just now

Some day you're gonna be lonely

But you won't find me around

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Sounds vaguely familiar, but I can't place it.

George

[waysider]

I guess it's gone on too long.Someone please jump in and grab the next one.It's Lies---The Knickerbockers

[bulwinkl]

I'll take you up on your offer waysider.

When sundown pales the sky,

I wanna hide a while, behind your smile,

And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.

[waysider]

Curiosity got the better of me so I googled it.

:asdf:

Excellent tune, Mr. Moose!

[bulwinkl]

well I'll add some more lines then and it always has been one of my favorites.

In the chilly hours and minutes,

Of uncertainty, I want to be,

In the warm hold of your loving mind.

.....

When sundown pales the sky,

I wanna hide a while, behind your smile,

And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.
