Dearest Cath:
Every time I see your "dolphin" fins coming up out of deep blue sea I feel
happy.
You know it's our Woody Guthrie who sings "Way Over Yonder
in Minor Key"...and I've been stuck on
Woody's words recently as Wilco and Billy Bragg sing it to me..it seems to be
about our beautiful HUNK Neil for us...
This is for you, Mira and all the NeilYoung Cowgirls on the sweet, sweet sand
Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key
I lived in a place called Okfuskee
and I had a little girl in a holler tree
I said, little girl, it's plain to see
there ain't nobody that can sing like me
She said it's hard for me to see
how one little boy got so ugly
Yes, my little girly, that might be,
but there ain't nobody that can sing like me
Ain't nobody that can sing like me,
way over yonder in the minor key
way over yonder in the minor key,
there ain't nobody that can sing like me
We walked down by the Cripple Creek
to see the frog eat the goggle eye bee
To hear the west wind whistle to the east,
there ain't nobody that can sing like me
Oh my little girly will you let me see,
way over yonder where the wind blows free
Nobody can see in our holler tree
and there ain't nobody that can sing oike me
her mamam cut a switch from a cherry trre
and laid it on she and me,
It stung loys worse
than a hive of bees
but there ain't nobody that can sing like me
Now I have walked long ways
and I still look back to my tanglewood days,
I've led lots of girls since then to stary
saying, ain't nobody that can sing like me
