Subject: RE: Lyr Req: KC Moan From: Wesley S Date: 24 Aug 04 - 10:22 AM I'm looking for the lyrics too. This is what I have so far - "I thought I heard that KC when she moaned" X3 "She moans like my womans on board" "When I get back on that KC road" X3 "I'll love that girl, like she's never done before" From what I've heard of the melody it's a first cousin to "Going down that road feeling bad" and I can substitute lyrics if I have to - but I was hoping someone else had some they could offer. Thanks |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: KC Moan From: PoppaGator Date: 24 Aug 04 - 01:46 PM I'm almost positive that this was recorded by the Kweskin Jug Band as well. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that Bobby Weir, like myself, learned the song (or at least first heard it) from that Vanguard LP. Sure wish I still had that record! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: KC Moan From: GUEST,Crazy Little Woman Date: 25 Aug 04 - 12:01 AM As a Kansas City (KC)resident, I need to know what the KC is. There was railroad here called the KT or Katie (Missouri-Kansas-Texas), but not the KC. The Katie has been subsumed into larger railroads, but the Katie bike trail remains to remind us. |
