Subject: REQ: MELODY FOR OLD SONG From: Gene Date: 10 Jul 06 - 07:08 PM requestor wants to know who recorded this song and melody to it. Songman On the sidewalks of Savanah, there's an old man ragged and blind He don't beg and he don't steal and he don't fool with wine With an old guitar in his wrinkled hands and a thousand songs in his mind You can't keep your heart from lovin' the The Song Man when you hear him cry Chorus: Songman - One song for a dime I got songs that will make you happy and songs to make you cry I got a special on "Poor Man Blues", two for the price of one But it won't cost you a thing to hear me sing my favorite gospel song Bridge: Lord, I'm coming home Lord, I'm coming home I've been fightin' the devil too long Lord, I'm coming home The oldtimers in Savannah have known him all their lives They all say that he's done seen a hundred years go by With an old dog he calls Governor John, he starts at the break of dawn And he don't stop as long as someone wants to hear him sing along *Repeat Chorus* |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Song Man (from Tanya Tucker) From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 23 Jul 06 - 03:12 PM From Savannah Morning News. A parallel with "Songman." "Popeye is polite, soft-spoken, humble. He doesn't pester people for money like some homeless people do. He isn't crazy, he doesen't steal...." "Many nights you'll find Popeye sitting on the sidewalk on Bay Street near Whittaker playing his flute," .... http://aspin.asu.edu/hpn/archives/Oct98/0027.html And I remember posts in Mudcat about another street musician in Savannah, but I can't locate the thread(s). |
