  2. Meaning of "The Call" by Anne Murray

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    I did not find this song listed under the Songs List. I feel like maybe I'm missing some brain cells to have to ask this, but I really don't understand what the song's actually saying. I know a guy's begging for change, but that's about it!

    Here's the lyrics as I found them on Google search:

    It's a long distance phone

    And I feel so alone

    Here without him.

    Its a crime and a shame

    That I ain't got the change

    And don't you know that

    I`m worried about him.

    I've been all over street

    Every street, up and down

    Looking for the man.

    It's just a face in the crowd

    Where the traffic roars loud

    But don't you know he'd be

    Proud to give a helping hand.

    Chorus:

    Mister, can you

    Fnd it in your heart

    To lend me a dollar

    For the times have been slow

    I'm fresh outta dough

    And I ain't got the

    Money to call him.

    I threw my pride out the door

    'Cause I've been turned down before

    But I'll keep trying.

    This kind of pain is

    Kind of hard to explain

    But the feeling's the same

    As like dying.

    Chorus:

    Mister, can you

    Fnd it in your heart

    To lend me a dollar

    For the times have been slow

    I'm fresh outta dough

    And I ain't got the

    Money to call him.

    You put the change in my hand

    You're the world's kindest man

    And I thank you, Sir.

    You'll never know what you've done

    For this poor mother's son

    A thirsty man just got a

    Cold cup of water.

    Chorus:

    Mister, can you

    Fnd it in your heart

    To lend me a dollar

    For the times have been slow

    I'm fresh outta dough

    And I ain't got the

    Money to call him.

    Chorus:

    Mister, can you

    Fnd it in your heart

    To lend me a dollar

    For the times have been slow

    I'm fresh outta dough

    And I ain't got the

    Money to call him...

    Thanks to all!

  4. Alcohol Songs?

    in Questions and Answers

    I LIKE BEER by Tom T. Hall

    In some of my songs i have casually mentioned

    The fact that i like to drink beer

    This little song is more to the point

    Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears

    (Chorus:)

    I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow

    I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)

    Whiskey's too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear

    This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact i like beer

    (he likes beer)

    My wife often frowns when we're out on the town

    And i'm wearing a suit and a tie

    She's sipping vermouth and she thinks i'm uncouth

    When i yell as the waiter goes by

    (Chorus)

    Last night i dreamed that i passed from the scene

    And i went to a place so sublime

    Aw, the water was clear and tasted like beer

    Then they turned it all into wine

    I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow

    I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)

    Whiskey's too rough, champagne costs too much, and vodka puts my mouth in gear

    Aw, this little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact i love beer

    (yes, he likes beer)

  8. Repetitive Choruses or Such...

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    I've been listening to "The Boxer" by Simon & Garfunkel. For about the last minute or so, they repeat "Lie-la-lie" many times. I was trying to think of other songs that do this. I thought of "Hey Jude", "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" by Journey and then looked up "The Boxer" here on Songfacts and saw that "Ain't No Sunshine" and "Sittin' On The Dock fo The Bay" were mentioned.

    Can you think of any other songs that fill space by repeating a phrase or such over and over again? I'd love to hear them!

    Thanks!

    PS-I hope I put this in the correct section!

    Earlier I mistakenly wrote "Merle Haggard" rather than "Buck Owens" in the subject bar of my message and carried on the mistake in the actual message! Bummer!! :blush:

    What I was SUPPOSED to ask is this: Did BUCK OWENS ever record "Lonesome Traveler"? If anyone knows or finds out, thanks for your help!

    Oh Lucky! I feel soooooooooooooooooo bad to tell you this after you searched long and hard, but I made a really stupid mistake! I was supposed to type in Buck Owens, NOT MH! I had "Lonesome Fugitive" on my mind when I wrote the message and so put Merle's name by accident! I'll have to re-ask the question, but properly this time! Again, thank you so much and I do apologize for the trouble you went through because of my big boo-boo!!

    A friend of mine asked me if Merle Haggard ever recorded the song "Lonesome Traveler". He said he's been unable to find it on any of Merle's discography listings. Does anyone know the answer? I'd love to help out this friend that's helped me so much!

    Thanks!
