June 17, 200817 yr http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q9Ds9gz2VI...442&index=8 I've been trying for years to work out the name of this song. Anyone know it? Or is it simply improv? EDIT: Funny how you answer your own questions when you share them... I googled the lyrics, and came up with rain rain rain. EDITED AGAIN: No, no it isn't. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
June 17, 200817 yr I seem to recall Leadbelly had a song where he repeated Lord Lord Lord a lot. I think it was his version of The Gray Goose but that's probably not what you're after.
June 18, 200817 yr My guess is that it's a combination of a lot of the negro spirituals sung during and after slavery. It's definitely got some of the lyrics from Rain Rain Rain, but they're definitely singing O Lord, Lord, Lord... Soo.... yeah, improved... sorta... Anybody here catch that? All I understood was 'very'.
June 18, 200817 yr Frankie Laine should have a recording of the very same song. Simply called "Rain Rain Rain". Like "Whiskey in the Jar", it is a song with an unknown past, evidently popular at campfires "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy
June 18, 200817 yr Author "Rain Rain Rain" doesn't seem to capture it. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
