The word around town ~Rebecca Pidgeon

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem She is a special one, Shes never seen the sun She only comes out when the moon is on the run And all the stars are gleaming Shes growing in the street right up through the concrete But soft and sweet and dreamin' There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul And starts a fire there and then I lose control I have to beg your pardon I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my garden

The new york girls club這張CD是在94年HK音響節購買Rebecca Pidgeon的The Raven後,翌年再收藏的第二張CD,與第一張比較,沒有令人失望,仍然是country味道,再加上jazz的編曲,結合起來使人聽得非常舒服,錄音質素當然是Chesky Records的一貫超水準

24 Hours Of love

Slip away from your life
you pretty little wife
Take a cap to the savoy
dont forget to tip the bell boy
come upstairs room 54
do not to stood beyond the door
knock three times loud and clear
for 24 hours of love my dear

Dont be nervous dont be shy
I want you to know that i'm a nice guy
lay you down on my bed
forget the troubles in your head
I/m your oasis for a day
all the noise has gone away
Little sweet heart dont be blue
I've got 24 hours of love for you

A day of love is good for you
from golden morning into the blue
Live in style for a while
friendly service with a smile

And when the dawn comes around
you rise without a sound
slip downstairs, fix your face
pack your precious vanity case
take the bus back to your life
loving happy pretty wife
remember as you take your tea
Your 24 hours of love with me

A day of love is good for you
from golden morning into the blue
Live in style for a while
friendly service with a smile

** The word around town **

The word around town

is that you've found somebody new

Thay say your out there running round

Well I dont know and i dont say that Its true

But baby, thats the word around town

The word around town

is that you take your morning tea

In somebody else's dressing gown

A scandalous libel it seem to me

But baby thats the word around town

Preacher says ~dont cast the frist stone

And mama says I told you so

And Sister says leave well enought alone

And I cant even tell you I'm the last to know

Cause I dont know

The gossip wastes the dame day

Talking 'bout what other people do

I couldn't care less what the gossip say

That's of couse its true

The word around town

is that you've found somebody new

And I confess it starts to get me down

But It ain't you baby that makes me blue

You know it's just the word around town

Grandmother

Well, well I'm young
I'm a young girl
Well I mean
I'm a young woman
And then I guess
I'll just be a woman
Not too young
Not too old
Just right
Right in the middle
Just about right in the middle

And then well
When I guess
I'll get a little older
God willing
Guess I'll just get
A wee bit older
And then I'll be, yes that's right
An older woman
Mmm Hmm
And as the years roll on and on and on
I'll keep on getting older God willing

then well ,When I guess
Nothin' for it
I'm gonna be
If God wills it
Yes that's right
An old woman
An old old woman
And as the years roll on and on and on
I'll keep on getting older God willing

But you'll still say
I'm beautiful
I'll still be beautiful inside
And lovely to you huh Baby?
Lovely to you huh Baby?

And I'll say to them young 'uns
Hey kids!
Kids!
Gather round
Gather round me now

When your grandfather and I were young...

And as the years roll on and on and on
I'll keep on getting older God willing

Oh, mother mother, hear me father, catch me when I fall
And as the years roll on and on and on
I'll keep on getting older God willing
Oh, mother mother, hear me father, catch me when I fall
