Lyrics reference 'Mr. Popper's Ship'...as in the Mr. Popper Penguins story...not Mr. Barker's ship. Who in the hell is Mr. Barker? Bob Barker? And what does Dion have to do with Bob Barker. Oh that's right, I forgot that Dion wrote the theme song to The Price is Right.
@JT19992000 What? There's not an 'F' 'unk' or 'Y' sound anywhere in that line. Any junkie knows that 'Mr. Popper's Ship' is code for Horse, Jesus, ...Smack. Come on, man!
@vid9188 Amazon has some vinyl records of this song available for sale or you can order the cd "Abraham, Martin, and John" which is an import through Amazon. I wish I could send you my mp3 but don't want to give out my e-mail address or get into trouble!
mm hm hm hm, can't stand leavin you babe, im in the cold black 1 hundred babe, I'm awful down about to go i'm in the cold black 1 hundred babe, awful down all the way, gonna have your sweet lovin...Gonna jump on mr. barkers ship, skip across the ocean like a stone (2x) Gonna have your sweet lovin.....There's a caravan that's wingin' me babe, gonna fly me to your door, there's a caravan gettin warm enough for me I feel baby, carry me to your door
gonna have your sweet lovin, daddy rollin in your arms, well the super Jesus bird, carry daddy back home you, your the sweetest little angel baby, can't stand leavin you alone, oh oh yeah mama, you gonna have your sweet lovin, daddy rollin in your arms
think it was my daddy who told me to flip this record over. it DOES sound like roky! i always heard a bit of 3rd LP velvet underground in here too. dion co-wrote this, he definitely made a good business move putting it on the b-side of AM&J. does he say "super jesus butter" at 1:47? no disrespect to mr. dimucci, this one's a killer. his "yeah mama" at 2:09 is the coolest thing ever.
How is this song not in heavy rotation on oldies stations??? What the fuck? How have I not heard this song before??!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!! God damn you Big Radio
it took me days to find a mp3 version of it and finally i entered the magic words i actually had to get a rar torrent and dl it. i forget the the address sorry pm me and ill help "WINK" you out if you know what i mean.
I wonder if he heard the 13th Floor Elevators before when he wrote this (sounds like them, but better). This was the biggest surprise ever when I bought the album "Dion," at the end hearing this insanely rocking masterpiece.Even his Columbia recordings at their best are better than dylan's electric tracks - think Two Ton Feather, Spoonful, etc. And Born to Be With You? Damnn. The true king of rock n roll.
A song supposedly about his heroin addiction...and this is the FLIP to "Abraham, Martin and John"! An incredible song--totally surprising from Dion, of all people...
I wouldn't think that Dion would be capable of such a dark and groovy song. This is really really great. Hard to find!

Such a classic. I played the hit side about 5 times, turned it over and wore this side out!
