Duncan
by Paul Simon

Couple in the next room
Bound to win a prize
They've been goin' at it
all night long
Well,I'm trying to get some sleep
but these motel walls are cheap
Lincoln Duncan is my name
and here's my song
Here's my song

My father was a fisherman
my mama was the fisherman's friend
and I was born in the boredom
and the chowder
So when I reached my prime
I left my home in the maritimes
Headed down the turnpike
for New England
Sweet New England

Holes in my confidence
Holes in the knees of my jeans
I was left without a penny
in my pocket
Oo-ooo-oo wee I was about
destituted as a kid could be
And I wished I wore a ring
so I could hock it
I'd like to hock it

A young girl in a parking lot
was preaching to a crowd
singing sacred songs and
reading from the Bible
Well I told her I was lost
and she told me all
about the Pentecost
And I seen that girl
as the road to my survival

Just later on the very same night
When I crept to her tent
with a flashlight
and my long years of
innocence ended
Well she took me to the woods
sayin'
"Here comes somethin'
and it feels so good!"
And just like a dog
I was befriended
I was befriended

Oh, oh, what a night
Oh what a garden of delight
Even now that sweet memory lingers
I was playin' my guitar
lying underneath the stars
Just thankin' the Lord
for my fingers
For my fingers

Please note: You Tube removed the original song from the video ={

I replaced it with another.

I think I heard this song once, a loooong time ago. Reminds me of my Simon and Garfunkel (that just sounds like a swear word, doesn't it?) LPs from licorice Pizza Land. When it comes to tellin' stories in song, Paul Simon's the man... or at least one of them! :-)

[loveyoutodeathbut]

It's from Paul Simon's CD "Essential Paul Simon" and has a little bit of everything. I like the parts that sound like flute music from the Andes Mountains.  I feel like I'm floating when I heard that sound. As opposed to my usual feet on the ground, matter of fact ways. (insert smiley face here) btw, what's with this audio preview? Did I miss a day here?

[jcmegabyte]

That just started today, here and there, but showing up more and more. Perhaps it's a visually impared thing. Try it - it's kinda cool. I've seen a couple of other new links showing up on various pages, too. On the downside, a couple of my long-winded comments on several videos vaporized, so I hope they put some effort into correcting that, too!

[loveyoutodeathbut]

Sometimes I see some random thing that I left on a video and wonder what the hell I was thinking. Hey, I was going to ask you if you've had any of these server error messages. I'm getting them every time I try to edit my channel, they're a pita. btw, try the audio preview, it sounds like Stephen Hawking.

[jcmegabyte]

No server errors today, so far. Just the vaporized comments I mentioned. The syn-voice is kinda cool, but it doesn't handle pauses in text very well. Talk about run-on sentences!

[loveyoutodeathbut]

Put in some expletives. Hey, did you like the Neil Young? I need to go over there to see my comments. I'm so biased about him, he is so freaking talented. I need to post more of his stuff, everything I have in fact. Oh, here I go again.
