AMERICAN PIE Cover The WHOLE song !! ;)

Don McLean's great song by request.

A long, long time ago,
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I know if I had my chance,
That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while

But February made me shiver, with every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep, I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died

Chorus:
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

Did you write the book of love?
And do you have faith in God above, if the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul and can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well I know that you're in love with him 'cuz I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes, man I dig those rhythm and blues
I (you were) was a lonely teenage broncin' buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died, I started singin'

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

Now for ten years we've been on our own,
and moss grows fat on a rolling stone but that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
in a coat he borrowed from James Dean in a voice that came from you and me

And while the king was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx, the quartet, practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark the day the music died, we were singin'

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

Helter skelter in a summer swelter
the birds flew off with a fallout shelter, eight miles high and fallin' fast
It landed foul on the grass and the players tried for a forward pass, with the
jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now at halftime there was sweet perfume, while sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance, but we never got the chance
'Cuz the players tied to take the field, the marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was the feel the day the music died, we started singin'

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

And there we were all in one place
a generation lost in space, with no time left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat on a candle
stick
'cuz fire is the devil's only friend

And as I watched him on the stage, my hands were clenced in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died, he was singin'

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before, but the man there said the music wouldn't play
But in the street the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken, the chuch bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast the day the music died,
And they were singin'

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

And a Little bit a Chicken Fried!!!!!!!!!11

[celticheart1a]

your accent is soft, gentle, and somewhat angelic when you speak. it comes through in your singing and seems to caress the listener like prairie breeze. would love to hear your interpretation of dolly parton's i will always you, and tom jackson's  huron carol. and yes i listened to your own songs and they are as delightful as your covers. thankyou for taking the time to share your gift with us. up here in canada that voice would cause permanent spring ;o)
