Hempstalk 2009: Folk Uke - California Stars

Folk Uke is an eclectic acoustic folk duo comprised of Cathy Guthrie and Amy Nelson featuring uniquely melded harmonies and sharp, often biting wit.

You may not hear Folk Uke on the radio, since their songs have been described as inappropriate, off-color, not ready for mainstream and NSFW(Not Safe For Work).

They were inspired by many of the agreeable greats of the Folk, Country, and Americana genres. Their favorite chords are C, F, and G. So, if you'd like to play along, well, its that easy.

Over the years they have become a voice for hemp and biofuel. http://folkuke.com

California Stars

Id like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
Id like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars
Id love to feel your hand touching mine
And ell me why i must keep working on
Yes, Id give my life to lay my head tonight
On a bed of California stars

Id like to dream my troubles all away
On a bed of California stars
Jump up from my starbed and make another day
Underneath my California stars
They hang like grapes on vines that shine
And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine
So, Id give this world just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars

Woody Guthrie
