This album made me weep when it came out and I was in high school.I immediately imagined the girl I then loved secretly...the one who 45 yeas later became my wife...and whose voice rivals that of the young Joan...and who performed WITH Joan ten years afterwards in 1971!!!! Viva Joan Baez y que viva Amber Rose!
One of the very first songs she ever recorded, and has she ever sung better than this? The expression, the intonation, sustained notes just fading away... Perfection!
the movie "Dogfight" was filmed in our restaurant in Seattle, they used Seattle as San Fran in the 60's or 70's, how ever they cut it out, but River Phoenix would eat in our restaurant every night, and drink wine till he was, well kinda scnockered -
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here right by my side
And in her right hand a silver dagger,
She says that I can't be your bride.
All men are false, says my mother,
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies.
The very next evening, they'll court another,
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.
My daddy is a handsome devil
He's got a chain five miles long,
And on every link a heart does dangle
Of another maid he's loved and wronged.
Go court another tender maiden,
And hope that she will be your wife,
For I've been warned, and I've decided
To sleep alone all of my life.
