I have no idea why, but I kept getting an old tune from Valdy in my head today. And for those that don't know I was the rocker side of my family with husband number two who really was an amazing acoustic player.
But cripes I keep hearing Valdy in my head today. Anyways here we go. I love these lyrics because it's playing a bar in the middle of nowhere which is most of Canada and Valdy comes up with these lyrics. Sadly
they all make sense to me if you have ever been on the road. And you write down lyrics on a knapkin dispenser just outside of Thunder Bay.
Valdy - Rock N Roll Song
I came into town as a man of renown
A writer of songs about freedom and joy
A hall had been rented and I was presented
As the kind of a singer that all could enjoy
As I climbed up the stair to the stage that was there
It was obvious something was missing
I could tell by the vibe they wouldn't be bribed
They weren't in the mood to listen
They yelled out
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
Don't play me songs about freedom and joy
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
Or don't play me no song at all
I played them some songs about peace and contentment
The things that I've come to believe in
When I was through to a chorus of boo
Some track star yelled thank God he's leaving
Now someone play me a rock 'n' roll song
I've had it to here with your flowers and beads
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
Or don't play me no song at all
Well if I played you a rock 'n' roll song
It wouldn't be fair 'cause my head isn't there
So I'll leave you with your rock 'n' roll songs
And make my way back to the country
Still I hear play me a rock 'n' roll song
Don't give me music that I don't want to hear
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
Well I should have stayed at home with a big case of beer
Play me a rock 'n' roll song
Or don't play me no song at all
