New Song Suggestions

So that I will later remember to come back and find these songs:

Georgia on My Mind
Sweet Georgia Brown
Somebody to Love me (not the queen song)

This afternoon we threw the ball around with song suggestions. This was a good activity for physical and intellectual wellness as we had to think of songs and kick and toss the ball. I think it well. Everyone seemed to have fun. Time went quickly.

I just found one of them. It's not Somebody to Love me but I wish I had someone to love me.

I WISH I HAD SOMEONE TO LOVE ME

First verse & Chorus:

I wish I had someone to love me,
Someone to call me his own,Someone to sleep with me nightly,
I weary of sleeping alone.

Meet me tonight in the moonlight,
Meet me tonight all alone,
I have a sad story to tell you
I'm telling it under the moon.

Tonight is our last night together,
Nearest and dearest must part,
The love that has bound us together
Is shredded and torn apart.

I wish I had ships on the ocean
Lined with silver and gold
Follow the ship that he sails in
A lad of 19 years-old.

I wish I had wings of a swallow,
Fly out over the sea
Fly to the arms of my true love
And bring him home safely to me.

Apparently before this song went through the folk process, it was one of Vernon Dahlhart's country hits of the late 30's. It went under the title of "The Prisoner's Song" and a snatch of itis used at the end of the Bogart movie, Deadend. Sally Rogers learned this version from Lisa Null, who heard Irish singer Joe Heaney perform it..

Tomorrow I will be doing a country music day in the morning with old country favorites.
