Back in the latter part of 1971 I wrote a song (the title above)..I filed protection rights with a company out of CA. "American song federation" in 1972 good for 15 years (This will be pretty lengthy but bear with me)
1st verse; Momma bought him a guitar; on the 12th year of his life.--Gospel book included with the strings.
every single afternoon little Johnny slip away, and in the orchard you could hear him learnin' how to sing;
"Will that circle, be unbroken; by and by Lord by and by; There's a better home out waiting in the sky Lord in The sky."
2nd; Papa wanted Johnny, to help him with the chores, momma got as mad as she could be.
After two weeks of fussin' and fightin' and eat cold soup beans, poppa said OK to Johnny learnin' how to sing.
"will that circle be unbroken bye and bye Lord bye and bye, there's a better home out waiting in the sky Lord in the sky'.
3rd Johnny packed up his guitar picks, and packed up all his strings, headed where the fortunes always blow. First a funky little tavern then twenty more the same, if momma she could see John now-she'd sureley be ashamed: "but that circle won't be broken bye and bye Lord bye and bye, there's a better home out waiting in the sky Lord in the sky.
4th----Johnnys voice got to getting rough and his pickin' wasn't fire; seems a spoon of clouded water had took his one desire---so he cooked up all his medicine and ran it in a vein---sit down on his hotel bed thinking bout some things---"like sittin in the orchard learnin' how to sing"
5th-----Momma get your Sunday dress Johnnys coming ' home today---gee mom your really looking swell today;
momma didn't say a word she just turned and walked away.
when she saw that big black hearse rolling up the lane. "and the circle just got broken right in two Lord right and two. mommas' crying-momma' weeping she don't know what to do-----The End
OK; HERE IS WHAT THIS POST IS REALLY ALL ABOUT:
in 1975 a rock band ---"BAD COMPANY"---(i think they were out of England) put out a song called "SHOOTING STAR" here are their main lyrics to it" (by the way they are not as long so hang with me)
1st----Johnny was a school boy; when he heard his first Beetle song: "Love me do" I think it was.
From there it didn't him long--got himself a guitar played it every nite
now he's in a rockin'-roll band and everything is all right ---don't you know.
2nd-----Johnny told his mama-mama I'm going away; gonna hit the big time---gonna be a big star some day
momma came to the door with a tear drop in her eye---Johnny said don't cry momma smiled and waved good bye
(I am skipping the 3rd verse of there song and moving on to the 4th verse)
4th -----Johnny died one night; died in his bed, bottle of whiskey and sleeping tablets by his head;
Johnnys life passed him by like a warm summer day---if you listen to the wind you can still hear him play.
That's all: now do you see any correlation between my lyrics and Bad Companies"????????
