A SONG FOR FOLK-LEGACY (Or A Record Edged in Black) written with a bow to tradition, by Bob Clayton c. 19861. I was standing by my window one fine morning, Without a though of worry or of care, When i saw the postman coming up the pathway With such a jolly face and jaunty air. He rang the bell and whistled while he waited, And then he said, " Good morning to you, Jack!" But he little knew the happiness he brought me When he handed me that record edged in black.2. With trembling hands I took the record from him; I opened it and put it on to play. When I heard that old-time singer with his banjo, It changed my very life right from that day. I didn`t know a thing about the singer. As I read the liner notes from front to back, And the only song I recognized, "Tom Dooley," On that wonderful first record edged in black.3. Now, since that time, I`ve heard a lot of music, And I learned to sing and play a bit, myself, From those songs and singers that I grew to cherish In that black-bound stack of records on the shelf. I used to wait just for the postman`s visit, Coming up the pathway with his pack; `Cause I knew the kind of music that could move me Was found upon those records edged in black.4. But harder times have hit the record business; It`s tough to make a go, I`ve heard it said. And little folky companies like this one Do most of their accounts in ink of red. You`ve got to get the customer`s attention As he browses through the old folk record rack. It`s been a couple years, or even longer, Since I`ve seen a good old record edged in black.5. I know you can`t return to days back yonder. The world turns toward the morning, so they say. But I, for one, would not be too unhappy If a few things never changed from day to day. I`d like to see the postman one fine morning, Coming up the pathway with his pack, He`d never know the happiness he`d bring me If he handed me a record edged in black.filename[ SONGFLDC===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
