From another Neil Ericksen Play --  oh yes, it's Meg O' My Heart!  

 

A Dollar, A Collar, I'm Dead

 

My true love took a dollar And bought him self a coke
He grabbed me by the collar, and nearly made me choke. 
On the ground I holler, a sorry yell for that
I wish I had that dollar I'd buy myself a Hat

If only for a nickel I'd catch a quick plane out
But he purloined my nick-el And shows him self about 
A silver buckle 'round his waist so slim he wore 
About this place he wound an ocean covered shore!
An Island on, I Found my self, the Ocean water roared! 
Could not swim for safety and I was getting bored! 

My true love took a dollar and my what was worse. 
He grabbed me by the collar 
And Now His Name I Curse! 
Now His Name I Curse. 

 

Hey Big Boy  

 

(The song-title links are to MIDI files!)

 

PD note:  The score is choral neo-classical, plus the usual blues-ey folk rock and pop.  Among the cast was the fantastic singer, Laura Fois.  

 

After having already written the score, I met the author, who bore passing resemblance to General George Armstrong Custer as portrayed by Errol Flynn, and promptly broke-out-into hives.
