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