Local Folkie –Country Delight
(Klaus Peter Albrecht/Tom Cunningham)
CD- Home to you
Solist: Tom Cunningham
Tuesday afternoon the phone is ringin’
He’s out on the floor
Sleepin’ off the wine and whiskey
From the night before.
Phone stops ringing, man that is a pity
It was something big
A promoter calling from the city
With a steady gig.
CH
He’s the local folkie
Playing the coffeehouse and bar
Strummin’ out a tune on his guitar
She’s the weekday waitress,
Arranging the tables and the chairs
She can hear him singing out on the stairs.
Gordon Lightfoot, Woody Guthrie, Dylan
He sings ‘em loud and strong
But no one seems to want to listen to an
Old protest song.
She’s got a CD in her Honda Civic
Alanis Morisette
But still there’s something ‘bout that long-haired dude
That she cannot forget.
All of the customers have gone
And he starts in singin’ one more song
And she feels the thrill
For the folkie and the waitress time stands still.
