Click on title to link to YouTube's film clip of Pete Seeger's now famous 1960s (black and white, that's the give-away)"Rainbow Quest" for the performer in this entry's headline.
Markin comment:
This series, featuring Pete Seeger and virtually most of the key performers in the 1960s folk scene is a worthy entry into the folk archival traditions for future revivalists to seek out. There were thirty plus episodes (some contained more than one performer of note, as well as Pete solo performances. I have placed the YouTube film clips here one spot over four days, November 10-13, 2009 for the reader's convenience.

Cindy Lyrics
ReplyDeleteYou ought to see my cindy
She lives way down South
She's so sweet the honey bees
Swarm around her mouth
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get aloneg home, Cindy, Cindy
Get aloneg home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you some day
The first I seen my Cindy
She was standing in the door
Her shoes and stocking in her hand
Her feet all over the floor
* Refrain
She took me to her parlor
She cooled me with her fan
She said I was the prettiest thing
In the shape of the floor
* Refrain
She kissed me and ahe hugged me
She called me suger plum
She throwed her arms around me
I thought my time had come
* Refrain
Oh, Cindy is a pretty girl
Cindy is a peach
She threw her arms around my neck
And hung on like a leech
* Refrain
And if I was a sugar tree
Standing in the town
Easy time my Cindy passed
I'd shake some sugar down
* Refrain
And if had a needle and thread
Fine as I could sew
I'd sew that gal to my coat tails
And down the road I'd go
* Refrain
I wish I was an apple
A-hanging on a tree
Every time that Cindy passed
She'd take a bite a of me
* Refrain
