There are 10 songs in the DT, including Winchester Cathedral.

Also, there are a number of threads in the Forum where we've talked about various songs, and a number of the songs are there as well.

IF you go up to the top of the screen, where it says Lyrics and Knowledge Search. Putting Homer and Jethro willget you all the songs and threads.

My daddy he swore he would never quit drinkin'
My mother got down on her knees to beg,
Then one night my daddy came home cold sober,
The dog didn't know him and he bit off his leg,
Where oh where are you tonight
Why did you leave me here all alone,
I searched the world over and thought I'd found true love,
You met another and thhhhhhhhthuppppp you were gone.

Your thread led me to Kazaa to try and find those dudes.



There are probably over a 100 folks sharing their files. Run the search more than once. i.e. after noting Christmas was an album - putting it into the query gave a list of only songs from that album.

It is a great service - I have picked up Jimmie Rodgers, the Carter Family etc . with great ease.

It is about time I started to post back some of my folk collection.

I'll start posting some of their lyrics to the MC.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

I seem to remember finding the original “Pffft you are gone” lyrics somewhere; it turns out it's an old gospel tune and the Hee Haw! version was just a parody of the original.

Anyone else remember the older gospel version?

Subject: Lyr Add: PHFFT YOU WERE GONE (Heather, Campbell)
From: GUEST
Date: 25 Nov 02 - 01:20 AM

OOOPS! first attempt to post
musta wound up in NEVER NEVER LAND...

I Found these in an old songbook...

FWIW DEPT:
Gloom, Dispair and Agony On Me
is a totally different song, and a different
verse was sung on HEE HAW almost every week


PHFFT YOU WERE GONE
Written by: SUSAN HEATHER

Where, oh, where, where would I be?
Without my Jesus comforting me
For I'll sing his praises as I travel on
Today, tomorrow, till phfft! you are gone.

Take money or God, you can't serve two masters
For you will love one, the other you'll hate
And that is the cause of this world's disasters
Make up your mind now, before it's too late.

We don't break God's laws, but we break against them
Remember this friends, as life moves along
Can't you hear the voice of youth out there asking?
"Why do you do what you tell us is wrong?"

CHORUS

Each time that you give, don't get up and shout it
For He always knows what good deeds you do
You'll get your reward, there's no doubt about it
He sees in secret and He will pay you.

CHORUS

-------------------

PHFFT YOU WERE GONE
Original written by: SUSAN HEATHER
A version was recorded by: Archie Campbell

Where oh where are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and thought I'd find true love
You met another and phfft you were gone.

I miss you so much, the 'taters need diggin'
The corn in the field, it needs pickin' now
How well I recall the first time I saw you
You looked so pretty a-pullin' the plow.

CHORUS

Your lips were as red as ripe boysenberries
Your ears were as big as sails in the breeze
Your two eyes bugged out like old pop-eyed mullets
Your hair, like hay-wire, hung down to you knees.

CHORUS

I thought my love was all that you wanted
I still can't believe my gold made you fall
I thought you would leave the hogs in the pigpen
I was mistaken, for you took them all.

CHORUS

I saw your buck teeth and that struck me funny
I'm sorry to say, I wanted to laugh
You told me the truth, you tooth cost you money
You said it cost a buck and a half.

CHORUS

I laughed a lot the first time I heard "HEY GOOD LOOKIN' #2". I wondered if Hank Williams's was really better but I think this pair's is still better. But my English's not too good to understand the complete song lyrics. Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance.
P.S. For music crazes, I invited you to hear Chet Atkins rendition of "SWEET GEORGIA BROWN" to understand how great musicien they were!!

Cold Cold heart
Homer & Jethro

I tried so hard my dear to show
That you're my ev'ry dream [....]
yet every time I see your face
It makes me want to scream [....]
You look much better to me, dear
The farther we're apart [....]
yore liver may be warm but you
Have got a Cold Cold Heart [....]

You'll never know how much it hurts
to see you sit and cry
but you could cry much better
If you had another eye
one look at you and I am thru
It makes my eyeball smart
I wish that you'd fall off your broom
And break your Cold Cold Heart

There was a time one look at you
Could make my heart sing
No ever time I look at you I think
I found 'THE THING'
when I see you walk in the room
It makes the tear drops start
Why don't you go sit on a stove
And melt your cold cold heart ...

Note. [....] = sound effects

Been looking for one not listed here: The Girl From Possum Holler (tune of Girl from Ipanema) All I can remember is

Short and fat and squat and ugly
The girl from Possum Holler goes walkin
And when she passes, each one she passes goes
Bleeecch

When you see her walkin from the back
It looks like two pigs fightin in a 'tater sack
And when she passes, each one she passes goes
Bleeecch

Oh, wow that girl is so ugly
She has an excess of ugly
How can one girl be so ugly
Every day when she walks to the crick
Even the (catfish?) get sick....

Not sure about that last line. I'm trying to think back 40 years here!

BTW, when Homer died, Jethro did a wonderful job working with Steve Goodman for quite a few years.

Blessings!

I can't really find any reference on the Internet to prove that Homer & Jethro actually sang "Phfft! You Were Gone." It appears to me that Bob Newman sang this song on his "The Kentucky Colonel" album in 1959. He is listed as a comedian (http://www.hillbilly-music.com/groups/story/index.php?groupid=12013) so this is probably where the first parody was done. Of course, later versions of this song appeared by Archie Campbell on his "Have A Laugh On Me" album in 1966, and by Buck Owens on his "Too Old To Cut The Mustard" album in 1972. This latter album was released after Hee Haw aired. If you have an actual album name and date where Homer & Jethro sang this song, please post it here. Thanks!

Does anyone know of the song that has the lyrics, "Gitty up Mullie we've got to find Julie"? We think that is some of the lyrics but we are not sure of the name of the song. Can anyone help us out?

This discography lists a 45rpm record called GOTTA FIND JULIE by Lonzo & Oscar from 1959.

some more PFFFFT you were gone lyrics...in case anyone out there
still sings it...

You had six kids and I had eleven
And we had eight more just a bloomin' like flowers
I wish you'd come back and help me my darlin'
Your kids and my kids are beatin' up ours.

Where, oh where, are you tonight,
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and I thought I'd found true love
You met another and PFFFT! you were gone.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Your paw was a drinker and it made him look awful
Your poor old mother, the looks he would give her
Bags under his eyes, I remember he looked like
A butcher peekin' over two pounds of liver.

Where, oh where, are you tonight,
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and I thought I'd found true love
You met another and PFFFT! you were gone.

G

I want to reiterate GUEST,JackTinWNY's comment: I know of no evidence that Homer & Jethro actually sang PHFFT! YOU WERE GONE.
