Bobby Bare Lyrics

    ------ About the song All American Boy performed by Bobby Bare

My rock n roll mentor and high school band instructor was the magnificent Bob Demmon, leader of the surf band The Astronauts (big hit: "Baja" sold 7 million in Japan, and the Beach Boys opened for the Astronauts there.)

Shortly after I expressed interest in forming an "oldies" band in '72 or so, he took me to his house where he was transferring his vinyl to 1/4" halftrack tape, and started up a cassette for me, onto which he put the tunes I "had to know."

"All American Boy" was on there, right along with Maybelline, Tutti Fruity, Blue Suede Shoes, Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' on, etc. So, yeah, I was just trying to remember the very few lyrics I'd forgotten so I can play the tune again. I love it--(especially the stammering bits.) great job, and THANKS!

    ------ About the song Me And Bobby Mcgee performed by Bobby Bare

This song has several quotes worth noting. The first is "Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose" and "Nothing ain't worth nothing but its free" "I'd give all my tomorrws for just one yesterday--". "I'd give all my tomorrows" is one of the strongest appeals to sorrow I have ever heard. Nothing more needs to be said after that statement. So many have sang this song it has become a classic of all classics. Janice Joplin, Roger Miller, Bobby Bare on and on and I am sure the future will see other who will reintroduce this classic to a new generation.

I found the record at a antique store. Someone had several stacks of 45's he was selling. There was a EP with the King label and that song was on there. I played the song and instantly remember hearing it when it first came out. At 56 I still love it.

    ------ About the song (margie's At) The Lincoln Park Inn performed by Bobby Bare

Bobby Bare lends a sweetness to several of T's creations that we don't get in T's own vocal versions. Waitress at the Main Street Cafe, I Took a Memory to Lunch, Where Have All the Seasons Gone, to name a few. Some people tire of the monotone style of standards like A Week in a Country Jail and The Ballad of Forty Dollars, but when we hear Bare sing Margie we realize what a great and versatile melodist T was. Some of T's side B album stuff like I Flew Over Our House Last Night and Little Brown Suitcase still blows me away.

    ------ About the song Dear John Letter performed by Bobby Bare

I believe all your posted lyrics are correct, BUT, you show only one LONG verse. I recall the same words being split up into two verses with Skeeter singing the chorus between verses, and again after the second verse.

    ------ About the song Winner performed by Bobby Bare

This song is a Bobby Bare Classic, if you have not heard it do yourself a favor and listen to it sometime. With lyrics like "you gotta speak loud when you challenge me son cause its hard for me to hear, with this twisted neck, these migrane pains and this big ol collerflower ear" you can't go wrong.
