It was 38 years ago this year when three folk singers combined talents and made their debut at Greenwich Village's Bitter End coffee house. What began there has become a legacy, shared by people all over the world who are now on a first name basis with Peter, Paul & Mary. With many albums, Grammy awards and esteemed television shows behind them, they continue to embrace the family of folk music, singing new songs written by the "old soul" poets of today as well as traditional ballads drawn from the great folk heritage they still honor and enjoy. The release of their new Warner Bros. CD, Songs Of Conscience & Concern, signals the arrival of a collection of 15 of their most powerful and evocative songs, culled from nine different albums (of the 20 they have rel More... (Submit New Peter, Paul & Mary Lyrics) (Submit New Peter, Paul & Mary Lyrics) Review about Peter, Paul & Mary Puff, we love you and will never forget you!!! | Reviewer: crybaby ------ About the song PUFF, THE MAGIC DRAGON performed by Peter, Paul & Mary This song has caused more children to cry than any other...I know, I was one of 'em..I used to wail everytime I heard it. I always felt sad that Puff was abandoned which would make anyone feel sad, especially the verse; "Little Johnie Paper loved that rascal Puff..." What happened to the 'love' that he abandoned Puff? :-( There is a lot of thuth in this song | Reviewer: Tom B. ------ About the song DON'T LAUGH AT ME performed by Peter, Paul & Mary This is an excellent song and VERY well written. I am a parent of two special need children. When I heard this song, I thought of all the pain that my kids had to go through in and out of school. It is heart wrenching for me to realize that this song has so much truth in it. I think that school districts all over America should develope acceptance classes based off this song Sorrowf or the loss of Mary! | Reviewer: Bob Moore ------ About the song SORROW performed by Peter, Paul & Mary After hearing on National Public Radio that Mary Travers of PP&M died of leukemia on August 16, 2009, I had to listen again to our two CDs of their songs, and found SORROW on Track 3 of the first one. I burst into tears while listening to it, particularly the third verse: "Your friends they say I am a stranger. You'll never see my face no more. There is just one promise that's given. We'll sail on God's Golden Shore." Now, we'll only see Mary's face on PP&M album covers, but I hope We'll sail {with her} on God's Golden Shore. P. S. I think "Danny's Downs" on PP&M's "Flowers and Stones" CD should be used in memorials to Mary: "Chorus : Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly, Did they sound the dead-march as they lowered you down. Did the bugles play the Last Post and chorus, Did the pipes play the 'Flowers o' the Forest'." with closing verse sharing much of dear Mary's life mission and message: "Now young Willie McBride I can't help but wonder why Do all those who lie here know why they died And did they believe when they answered the cause Did they really believe that this war would end wars Well the sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain The killing and dying was all done in vain For young Willie McBride it all happened again And again, and again, and again, and again." March on Washington, 1963 | Reviewer: JimK ------ About artist/band Peter, Paul & Mary Beau Sweetwater is unfortunately flat out wrong. PP&M sang "Blowin' In The Wind" almost immediately preceding Dr. King's "I have a dream" speech in August, 1963. References abound on the web; check their official website. They were also with King in '65. good childhood memories | Reviewer: jim konistis ------ About the song RIGHT FIELD performed by Peter, Paul & Mary I was a professional soccer player from my school days,back in the early 80's.Soccer was my life,6 days a week.I first heard this song at a Christian concert in Sydney,at a place called the Hordern Pavillion where i worked as an usher,from 1982-1991.This song showed me how to be humble,patient,and above all,blessed me with the ability to try and help others to fulfill their sporting dreams,regardless their ability. That night i remember just standing in the aisle and just balling my eyes out,at the mere thought of this poor kid being "exiled" to the outfield because he was "no good".I made it my personal endeavour that i would never judge a person on his "inability" but try and focus on what they did well.Thank you for posting the lyrics as it has brought back alot of good memories.God Bless. Date innacuracy | Reviewer: Beau Sweetwater ------ About artist/band Peter, Paul & Mary PP&M are, and ever shall be one of my favorite groups. This biography is interesting, but at least one portion is not chronologically correct. They were with King in 1965, not 1963: I was there. Not to worry however, there was a great deal of creativity and inaccuracy involved in the media coverage of those events there during that time. Many egregious conditions existed there at that time and change was sorely needed. What a shame most of the historical accounts paid so little attention to detail and accuracy. But then, has history not historically (irony intended) been that which is penned by the historian, not necessarily that which actually occurred? Beautiful Song! Should be World Anthem | Reviewer: Jimmy Hollis i Dickson ------ About the song SONG OF PEACE (Finlandia) performed by Peter, Paul & Mary This is a wonderful song, as well as beautiful. It calls out to us all to replace petty patriotism with a sense of universal connectedness and awareness that we are ALL in this together. If we all had sung this hymn daily as children in school, instead of the war-glorifying national hymns we did grow up on, this World might be a more peaceful and BETTER place. I have only just now become acquainted with this song, my introduction being the a capella version sung by Indigo Girls (with guests) live [to be found on their "Rarities" album]. Every time I get to it, I repeat (sometimes 4 times or more). I will be submitting addition lyrics (as sung in the version I've heard), which I found on Wikipedia. still lovin' puff | Reviewer: pamalam ------ About the song PUFF, THE MAGIC DRAGON performed by Peter, Paul & Mary This has always been one of my favorites. Moreso after grandkids. I believe the good meaning of it because that's the way I always looked at it but I guess if you want to think of it another way you can. And I think that's very sad. Son's Favorite as a Boy | Reviewer: Grandma C ------ About the song PUFF, THE MAGIC DRAGON performed by Peter, Paul & Mary This song and the story book was my son's favorite when he was a little boy. I saw a water globe in my granddaughter's room of Puff and it played the song - it's the globe I bought my son when he was a child, in his daughter's room now. I had to find the lyrics online. I still get choked up whenever I hear it, just like I did years ago. Had to print the lyrics to give to my son. Now I'll have to get the children's story for my little princess. Very Touching.. | Reviewer: Elizabeth ------ About the song DON'T LAUGH AT ME performed by Peter, Paul & Mary The first time I heard this song was at my daughter's school assembly. It was so moving it makes the tears fall and gives me goosebumps every time. This song really covers all bases and should be broadcasted over the radio! Thank You Eric Anderson | Reviewer: bguissinger ------ About the song ROLLING HOME performed by Peter, Paul & Mary These words gave so many of us a way to go. They rang true and still remind us that justice with integrity are the only way society can grow up into a good place to be. Where are songs of this mettle commenting on current crud? (notice the use of alliteration) Think I'll go trap a muskrat. The polar opposite of "Big Rock Candy Mountain" | Reviewer: DL ------ About the song TOO MUCH OF NOTHING performed by Peter, Paul & Mary For an English Teacher like me, these lyrics make a great contrast with the famous depression-era standard,"Big Rock Candy Mountain". "Candy Mountain" takes a humorous turn in its central "Hobo's fantasy" image, and the images of leisure and good fortune connected with it. "Mountain" is a song from someone who still has humor, and as such, is not at the end of they're rope (i.e. ready for violence). "Too Much", on the other hand, has a fairly humorless lyric, and admits to the grimmer side of human nature that cam be guided by despair, or oppression, to violence. This song anchored my life | Reviewer: Myles ------ About the song ROLLING HOME performed by Peter, Paul & Mary I am right with you Dan....I first heard this song when I bought the album 1700, and I too was 21 in '68. I loved it immediately. It really helped form certain opinions early on. Along with "The Great Mandella", it helped me stay out of the draft and then council over 150 guys from going into the war. I too can not understand why this song was not picked up by others to perform in their styles. I still get goosebumps when I here PP&M sing this incredible song with lyrics that truly speak the truth !! plagiarism | Reviewer: Michael Holland Shepard ------ About artist/band Peter, Paul & Mary I wrote Puff the Magic Dragon when I was almost 13 years old. The song was sent to Peter Paul and Mary. My mother was tricked out of the rights to the music. The hearing was a farce. My family's lives were threatened. Michael Holland Shepard (Limelighter) before the Limeliters. Please don't give awards to criminals! My daughter | Reviewer: Seri Moon ------ About the song DON'T LAUGH AT ME performed by Peter, Paul & Mary A couple of years ago, my daughter and I saw Peter Yarrow performing this song. She sat in her chair and sang with him. He looked at her and her head was down facing her lap. I cried. For her bat mitzvah she and a friend are singing this song. Chanukah, Freedom and Daniel | Reviewer: Jim Wetterau ------ About the song HAYO, HAYA performed by Peter, Paul & Mary This is a wonderful performance of Hayo Haya by Peter, Paul and Mary accompanied by the New York Choral Society. The words remind us of the fight for religious freedom and holiness and the desecration of Solomon's temple in Jerusalem. It also reminds us that this was predicted by the prophet Daniel when he had a vision of exactly this desecration. We are reminded that we should not let faith go out and that Judas Maccabeus fought for exactly that right of religious practice. Hadn't heard this song in years | Reviewer: irisheyes54 ------ About the song GONE THE RAINBOW performed by Peter, Paul & Mary I remember this song from the 60s and sang it for years not knowing what the lyrics meant. I've since learned versions by Clannad and Celtic Woman and the gaelic version is completely different. anyone know if Peter, Paul and Mary's version is a phonetic gaelic version? I'm confused. WHoa dude---like stonersville on the evil maryjane, dude | Reviewer: Marvoon the Great ------ About the song PUFF, THE MAGIC DRAGON performed by Peter, Paul & Mary Wussup with you sticking your dragons in your caves? Better then gerbils? This was , is and always will be about getting stoned no matter what those tards say. They just dont want to be known for corrupting kids. I hope on their deathbed one of them fesses up and admits it. Maybe they dont even remember writing it, having buzzed their nerve cells out on some sweet Thai bud. Peter Paul and Mary: Beyond Superior Talent | Reviewer: Grace ------ About artist/band Peter, Paul & Mary In a way, PPM is unquestionably a musical genius, unforgettable legend adored by different generations. Their natural gift, versatility and passionate adrenalin have always been apparent in every message-driven song and in every live performance. Each has his/her own creative way of expressing depth, strongly complemented with guitar dexterity, vocal prowess, classy vocal harmony, and of course the animated body grooves of Mary Travers. The group's superb pure talent, since time, has been accentuated by their strong activism on all forms of violence while promoting upright socio-economic pursuits, all of which only substantiates the intellectual context of the group - in professional, emotional and moral perspectives. Such differential value has been sustained for half a century, and still going strong. Peter Paul and Mary is a global Institution, well-recognized for their musical wisdom which has continued to advocate moral ideals to world society, by using their their mega talents and sense of expression. Peter Paul and Mary are real artists - they are intellectually articulate inside-out. And we are more than grateful for the immortal inspiring great songs they have poured to span of generations. With their ultra-terrific musical ingenuity, PPM is simply the best! A song to help get you through the night | Reviewer: Joseph A.Zuchowski ------ About the song SWEET SURVIVOR performed by Peter, Paul & Mary I was given PPM's album "Reunion" many years ago after a major break up in my life, I am frequenly subject to periods of depression and anxiety, the song I've often played this song to help get me through these periods, and to remind my self that there is always someone in this world who can use your help and not to get too wqrapped up in your problems byt to kep pushing on through!
