Lucy uses it in sound check often..glad its back sharon On the Road to Fairfax County (by David Massengill) o once I loved an outlaw he came and stole my heart o how I count the hours since we were torn apart on the road to Fairfax County I spied a highwayman he wanted all my money my heart beat like a drum I gave him all my money and sweet he smiled at me his beauty eye took pity beneath the old oak tree we kissed but for an hour the sun was newly warm the clouds were as the flowers that bloom but for a morn he gave back all my money and bowed most gallantly he promised for to meet me that night beneath the tree we'd flee to some far island and there we would be wed and freely we would live there with no price upon his head that night I went to meet him with my inheritance he kissed me 'neath the half moon and joyful we did dance o love betrays all secrets it whispers in the breeze the sheriff he did follow with all his deputies like hounds rushing to slaughter the fox whose luck is run and he stood erect and cursed them God damn you every one they seized him in a fury and heeding not my plea they hung him from the oak tree where he made love to me Copyright DeShufflin Inc. There's a gypsy down on Bleecker Street I went in to see her as a kind of joke And she lit a candle for my love luck And eighteen bucks went up in smoke ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2002 07:39:20 -0700 From: Jodi S Subject: [lucy-list] From Tracey This is from Tracey.....since there seem to be so many Dave fans here I though this would be appropriate to pass along. Blessing to all, Jodi ***************************** Dearest friends and sweet fans, I am with you in tears and bottomless sorrow. This loss is indescribable. He was endless spring to me, he was bountiful joy and gentleness and laughter. He was my soulmate, my partner in everything worldly and otherwise. I visited with him one last time today and he glowed golden and ageless. His sister and I agreed he looked like an angel. He was absolutely beautiful. Yesterday, shortly afer he went unconscious, he came back for a lucid minute or two to tell me, "I just died...Baby, I just died..." There was a look of wonder in his eyes, and though I cried and tried to deny it to him, I knew he was right and he was on his way. He stayed with me a minute more but despite my attempts to keep him with me, I could see he was already riding that thin chiffon wave between here and gone. He loved beauty, he was hopelessly drawn to magic and the light in all things. I figure he saw something he could not resist out of the corner of his eye and flew into it. Despite the fact that every rescue attempt was made by paramedics and hospital staff and the death pronouncement came at 12:08 pm Eastern Time, I believe he died in my arms in our favorite hotel, leaving me with those final words. That's the true story I am going to tell. I am so, so very moved by your recollections. I have a thousand hugs and tears and words waiting for whoever wants or needs them. I will meet you at Falcon Ridge on Saturday, if not before. We need to keep this music alive, it was always my mission that the world hear and know the poetry and vision and wonderful mystical magic of David Carter. This path is broad and long; I hope you will stay the course with me. In the center of our hotel window earlier tonight, by lamplight, came the shadow of a bird to my curtain. He held steady for a four flaps of the wing, maybe five, and then he pivoted away. My heart froze for an instant and then I felt some relief. I took this midnight messenger as a sign. You know that I have been desperate for a sign. My love to you, Tracy ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2002 07:18:29 -0700 (PDT) From: rpniew Subject: Re: [lucy-list] lyrics to On the road to Fairfax County I apologize for just replying and therefore cluttering up the e-mail with the old message, but I'm at work and a little short of time. Have you heard David's story about this song? Apparently someone else recorded this song and accidentally listed it as "traditional" instead of giving credit to David. He wrote the group and set them straight, but now he likes to introduce the song as a traditional ballad he wrote himself. rick - --- Sdgold60@aol.com wrote: > thanks to a wayfaring stranger who directed me > to these lyrics.. i couldnt find em myself > Thanks TOm > bill .. are these the ones.. > > the song is by david massengill and was > recorded by the roches among others.. > Lucy uses it in sound check often..glad its back > sharon > > On the Road to Fairfax County > > (by David Massengill) > o once I loved an outlaw he came and stole my heart > o how I count the hours > since we were torn apart > > on the road to Fairfax County > I spied a highwayman > he wanted all my money > my heart beat like a drum > > I gave him all my money > and sweet he smiled at me > his beauty eye took pity > beneath the old oak tree > > we kissed but for an hour > the sun was newly warm > the clouds were as the flowers > that bloom but for a morn > > he gave back all my money > and bowed most gallantly > he promised for to meet me > that night beneath the tree > > we'd flee to some far island > and there we would be wed > and freely we would live there > with no price upon his head > > that night I went to meet him > with my inheritance > he kissed me 'neath the half moon > and joyful we did dance > > o love betrays all secrets > it whispers in the breeze > the sheriff he did follow > with all his deputies > > like hounds rushing to slaughter > the fox whose luck is run > and he stood erect and cursed them > God damn you every one > > they seized him in a fury > and heeding not my plea > they hung him from the oak tree > where he made love to me > > Copyright DeShufflin Inc. > > > There's a gypsy down on Bleecker Street > I went in to see her as a kind of joke > And she lit a candle for my love luck > And eighteen bucks went up in smoke Yahoo!

I'd love to hear Lucy sing it. Not "traditional", but isn't it at least inspired by the Alfred Noyes poem, "The Highwayman"? Clearly that road leads somewhere other than these Washington, D.C., suburbs in which I live.

Ha. Thanks, but that was too easy to merit a prize. Plus I already have the Ricola. I don't know who covered "If You Can See". Was it those same three women who covered "Ten Year Night"?

Okay, I found it. Is it cheating to search the Web? The John Wright Band covered "If You Could See" on their CD, Language of the Heart, number 13 in the MusicScotland top sellers of the year 2000.
