Gay Farewell

[brillo69]

I've never seen
Such a sad queen
As Eddie.
I've seen him raving,
Maybe even in pain,
But never
Weeping like a baby.


On Saturday afternoon
He was really fine to him.
But on Saturday evening,
Oh, well Eddie was so pretty.
But now his boy is leaving.


Hey, boy, you're so young
To be a queen weeping.
You're just a little princess.
Oh, Eddie, don't!
Cause what can I do
But listen to you tell your story?


On Saturday afternoon
He was really fine to him.
But on Saturday evening,
Oh, well Eddie was so pretty.
But now his boy is leaving.
But now his boy is leaving.
But now his boy is leaving him.


Queenie, come home soon!

Does any one know were to get a really good copey of this song, I love it. I've heard it a couple of times, and they've always been bad quality, but I juat love the way she sings it. So if any of you in your all Katey wisdom know were to find one it would be really help full.

I'm sorry to report there is no good copy of it. I love this song too, but that is the sad fact. I think it was a one track demo. I actually got these demos before they were even bootlegged, before The Sensual World came out. (One cool advantage to being part of a Kate fanzine in the 80's--back when we used to put all these thoughts on paper with markers and a typewriter and walk 23 miles uphill both ways to school like some kind of M.C. Escher print and hamburgers cost a nickel ) This was the tape that even the best bootleggers used--and it is still lacking in sound quality.

There's a pretty good version here.

(Why isn't this thread with the rest of the demos?)

That's the copy I have, the exact one from that site, but thanks loads. I really think she ought to rerecord some of these, but maybe the bad quality is part of it. Anyway, thanks again.
