Come Back To Daddy

There was a beauty that I knew and loved 20+ years ago. I dedicate this one to her.

I wrote a few songs for this beauty.

WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING, AND SAW YOU WERE
GONE,

IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO REGRET WHAT I'D DONE.

I'M NOT OFFERING EXCUSES OR REASONS AT ALL,

I'M BEGGING YOU DARLIN, I'LL EVEN CRAWL.

COME BACK TO YOUR DADDY, I PROMISE I'LL BE

THE SWEET SUGAR DADDY, THAT YOU WANT ME TO BE.

I WON'T EVER LEAVE YOU AND I'LL ALWAYS BE TRUE,

JUST GIVE ME ONE CHANCE TO PROVE IT TO YOU.

                                                                                                                                              

I WASN'T MYSELF, WHEN YOU SAW ME LAST NIGHT.

BABY I KNOW I WAS WRONG, YOU WERE SO RIGHT.

YOU SAID I'D BE SORRY FOR TREATING YOU BAD,

GOD KNOWS I'M SORRY, YOU'RE THE BEST THING I EVER
HAD.

                                                                                                                                              

COME BACK TO YOUR DADDY, I PROMISE I'LL BE

THE SWEET SUGAR DADDY, THAT YOU WANT ME TO BE.

I WON'T EVER LEAVE YOU AND I'LL ALWAYS BE TRUE,

JUST GIVE ME ONE CHANCE TO PROVE IT TO YOU.

                                                                                                                                              

                                                                                                                                              

OH BABY FORGIVE ME, LET'S TRY IT AGAIN,                               

I PROMISE I'LL BE A BETTER LOVER AND FRIEND.

I'LL GIVE UP MY DRINKIN AND PLAYIN AROUND,                                               

NO MORE RUNNIN ALL OVER TOWN.

                                                                                                                                              

COME BACK TO YOUR DADDY, I PROMISE I'LL BE

THE SWEET SUGAR DADDY, THAT YOU WANT ME TO BE.

I WON'T EVER LEAVE YOU AND I'LL ALWAYS BE TRUE,

JUST GIVE ME ONE CHANCE TO PROVE IT TO YOU.

                                                                                                                                              

I'M SORRY SWEET DARLING, PLEASE DON'T STAY
AWAY,                  

COME BACK TO YOUR DADDY, HE'S SO SORRY TODAY.

TAKE ME BACK IN YOUR ARMS, I'M DOWN ON MY KNEES,                             

WITH MY HEART IN MY HANDS, I'M BEGGING YOU PLEASE.

COME BACK TO YOUR DADDY, I PROMISE I'LL BE

THE SWEET SUGAR DADDY, THAT YOU WANT ME TO BE.

I WON'T EVER LEAVE YOU AND I'LL ALWAYS BE TRUE,

JUST GIVE ME ONE CHANCE TO PROVE IT TO YOU.

"I'm Falling In Love Again" Song #36

"I'm Falling In Love Again"

I think I like this song about almost as much as anything I have posted on this blog. I really hope this will garner some attention. It ain't about anyone in particular except maybe some future meeting. It has taken me a bit of time to get it ready for the blog as I have been struggling with a dry throat because of trying to record while in air conditioning. Opened the windows and doors today so here it is. Hope you like it.

"I'm falling in love again"

Words and music

John Blodgett 

key of A major if you want to play along

 Didn't really know you, didn't know about you,

You were just a pretty girl, some-one to pass the time.

Then we got to talkin and when we went out walkin,

                    I found myself falling in love one more time.

(Refrain)     I'm falling in love, I'm falling in love again,

I can't remember when, it felt to right.

I'm letting it go, I'm taking that chance again,

It's real and I know I'm falling in love with you tonight

The magic of the moonlight, reflecting from your hair,

The soft hush of your perfume, fills the summer air.

I know I didn't plan to, it took me by surprise,

when I see your smiling face and look into your eyes,

                              (refrain)

I thought this chance had gone, that love had passed me by,

But now you've come along sweatheart and I'm the lucky guy,

It's not as though I'd waited for some-one just like you,

I think it's just what fate had designed to lead us to.

                              (refrain)

#35 "So Long John"

 This song from a trip down to Nashville in the 70s.

We walked up and down music row (2nd Ave.)

Chasing a dream and full of hope.

  So anyway for some reason my other song "Goin home to Nashville" did not render properly so I have redone the other song. 
I still owe you all number 34, and I will work on it. But in the meantime, here is number 35.

 "SO LONG JOHN"

Sleepin in the back of a pick up truck,

Money's all gone, guess I'm outa luck,

There ain't no place for John in Music City,

My socks are dirty, God I'm beat,

Music row's a one way street,

For some success for me defeat, I'm leavin.

(refrain)      Music city just don't want me

Music row has no place for me.

I've tried everything I know, but it's so long John,

You-all come again to Music City.

I've knocked on every door on music row,

Chased this dream as far as I can go,

The Grand Ole Opry will never know I've been here,

God only knows the way it hurts,

Broken dreams and dirty shirts

Now it's time to move on down the highway

                    (refrain)

Playin for tips in a Broadway Bar,

Hocked everything but my guitar,

I can't give in I've come to far to quit now.

I gave my all and paid my dues,

wore big holes in both my shoes,

could hang around but please excuse, I'm leavin.                   

                   

                    (refrain)

                    (alternate)

I hate to leave the few I'm pleasin,

but common scense and all good reason,say it's not the time and not the season.

"Oh you vagabond heart"

Time for another new song. Today I am posting this one and dedicating it to my first granddaughter. She is an inspiration in so many ways and I love her so much. Wish we had time to be together more. This song was originally on my first Vagabond Heart Cassette.
This is song number 32 of 52. Posting one new song a week for 2015. If you follow the blog back to earlier posts, you will find one a week for this year.

Enjoy

Oh you vagabond Heart

Why can't you set me free.

Why must you plague me with vagabond dreams,

Why can't you let me be.

You're a lie-er a thief, you've stolen from me

the best years of my life.

You drove me away from the dearest girl,

she would have been my wife.

With vagabond dreams you've branded my heart and

stolen my very soul.

My every thought, the hopes and the dreams

are lost in my vagabond goal.

To what purpose, for what reason have you left me to play

this game to the vagabonds end.

The lonely miles I've traveled today,

To another lonely night I must spend.

Oh, you vagabond heart, you've stolen the best from me.

I gave you my soul,

for a vagabond goal.

What is there next for me.

Oh you vagabond Heart

Why can't you set me free.

Why must you plague me with vagabond dreams,

Why can't you let me be.

"I'm Done With the Blues" and "Turn to Him". Songs #30 and 31.

"I'm done with the blues" is really one of my favorite originals. I especially enjoy the chords on this little Highway One Fender Telecaster. Then the second song on this set, "Turn to Him" is another special song. Songs about things we go through every day. God is good and he has blessed me in more ways than I can count. I hope these songs bless you.

I've been down this road before,

ain't goin down that road no more,

Baby, I'm through with the blues.

Don't be looking for me to cry,

I'm tired of listenin to the same old lies,

Baby, I'm done with the blues.

The way you've treated me, You know it's just not fair,

I'm tired of being lonely, I've had all that I can bare.

No more sittin home alone,

waitin for you to dial the phone,

You're baby is through with the blues.

(instrumental)

No more sittin home alone, I've found me a sunny day,

I've torn up all your letters and I threw them all away.

I got a new life waitin for me,

gotta get back to reality,

So baby, I'm done with the blues.

(instrumental)

No more sittin home alone, I've found me a sunny day,

I've torn up all your letters and I threw them all away.

I got a new life waitin for me,

gotta get back to reality, 

So baby,

I'm done with the blues

Turn to Him    

  ©1994 John Blodgett 

  Johnny Blodgett Composer

Turn to him, when when you're all alone,

Turn to him when the nights are long,

Don't give in to the sinner's song,

Turn to him and he'll make you strong.

(recitation)

You know so many times we feel the world has been so unkind,

And the problems of the every day are so heavy on our minds,

We start thinking in terms of nickles and dimes,

Let's not forget the one who made the sunshine.

Turn to him, he's allways there,

Turn to him, he will aways care,

He died but he lives our burdens to share.

Turn to him, you'll find him there.

(recitation)

So many things are happening in our world today,

So many souls have found the wrong way.

The books and theaters advertise Satin's moral decay,

And those who would follow, can't see the awful price they must pay.

Turn to him, when you can't go on,

He waits for your call, he'll make you strong.

When everything's lost and all hope is gone,

Turn to him and you'll never be alone.

(recitation)

No matter how wrong your way has been,

All you need do is believe in him,

He layed down his life to pay for our sin,

Turn to him and you can start your life again.

Turn to him, he's allways there,

Turn to him, he will aways care,

He died but he lives our burdens to share.

Turn to him, you'll find him there.

I Just Wanna Dance With You

"Just wanta dance with you"

Copyr. 1994         
Johnny Blood Music Company

I was feelin kinda down,

I was feelin kinda blue,

Then I saw your pretty face,

and I wanta dance with you.

There were other pretty girls,

might have asked one or two,

but there wasn't any point to,

cause I wanta dance with you.

                                                                                                                            

(chorus)- Then I took you by the hand,

Held you close, it felt so fine.

Feel the rythem of the band,

I just gotta make you mine.

I just wanta dance with you,

Your what I've been lookin for

let's just stay here on the dance floor

till they lock and bolt the door

Then I said my name is John,

and you said your name is Sue,

think you might give me your number

it was right and we both knew.

Somethin special comin down,

wasn't long and we both knew.

couldn't help myself I kissed you

I just gotta dance with you.

                            

                             (chorus)

(extra verse)

Asked a friend of yours about you,

She said she knew you'ld like to dance

I wasn't waiting any longer

I just gotta take a chance.
