[Vision2020] Idaho

[donald edwards]

Thanks for sharing! These Josh Ritter lyrics reminded me of a song my grandfather wrote around 1940 or before, I guess, so I decided to share it here.  Hoping the Windows Media audio attachment makes it past the scrubber but if it don't, ask me off list and I'll send it.  I do have an mp3 version on my other 'putin device.The Hills of Idaho-Composed by Donald Oliver Edwards-sung by Milo Bickmore Where the sun shines on the mountains of IdahoWhere the sun shines on the mountains that's where I gotta goYou can see the deer a'runningYou can hear the bees a'hummingIn the Hills of Idaho Where the sun shines on the mountains of IdahoI can here those mountainsCalling me back, I knowThat I will see my dad againMy heart will feel so glad againIn the hills of Idaho Where the sun shines on the mountains of IdahoWhere the sun shines on the mountainsThat I love soYou can feel the soft breeze flowin'You can here the cattle mowin' (?)In the hills of Idaho Where the sun shines on the mountains Of IdahoYou can here the birds a'singingsoftly so (?)I can see my home againAnd I'll never roam againFrom the Hills of Idaho   'Idaho' by Josh Ritter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ncRIMBwo_0 All that love all those mistakes What else can a poor man make? So I gave up a life of crime I gave it to a friend of mine  Something else was on my mind The only ghost I'm haunted by I hear her howling down below Idaho oh IdahoWolves oh wolves oh can't you see? Ain't no wolf can sing like me And if it could then I suppose He belongs in Idaho Packs of dogs and cigarettes For those who ain't done packing yet My clothes are packed and I want to go Idaho oh IdahoOut at sea for seven years I got your letter in Tangier Thought that I'd been on a boat Til that single word you wrote  That single word it landlocked me Turned the masts to cedar trees And the winds to gravel roads Idaho oh Idaho
