Song Information:
A Bit of Mythology, methinks.
Started of as a blues tune but the guitar lick took over and then the mandolin trumped it. Tried the lyric and presto. Added harmony and then had to fiddle like mad to get the mix and wipe the kids running up the stairs halfway through the mandolin picking so that actually sounds a little sharp or tinny now. Might have to redo that.
Good enough to offer a download , though.
EDIT download is disabled coz the mix has the strummed mandolin panned the same as the strummed guitar
EDIT 2 fixed
Any thoughts you share at this stage help to keep me sane ";~)
Song Lyrics:
Calvary
I climbed way up on Calvary
Said, "Lord listen to me
We're all here on bended knees
Lord, set us free
He said, "Whadya come here for
Why do you come to me
"Freedom, freedom! Freedom! Oh!
"Don't Tempt me"
I was up to the back door creepin'
knockin' the door and the window peepin
said Hey I'm here, just to wake you from sleepin
come out where I can see
She said, "Whadya come here for
Why do you come to me
"Sleepin? Sleepin? Sleepin?
"Don't tempt me"
Tellin a tale of the Great north wind
Clearing the road and gathering Sin
Clearing the way and to usher them in
and many would ask my name
"Whadya wanna know me for?
Why do you come to me
D'ye know what came before
Oh! Don't tempt me"
Every day I do what I do
return your hearts to you
Hand and mind to unwind
the troubles this tired life entwines
"Whadya come here for
Why do you come to me
Troubles, troubles, troubles
"Oh! Don't tempt me!"
