i don't think so... sherman, set the wayback machine for - 1999!!! I-) ihor > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Wed, 4 Aug 1999 16:51:31 -0400 > Subject: thoughts about 2-2-68 just a few quick thoughts about 2-2-68 that someone might want to add to the entry... the 'cryptical' has the 'different' first verse (i.e. not the 'spanish lady comes to me...' verse). by 8-22-68, weir is singing 'spanish lady...'. dwight points out that 2-3-68 was when they started singing the new lyrics. 'clementine' is beautiful, although it sounds an awful lot like coltrane's 'my favorite things'? during 'schoolgirl', pigpen *very clearly* sings the mystery lyrics from 'lovelight'. so, the mystery is/was resolved? pigpen lifted his own rap from here and used it in 'lovelight'? can ah come home witchu? good mornin', little schoolgirl. can ah come home witchu? all ya got to do, baby, tell your mother, and papa too, ah'm a schoolboy, dahlin', ah don't mean no harm to you no ah don't, no ah don't, hey, no ah, uh, ah, uh... ah been knowin' you, baby, for quite a long time, don't make no d'iffrence, darlin', ah cain't always find(?), you got them box-back knitties, darlin', great big ol' noble thighs, and i know that 'cha, that 'cha work undercover with a boar hog's eye, yes, you do. that's all sung to the 'schoolgirl' melody, very slow, so pigpen doesn't have a chance to slur his words... i haven't the silliest idea as to what are 'box-back knitties'? a type of underwear? like those drop-seat longjohns with the square flap? or is that 'nitties'? 'noble thighs' - that's them legs! 'undercover with a boar hog's eye' - could that be a blues euphemism for the feminine privates?
