Now your lyrics got me stumped...
Hey now, remember lots of folk singers had hits in the 70sOriginally Posted by CarolPetunia
Wait a minute -- did you actually use the words "folk singer" and "hits" in the same sentence? Folk singers don't have hits!Once in awhile they have a record that doesn't actually lose money, but that's about it...
Think very late 60's.Originally Posted by Candlemaven

Procol Harem, "Quite Rightly So". *giggle*
Precisely! I love their stuff! Your turn!
Yes, you're right about some hits back in the day, forgive me. But I think I define "folk" a little more narrowly than most people. I never thought of Jimmy Buffett as a folkie!
But genre doesn't matter -- in the immortal words of Paul Simon, "Music is music, and a good song is a good song."

Ok here is my second attempt ... way to go, y'all! You guys are GOOOOOD!

Dawn Is A feeling by the Moody Blues! From their Days of Future Passed album, which I have!
Here's an easy one!
Once amid the soft silver sadness in the sky
There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by
He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide
And a coat of many colors, yellow-green on either side
He moved with some uncertainty, as if he didn't know
Just what he was there for, or where he ought to go
Once he reached for something golden hanging from a tree
And his hand came down empty
Once amid the soft silver sadness in the sky
There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by
He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide
And a coat of many colors, yellow-green on either side
He moved with some uncertainty, as if he didn't know
Just what he was there for, or where he ought to go
Once he reached for something golden hanging from a tree
And his hand came down empty
I know it's Carole King, but I can't remember the title...
That would be Tapestry by Carole King.
Here are my lyrics: (I'll put a lot of the lyrics to make it easier)
Under the sun, there is nothing to hide.
Under the moon, a stranger waits inside.
People disappear, the music fades away.
Splashing through the rain, I'll dream with them one day.
It's raining, raining, on the streets of New York City.
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven.
I may have wasted all those years.
They're not worth their time in tears.
I may have spent too long in darkness, in the warmth of my fears.

I know this, but I think I will give others a turn ... *blush*
Trial of Tears - It's Raining!
Love this song - it's an easy one!
John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy
Just to leave the folk music behind
Zol and Denny workin' for a penny
Tryin' to get a fish on the line
In a coffee house Sebastian sat
And after every number they'd pass the hat
McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher
In L.A., you know where that's at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

Creeque alley by Mama & the Papas - great song
Well, I am pretty sure I am right so here is mine
(another easy one)
Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And she said --
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

Walking in Memphis.
Yep ... your turn
Oh lord - let me think!
