I want to learn an old song that my Dad used to listen to. Can't find anything (other than lyrics) for it on the web. I don't even have the song to listen to. Posting here in the off chance that somebody has it, knows it, likes it, learned it, or anything else related to it.
Here's hoping...
It's Blues River by BJ Thomas and the first bit of lyrics are:
An out of town gawker
In the lobby
Of the old Peabody
Hotel
By the wishing well
I threw in my quarter
Watched it shining in the water
And wished for a southern belle
It must have hypnotized me
'Cuz suddenly beside me
True as life
Just real as hell
Long dress with lace pockets
Around her neck a golden locket
There stood my southern belle
Here's hoping...
