I have a nice haircut, I've got the internet back up and working at Toyland, and I've picked up the music I need. I think I will head home, write up the notes I need on the score in question, perhaps see what's going on on ONE LIFE TO LIVE - a big traffic pileup ended yesterday's episode - and wait for word from the drummer.
I need some help with a lyric from "Evaline McCook." There are several words I cannot decipher in Herbert's handwriting of MacDonough's lyric. The point of the song is that Evaline McCook may be a country girl but she's savvy enough not to be conned by city slickers; she "knows her book."
Oh! She was a country girl
Her _____ ____ __ full of hay,
But when she had to cross the street, she alwaus knew the way!
Oh! She was a country girl
But well did she know her book
If in search of a jay, you had best stay away from sweet Evaline McCook!
The missing words look, to me, like "Her smith was en full of hay" I usually have no problem deciphering Herbert's handwriting but this one's stumped me!
