Folks I would appreciate your feedback on this, my second song post. Had an NSAI evaluator say that he liked the song but that no one under the age of 60 would understand the subject matter. Well, I am 52 and I wrote it so....

Thank you for listening.

Morganna
By Robert Hathcock © 2011
Verse:

I was only ‘bout eight years old
when my Daddy got his first wild hair
Always drivin’ down to Charlotte
Morganna was dancin’ there
Well him and Mama used to fight
dishes flyin’ by his ear
She’d yell but he would set and stare
‘cause Morganna was dancin’ there

Chorus:
My Daddy was a simple man
He worked his whole life at the mill
He’s been gone a few years now
But I love and miss him still
Some ol’ boys said we know a place
This girl’s got quite a pair
We’re headin’ down to the Cloud Nine
Morganna’s dancin’ there

Verse:
Well Daddy he finally settled down
Him and Mama did OK
He said Mama was in love with Elvis
So it was kinda the same thing
He became a big baseball fan when he was let go from the mill
I watched a game with him one night and Morganna was on the field

Chorus:
My Daddy was a simple man
He worked his whole life at the mill
He’s been gone a few years now
But I love and miss him still
Some ol’ boys said we know a place
This girl’s got quite a pair
We’re headin’ down to the Cloud Nine
‘cause Morganna’s dancin’ there

Bridge:
It ain’t always ‘bout being perfect
And worryin’ ‘bout the consequence
You just don’t never know when you’ve
Seen you’re last dance

Instrumental:

Verse:
My parents raised me and my brother to appreciate what we had
We’re both doin’ pretty good now I guess we didn’t turn out half bad
If we’d ‘ve been older then I’m sure we’d’ve set and stared
We’d’a been down at the Cloud Nine
‘Cause Morganna was dancin’ there

Chorus:
My Daddy was a simple man
He worked his whole life at the mill
He’s been gone a few years now
But I love and I miss him still
Some ol’ boys said we know a place
This girl’s got quite a pair
We’re headin’ down to the Cloud Nine
Morganna’s dancin’ there
We’re headin’ down to the Cloud Nine
Morganna’s dancin’ there
Come on down to the Cloud Nine
Morganna’s dancin’ there
