about

Here Elliman covers 'The Band' again with her rendition of the Rick Danko classic. This song is another song that implies lesbianism and controversy. The song is more of a story telling song, which is the kind she was good at, as were many of her peers, such as Mary MacGregor, Helen Reddy, to name a few. The song is much more dramatic than 'Danko's version, having greater dynamic to the harder edge that the other songs of the album have to offer. No version is greater, but she offers a difference perspective on the story that tends to tear, rather than tell. And that's not a bad thing! Refer to the Band version for lyrics, and ENJOY!

lyrics

Julie and little John Tyler lived in the house next door
We would be the great triangle and to this we swore
Julie was my sweetheart, little John was my cohort
And all the wild horses in the world couldn't keep us apart
Once we went for a swim in the noonday sun
And promised to return before the moon struck one

Julie came running through the pasture, she was screaming at the sky
She fell down to her knees and the tears did fly
Little John was stung by a snake over by the lake
And it looked like he s really, really hurt, he was lying in the dirt
Who, we went it as fast as we could run
But we lost little John as the moon struck one

I was vacant, Julie was a bird with a broken wing
We were always afraid of what tomorrow might bring
We'll drive down to Durango--up and leave this place
And maybe forget the triangle with a change of pace
The car broke down when we had just begun
And we walked back to the house while the moon struck one
