At last! The official version of Lay Down, live, with the Edwin Hawkins Singers, recorded in Holland. She kept issuing takedowns for years. The audience looks like they're mostly in their 60s & 70s, staid Dutch seniors. And this is from the 1960s! So the audience was born around 1890s to 1910 or so... And they not only clapped along, but gave a standing ovation at the end...
I am Probably the only person on here that has even heard This one ! Geneve, take her to yourself and watch her while she rests she talks of you as home I'll try to get to her somehow while in your arms she lies I hope she will not feel alone and I, for the many things I've done carry on and play the same songs 'cause I never knew, a better way of loving, do you? For she is so young, and my dreams will see me playing for the screaming ladies of Los Angeles and when I decided that would be my stage I was her age, I remember that was a tender time for me Geneve, Easter's been and gone and fate has played its hand and I am on my own but warm, is the hand that holds my arm and always leads me on so I never can stay long so smile, and I'll see you in a while as a tourist and a child, but not a loser for you know love, is a very much harder thing to have For I am still young, and it's true that I don't forget her, and I don't regret and I'm not going to and as I wipe away, all the traces of Lisa blues it is my shoes, that walk across the stage for the applause Geneve, take her to yourself and watch her while she rests 'cause she talks of you as home
