about

From the album 'Tamatebako', Cat# BHRC012.

Song For Ronnie, contains excerpts from the Walt Whitman poem Leaves of Grass.

lyrics

The yankee clipper is under her three sky sails she cuts the sparkle and scud
My eyes settle the land…..I bend at her prow or shout joyously from the deck

The boatmen and clam-diggers arose early and stopped for me
I tucked my trouser ends in my boots and went and had a good time
You should have been with us that day around the chowder kettle

Great is the quality of truth in man
The quality of truth in man supports itself through all changes
It is inevitably in the man
He and it are in love and never leave each other

O truth of the earth! O truth of things! I am determined to press the whole way towards you, Sound your voice! I scale mountains or dive in the sea after you

If you want me again look under your bootsoles
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless
And filter and fibre your blood
Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged
Missing me one place search another
I stop somewhere waiting for you

(Mike Watt selected excerpts from ‘leaves of grass’ by Walt Whitman
