Sure I'm always up for giving that a whirl - can't promise anything - but I would try it at least.

Mojo - Shady lips does sound intriguing for sure !

I listened to Russell and his boys play the song Pawnee Creek ( no lyrics).

I could not get that out of my head for about two days.
I wrote these lyrics to it and finally added some chords.
I could never be able to play like those guys bc I'm not a very good musician so I just tried to give it a fast rhytym like their song was.
Anyway here it is.
I put my capo on 4th fret

Pawnee Creek  by Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


.


[Em]up in the Northland near Pawnee creek


met me a woman made my knees grow weak


I fell so hard I nearly lost my mind


[B7]made me feel so good, then she[Am] left me be[Em]hind



Verse 2


.


[Em]we shared a cabin down by Pawnee creek


I fell in love for about a week


she was a hard luck woman with killer eyes


[B7]her bed was warm, but her [Am]heart was full of[Em] lies



.




Chorus


[Am]oh Pawnee Creek, Pawnee Creek


[Em]Yeah Pawnee Creek, Pawnee creek


[Am]where the water flows and the eagles fly


[B7]mystery and shadows ‘neath a [Am]pale moon [Em]sky



[Am]oh Pawnee Creek,such a pretty name


[Em]Pawnee creek, never leave you the same


[Am] sure ain’t no place for the mild or meek


[B7]oh how I miss that woman from [Am]Pawnee [Em]Creek




.



Verse 3


.


[Em]Up in the tall pines near Pawnee creek


I still hear her voice, though she doesn’t speak


Oh, We loved, we loved,and we loved some more


[B7]but then that witchy woman snuck [Am] out the [Em]door




.


Chorus


[Am]oh Pawnee Creek, Pawnee Creek


[Em]Yeah Pawnee Creek, Pawnee creek


[Am]where the water flows and the eagles fly


[B7]mystery and shadows ‘neath a [Am]pale moon [Em]sky



[Am]oh Pawnee Creek,such a pretty name


[Em]Pawnee creek, never leave you the same


[Am] sure ain’t no place for the mild or meek


[B7]oh how I miss that woman from [Am]Pawnee [Em]Creek

Russell

I couldn’t get your tune out of my head- tells me its really good

Spent this morning working on the lyrics more

Here’s what I came up with { I have no clue what chords you guys were plying - this is just how I play it.  I'm not much of a musician}

Feel free to trash it, change it, or use it
It’s just my interpretation of your music
I tried to play it fast like you guys were.

I had a capo on the 2nd fret  also

Russell
I was thinking that as I listened.  I was hoping for a old west storyline - as the Title  Pawnee Creek suggested that to me right off the bat.
good luck with the lyrics.
as I listened to it I had this little verse pop in my head....

up in the Northland  near Pawnee creek
I fell in love for about a week
she was a hard luck woman with killer eyes
her heart was warm, but full of lies


if you would like - I think i might be able to come up with more if  I listen to a few more times.
Let me know - I'm certainly not trying to step on any toes here - I just like it a lot -  just offering some of my thoughts after listening to it. smile

Thank you fellas !

It's a doo wop throwback love song from  the fifties I think. smile
It has a nice sound to it when I play through it - too bad that when I add my singing it doesn't go too well  sad   

ps = if anyone wants to see a great show about the development of music in the early sixties - go to NETFLIX and watch  " Echo in the Canyon"  - it is really,really good !

Her rendition of California dreaming was spectacular.

Amazing how  she took one of the best folk/rock  songs of all times and turned it into a jazzy / bluesy phenomenon

also,

watch the dream a little dream of me - and try not to picture her as Elvis Presley's daughter.   smile  Looks, mouth movements, and song performance ( less the hip gyrations smile  )
Good stuff my friend !
Thanks for sharing

Since owning guitars are somewhat of a passion here, I came across this - he is a favorite of mine.

Maybe some of you also have found players with great collections you would also want to shre ( or even your own.
