Lord Please Send Me Someone

	Michael Durbin Lord Please Send Me Someone	Michael happens to be a great songwriter, and was very much the inspiration for this song. So when it came time to record it, he had to be the voice. We have shared many a song circle at the Kerrville Folk Festival over the years, and if we were Taking Turns, he just had to have his. Michael's nom de plume is Moe Hansum, ...and he certainly is. Check out the latest CD, Poor Boys Long Way from Home. When this tune arrived in the studio - thank you, Mose Allison and Randy Newman, not necessarily in that order - it seemed fresh from what might have been the local Primitive Episcopal parish. (What? You don't have one in your town?) Michael found an easy quality to lilt atop the darker emotions. And then Browder came up with this great idea to modulate the chorus. What?!?* At Cedar Creek, Riley recorded piano, B-3 and Rhodes to define the space. At Flashpoint, the late, great Tony Campise recorded this solo, just another day in the life of one of our greatest alto sax players. Percussion from Paul and James completed the rhythm bed, and I added a church chorus to complete the vocals. Amen! Ringtone right-click to save target

LORD, PLEASE SEND ME SOMEONE LORD, PLEASE SEND ME SOMEONE who’s not too good for me. Someone who won't see I’m not the man that I could be. Someone not so pretty, not so very smart, Someone who can make me sing and warm my chilly heart. LORD, PLEASE SEND ME SOMEONE who’ll never give a thought To how she could do better, or how I could be taught. Someone not too picky, easily satisfied, Someone who can let me be with all my foolish pride. LORD, PLEASE SEND ME SOMEONE LORD, PLEASE SEND ME SOMEONE LORD, PLEASE SEND ME SOMEONE Some one who’s not too good for me. LORD, PLEASE SEND ME SOMEONE who’ll take me as I am. Not someone so polite that I would have to call her ma’am. Someone who’d be happy sleepin’ by the sea. LORD, PLEASE SEND ME SOMEONE who’s not too good for me. LORD, PLEASE SEND ME SOMEONE LORD, PLEASE SEND ME SOMEONE LORD, PLEASE SEND ME SOMEONE Some one who’s not too good for me. Some one who’s not too good for me. Some one who’s not too good for me. by Fletcher Clark ©2010, Armadillo Music (ASCAP). All Rights Reserved.
