TRYING SOMETHING NEW Sung by: W.P. Detherow Recorded in Batesville, AR 8/29/59 Click here to listen to the original recording So do do do re mi so mi so, So la so do so mi do mi So re do mi do do la sol la do la sol. La do do la sol la do re do So las so me so mi do mi So re mi do do la sol La do re do. Since man by sin has lost his God, He seeks creation through In vain he strives for solid bliss In trying something new, In trying something new. In vain he strives for solid bliss In trying something new. Sin rolls in here . . . [just wait a minute] Just like fading flowers, Some rose that's very blue. The bubble now no longer stays The soul wants something new. The soul wants something new, The bubble now no longer stays, The soul wants something new. (Mr. Detherow: "I didn't get that very good. There's more.") Now could we call all Europe ours, With India and Peru, The man would feel an aching void In trying something new, In trying something new, The man would feel an aching void In trying something new. (Mr. Detherow: "That's nature for a man, you know, to want to try something new. That's pretty good listening, that, but this other, I didn't have . . . 'til I wrote it down. I could do that better if I tried it over, but I guess it'll do.") |
