Me & and the band were touring the land one summer a long time ago


We laid down one night, shut off the light, but the phone rang and we had to go, we had to go
 [BREAK]

I think it was Natchez, cuz I caught a few snatches of signs we saw on the way.

We pulled off the highway on to some driveway, and that’s when we heard someone say: 

Hey boys, you’re in the right place, park over there and show us your face.  We gotta a table inside so don’t be shy.  We’s about to say grace.  But then we saw your car lights shining deep in the mist of the night.  And we knew deep down deep in our hearts that the time for sharin’ was right. 

So we went down the stairs and brought up some chairs.  Thank God the good Lord showed us the way.  The harvest is done, let’s have some fun. We brought some Snap Dragons back in the wagon for you to make some Snap Dragon Stew just for you.  Have you met my daughter, Sue?  She cooked it for you.

Now this guy told his daughter had cooked it today.  She knew our music and said you’re okay.

Now I don’t remember much from that crazy night except waking up next to Sue in the morning light and tasting that Snap Dragon Stew.  Mmm… It taste so good, baby, Snap Dragon Stew.  Whew…

[BREAK]

Down in Mississippi, man it’s all the rage.  It tastes bitter at first, but gets sweeter with ageIt’s more than meal if you know what I mean.  It’s like nothin’ you’ve eatin’ or nothin’ you’ve seen.   It’s greasy and steamin’ and so damned juicy, too. Ya get what you need with Snap Dragon Stew. 

 Yes, you do…

 Chorus:  Snap Dragon Stew (Sue) – What would you do?


MUSIC OF JOHN NICOLE

inside track
This is my concert fantasy song which I wrote as a tribute to some Southern Rock.  This song was created in the studio and the grateful crowd sounds were added later to nurture my ego.  The lyrics are based loosely on an invitation from a local family to have the band join them for dinner.  We accepted, but they lived way out in the middle of nowhere and by the time we arrived it was dark.  We did have something called Snap Dragon Stew and there was a woman named Sue, but I didn’t wake up with her.  I did dream about her, however.  Wait!  It was all a dream afterall.

Sue Jones plays a phenomenal fiddle (violin):


I APPRECIATE
YOUR SUPPORT. 

Thank You!
