Lyrics;
Got a bandage on my soul
It covers up a hole
And I think that I am getting better
Put some stitches in my heart
From when it once was torn apart
On the day I read dear John's letter
When I fell to pieces
Since then I've been putting them back together

You got the best of me
As anyone could see
Then you set my world up in flames

I've got scars deep down inside
From the cuts into my pride
It's such a low down dirty shame
I never learned to play this game
I should have paid attention
And I'm the only one I can blame

Got a bandage on my soul
It covers up a hole
So I think I must be getting better

Put some stitches in my heart
From when it once was torn apart
On the day I read dear John's letter
The day I fell all to pieces
But I'm putting all those pieces back together

Dear John's Letter

TU ME VOIS TU ME REGARDES MAIS TU ME FLASHES PLUS
TOUT JUSTE SI TU PRÊTES GARDE À MON PARDESSUS
AH C’EST DUR DE SE REVOIR M’A DIT JOHNNY EN RÊVE
AVANT DE S’ÉVAPORER DANS LA NUIT DE SAINT-TROPEZ

ALORS J’AI MIS MON PARDESSUS MES BOTTES ET MON CHAPEAU
ET J’AI MARCHÉ DANS LES RUES SOUS LE GRIS CHAPITEAU 
J’AI ESPÉRÉ LE REVOIR MAIS COMME DANS UN RÊVE
C’EST TOI QUI M’EST APPARU MON VIEIL AMI DISPARU

DIRE QUE JE TE CROYAIS MORT ET RAYÉ DU PAYSAGE
COMME ON JETTE PAR DESSUS BORD SON EXCÉDENT DE BAGAGES
C’ÉTAIT BON DE TE REVOIR AILLEURS QU’EN RÊVE
DE POUVOIR RAFISTOLER LE TISSU DU PASSÉ

ET PUIS J’AI SUIVI MA DÉROUTE JUSQU’AU PÉRIPHÉRIQUE
ET DE LÀ J’AI PRIS LA ROUTE DESTINATION L’AFRIQUE
J’AI TOUJOURS VOULU REVOIR CE GRAND FLEUVE DE RÊVE
OÙ LE COUCHER DU SOLEIL CHANGENT LES EAUX EN MIEL

MAIS L’HEURE N’EST PLUS AUX VOYAGES AU PASSAGES DE FRONTIÈRES
Y’A CHANGEMENT DE PAYSAGE SUR TOUTE L’ÉTENDUE DE LA TERRE
ET PLUS MOYEN DE REVOIR SAUF EN RÊVE
LES PAYS QU’ON A AIMÉS LES AMIS QU’ON A SEMÉS  

ENFIN LA NUIT SUR PANAME RETOMBE EN DOUCEUR
EST-CE LA NUIT DE L’IGUANE OU CELLE DU CHASSEUR
ON SE CROISE SANS SE VOIR COMME EN RÊVE
PARFOIS UNE AILE NOUS FRÔLE UNE MAIN SUR L’ÉPAULE

ME REVOILÀ DANS LE NOIR ET BLANC DE MON LIT
PAS MAL ÉTONNÉ D’AVOIR RÊVÉ DE JOHNNY
PLUTÔT QUE DE TOI MON POTE MAIS LES RÊVES
N’EN FONT JAMAIS QU’À LEUR TÊTE LEUR MISSION EST SECRÈTE

ALORS AMIS DISPARUS Ô CHERS ABONNÉS ABSENTS 
QUI DU PASSÉ AU FUTUR SEREZ TOUJOURS PRÉSENT
JE VOUS DONNE RENDEZ-VOUS DANS MES RÊVES
VOUS LAISSANT LE CHOIX DU LIEU, DE L’HEURE ET DE LA NUIT

 TU ME VOIS TU ME REGARDES MAIS TU ME FLASHES PLUS
TOUT JUSTE SI TU PRÊTES GARDE À MON PARDESSUS
C’ÉTAIT COOL DE SE REVOIR M’A DIT JOHNNY EN RÊVE
AVANT D’ALLER SE FAIRE VOIR DANS LA NUIT DE SAINT-TROPEZ

Background

This is my take on an old traditional song. The earliest reference I've discovered is around 1847.  It supposedly had other titles 'The Grinders' and 'The Saddle on the Right Horse'  

It is a vivid description of the lot of Sheffield Grinders, working and often dying early in life due to their trade. The 'Grinding Hull's' mentioned in the lyrics were grim places, full of particles of metal and dust from the grinding wheels. Historical evidence suggests boys were often apprenticed from nine to twelve years of age.

Through my working career I was employed in the Steel Industry engaged in scientistic work and environmental research, quite a bit of it related to occupational health problems, So it is no surprise to me and very fitting that I wanted to get this song recorded. As a Sheffield lad born and bred it connects for me I guess. 

Apparently a version of this traditional song was recorded by 'The Ian Campbell Group' in 1972 and the band 'Afterhours' from their eponymous cassette only album from 1988. After hearing the 'Afterhours' 1988 version, I decided to work up a DADGAD guitar arrangement of my own.  Here is the result.
---------------------------------------------------
Instrumentation and Arrangement

I wanted a simple arrangement for this song as really it's all about the lyrics and overall message. I used a DADGAD guitar tuning and aimed for a strum pattern that hopefully reflects the cyclical rhythmic quality of the grindstones in use.

After the main vocals was recorded I decided a bit of backing vocals would add a bit of extra spice to the overall song. Sometimes voice and guitar is all you really need. :-)

The Sheffield Grinder (Lyrics around 1847)
**( with small revisions for this version)
(Photograph taken from the Illustrated London News 1866)

The Sheffield grinder's a terrible blade.
Tally ho, the grinder!
'Fore he sets his little 'uns down to trade.
Tally ho, the grinder!
He sets ‘em all down to grind in the hull,
Till their bodies are stunted and their eyes are dull,
And their brains are all dizzy and dazed in their skulls.
Tally ho, the grinder!

He shortens his life and he hastens his death.
Tally ho, the grinder!
And he’ll drink steel dust with every breath.
Tally ho, the grinder!
And he won't wash his hands ‘ere he eats a meal
And he won’t wear a mask as he grinds at his wheel
And he’ll die as he’s lived, as hard as cold steel.
Tally ho, the grinder!

(Instrumental)

The Sheffield grinders of whom we do speak.
Tally ho, the grinder!
Well they’re men who’ll earn just one pound a week.
Tally ho, the grinder!
But of Sheffield grinders another sort
Methinks ought to be called to court,
Aye, and that’s the grinding Government Board.
Tally ho, the grinder!

At whose door lies the blacker blame?
Tally ho, the grinder!
Oh where lies the heavier weight of shame?
Tally ho, the grinder!
Is it the famine-price contractor's head,
Or on the workman who’s under-fed,
And who grinds his own bones and his children’s for bread?
Tally ho, the grinder!

SCENE 2 (2013)

Another collaboration with the wonderful Janine Levinson.
Here are Janine's lyrics.
take my broken heart and candy-coat it
take my empty room and fill it full of sugar roses
cause we’re walking in four leaf clover
our lonely days are over!
they’re just a memory to us now

bad luck comes and goes just like the wind and weather
and my luck changed the moment love blew us together
now we’re walking in four leaf clover
our lonely days are over
they’re just a memory to us now
a memory to us now
a memory to us now

we’re walking in four leaf clover
we’re walking in four leaf clover
we’re walking in four leaf clover now!
