    I especially love it when she talks about places that I know and love, like Mount Bonnell. Her stories take me back there again.

    1st song proper title and correction: *"Daddy Said"*
    Oh, I used to wish I was a hard line taker, and they'd say,
    "Six to one a half dozen'll break her",
    'till I fell in love with a young man who sang the blues
    Oh, bless my daddy, he warned me well
    He'd whisper in my ear and say, "Now look out, gal,
    There's always a ne'er do well gonna call you the fool"
    He said, "you'll never learn to fish on a borrowed line
    You'll never learn to write if you're walkin' 'round cryin'
    And it's a pity that you're lover died young, but,
    You'll never get tired of livin' alone".
    So, now I dream of the lover that I don't know
    It's safer this way ''cause I don't have to go, oh, and he
    Won't come, so nobody goes away
    Sometimes I wish for the warmth of his hand
    Take a look in these eyes and understand
    I'm just a little too old to be a-learnin' the rules of the game
    He said, "you'll never learn to fish on a borrowed line
    You'll never learn to write if you're walkin' 'round cryin'
    And it's a pity that you're lover died young, but,
    You'll never get tired of livin' alone".
    Oh, maybe I could take him to Mexico
    We'd kick our heels in the warm cloudy gulf
    He'd sing a song about the weather in the Poconos;
    This lover that I don't know
    Then two hearts would pound 'stead of one in the night
    I'd learn to fish with my own line
    Catch my dream and hope that line would hold
    He said, "you'll never learn to fish on a borrowed line
    You'll never learn to write if you're walkin' 'round cryin'
    And it's a pity that you're lover died young, but,
    You'll never get tired of livin' alone".
    No, I never get tired of livin' alone
    Sometimes my feet get cold, when I'm livin' alone,

    Just read her book Other Voices, that accompanies the two albums of other peoples songs, such important albums, but the magic of her own world simply shared in song is the true essence of Nanci.

    Her version of "Once in a Very Blue Moon" is amazing, the one she did on Austin city Limits is great too but this version is fantastic. I love how her voice is soft and gentle, but at other times has this slap in it that wakes you right up. A really underrated, fine, fine singer.

    *(Roseville Fair)*
    Oh, the night was clear
    And the stars were shinin'
    And the moon came up so quiet in the sky
    All the people gathered 'round
    And the band was a-tunin'
    I could hear them now
    Playin' "Comin' Through The Rye"
    You were dressed in blue
    And you looked so lovely
    Just a gentle flower
    Of a small-town girl
    You took my hand
    And we stepped to the music
    With a single smile
    You became my world
    And we danced all night
    To the fiddle and the banjo
    Their drifting tunes seemed to fill the air
    So long ago, but I still remember
    When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair
    Now we courted well
    And we courted dearly
    And we'd rock for hours
    In the front porch chair
    Then a year went by
    From the time that I met you
    And I made you mine
    At the Roseville Fair
    And we danced all night
    To the fiddle and the banjo
    Their drifting tunes seemed to fill the air
    So long ago, but I can still remember
    When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair
    And here's a song for all of the lovers
    And here's a tune that they can share
    May they dance all night
    To the fiddle and the banjo
    The way we did at the Roseville Fair
    May they dance all night
    To the fiddle and the banjo
    The way we did at the Roseville Fair

      She had leukemia when she was in her teens. She beat it. It returned again later in life. She fought it but unfortunately it took her. Kate Wolf was a great friend of her's. Wolf passed with cancer and part of Nancy seemed to go with her. Listen to the Nancy's version of "across the great divide" Written by Kate Wolf. My sweet angel Nancy rest in peace.😢
