Found Penny

from MOONDOG by Joseph Huber

lyrics

FOUND PENNY

Oh, bless the day that I found my love.
Alas, she didn’t find me!
Oh, but I found a penny in the wink of the walk
And I’ll whip up a wish or three.
As I flipped it in, how my eyes did glimmer
In the shimmer of a shallow stream--
Found penny, found penny,
Will you feed a fool his dream?
Found penny!
On my life, I’m gonna throw you up in the air.
Found penny!
Oh, by tonight I’ll be lost in the loops of her hair.

The day that a bouncing newborn babe
The branches of a bur oak bend,
Or holy blokes don’t billow smoke
About a broke world near the end,
I’ll hold quite well to what I hold is love--
From the rims of my heart it brims,
Found penny, I need some luck,
Don’t you tell me, “There’s no such thing!”

Found penny!
On my life, gonna throw you up in the air.
Found penny!
Oh, by tonight I’ll be lost in the loops of her hair.

A feather standing on its quill; a coin upon a reeded end,
And balanced, one upon the other,
In a thundering tempest wind--
Less likely is to define love and all that lies within,
Oh, found penny, found penny, how tempting to pretend.

Found penny!
On my life, gonna throw you up in the air.
Found penny!
Oh, by tonight I’ll be lost in the loops of her hair.

Joseph Huber Milwaukee, Wisconsin

After 7 years of hard touring and playing banjo with the influential streetgrass group, .357 String Band, Joseph Huber has found an individual voice that covers a vast range of influence. Playing all the instruments, from fiddle to harmonica to banjo to tambourine (and as many as he can at once) he amazes and entertains, but also reveals substance. His songs are lyrical, but he knows a good hook. ... more
