Eva Cassidy

Penny To My Name

by Eva Cassidy
Eva Cassidy

Biography:

Eva Marie Cassidy (February 2, 1963 in Washington, DC – November 2, 1996 in Bowie, Maryland) was an American vocalist described by the British newspaper The Guardian as "one of the greatest voices of her generation." She had a diverse repertoire of jazz, blues, folk, gospel and pop. Cassidy remained virtually unknown outside of her native Washington, DC, when she died of melanoma (which had spread to her bones) in 1996. Her posthumously released recordings have since sold in excess of four million copies

ARTIST: EVA CASSIDY
SONG: PENNY TO MY NAME

VERSE 1
C F
Bill and I got married following our first-born
Dm Am G
Daddy left this gas and convenience store just before he died
C F
And I was only nineteen when I had my third baby
Dm G C
Sometimes I think maybe I should have left here long ago

VERSE 2
C F
Travelers are stopping by check their oil and their P.S.I.
Dm Am G
Gas up and away they fly moving down the line
C
But this beat up truck and worn out shoes
F
Always giving me the blues
Dm G
Bill is sucking down the booze nearly every night

CHORUS:
F G C F
I've never seen the city lights how they must shine so bright
C F D G
Not like this country night the sky's black as coal
F G
And this gas station mountain home
C F
Not a thing to call my own
C F D G C
I wish I was alone with a penny to my name

VERSE 3
C F
Strangers say this mountain here is beautiful beyond compare
Dm Am G
But it's just a dumb old mountain there I see it every day
C F
If I could see a sunset skies over fields of grain or ocean tides
Dm G
City skyline in the night I'll be dancing till the dawn

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 4

C F
Bill and I got married following our first-born
Dm Am G
Daddy left this gas and convenience store just before he died
C F
Maybe Bill and I someday will find a chance to get away
Dm G
Until then it's here I'll stay wishing on a star


REPEAT CHORUS:

END
