Biography:
Michael Hurley is an American singer/guitarist, reportedly born December 20, 1941. He also plays the fiddle.
Hurley's debut album, First Songs, was recorded for Folkways Records in 1965 on the same reel-to-reel machine that taped Leadbelly's Last Sessions. He was "discovered" by blues and jazz historian Frederick Ramsey III, and subsequently championed by boyhood friend Jesse Colin Young, who released his 2nd & 3rd albums on The Youngbloods' Warner Bros.

Be Kind to Me ~ Michael Hurley
from "Armchair Boogie"
[Verse 1]
G
Told you once and I told you twice:
Why be mean when you can be nice?
C G
Come on, be kind to me!
D C G
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 2]
G
I hardly feel like a mustard seed
‘cause your love is what I need
C G
Come on, be kind to me!
D C G
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 3]

I’m the ace of hearts and she’s my queen,
the best old girl you ever seen
C G
Come on, be kind to me!
D C G
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 4]
G
I told you, child, when you were sixteen,
I wanted you, girl, to be my queen
C G
Come on, be kind to me!
D C G

A bull frog sitting on a lily pond
And I was holding her in my arms

I call you on the telephone
Tell me why you’re never home

Come on, be kind to me!
D C G
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
