James, Skip Filmography

Die Föhnforscher
1985, role: composer

Famous quotes by Skip James:

"It's a steady bite, but you have to stay with the birds. The trout under the birds are solid fish with quite a few running from 3 to 5 pounds."

"The peak season is extended, basically."

"It'll stir the water up and move more saltwater into the lake on incoming tides. We need some new water to move into the lake. The tides have been abnormally low."

"We're beginning to catch a few good trout along the south shoreline. But it's still very slow fishing with various mullet imitation plugs and Old Bayside tails in white/chartreuse or shad colors."

"I had two guys out Tuesday and we caught four trout and a couple of reds. It's just not happening right now. Some of the top trout areas are too shallow to get in with a boat. I've been hitting the birds on the upper end of the lake. There are lots of birds, but they aren't marking too many trout. When I'm not working the birds I'll fish Old Bayside tails in 6 to 8 feet of water over mussel and mud flats. Traps in chrome and a blue back have been best under the birds."

But he just won't pay all
Ev'rybody's goin' away from home
Why don't we leave now, too?
Yeah, ev'rybody's leavin' here
Why don't we leave here, too?
You know, I work for this man
With a free good-will
Now, if he don't pay me
He gon' have me to kill
Ev'rybody be leavin' here
Why don't we leave here, too?
Now, ev'rybody is leavin' here
Baby, why don't we leave, too?
Ev'rybody is leavin' here
Baby, why don't we leave, too?
Now, here's some facts
You can hang 'em on the wall
I don't care if you don't leave at all
Ev'rybody's goin' away from here
Why don't we leave here -
You know, ev'rybody's leavin' here
Why don't we leave here, too?
Now listen here, woman
I have to tell you what you do
Give back my money
An I'll be through wit' you
Ev'rybody is leavin' here
Skipper James, is long gone, too
I mean, leavin'
Ev'rybody is leavin' here
Why don't we leave here, too?
Spoken:
'Now, you did all you could
To try to make me blue
But I don't, be a fool wit' you!
Ev'rybody is leavin' here
Honey, why'd you leave now, too?

She's all in the world to me
She does climbs upon my knee
And to me she will forever be
That little, bit-a girl, a-mine
She got two little eyes
That shine so bright
Two little arms
That would caress me so tight
An two little lips
That will kiss me, goodnight
An she's still that little ol' girl a-mine
You know, no one will ever know
What makes me love her so
She's rubbin' her little stockin' feet
As she just tips across my flo'
An she's all in the world to me
She does climb rights upon my knee
She told me she will forever be
That little girl a-mine
(piano)
Two little eyes that shine so bright
Two little arms that caress me, so tight
An two little ol' lips that kiss me goodnight
Still, she's that little bit of girl a-mine
She's all the world to me
And she climbs upon my knee
To me, she'll forever be
She'll still be that little girl a-mine
(piano to end)

Look down the road
'Fer as my eyes could see
Hey-hey, yeah
'Fer as my eyes could see
And I couldn't see nothin'
Looked like mine, to me
I don't want no woman
Stay out all night long
Yeah, hey-hey-hey
She stay out all night long
I don't want no woman
Don't know right from wrong
I wouldn't have a rooster
He won't crow 'fore day
Yeah, hey-hey-hey
He won't crow 'fore day
I wouldn't have a hen
Won't cackle when she lay
I don't want no woman
Got hair like drops a-rain
Hey-hey-hey
Got hair like drops a-rain
Boy, you know this a shame
It's a pity an a cryin' shame
(guitar)
I ain't gon' no holler
Comin' the road you're down'
Hey, hey-hey-hey
Comin' on the road you're down
I'm gon' stand right here, 'till my
Mustache drag the ground
Mama, low
Papa, saw her and so
Hey-hey-hey-hey
Papa, saw her an s-
She walk like my baby
But she comin' too slow
That's the reason
I look down the road
'Fer as my eyes could see
Hey-hey-hey-hey
'Fer as my eyes could -
Then I couldn't see nothin'
Looked like mine, to me.

Famous quotes by Skip James:

"It's a steady bite, but you have to stay with the birds. The trout under the birds are solid fish with quite a few running from 3 to 5 pounds."

"The peak season is extended, basically."

"It'll stir the water up and move more saltwater into the lake on incoming tides. We need some new water to move into the lake. The tides have been abnormally low."

"We're beginning to catch a few good trout along the south shoreline. But it's still very slow fishing with various mullet imitation plugs and Old Bayside tails in white/chartreuse or shad colors."
