Subject: Can anyone identify these lyrics ?

Written By: cornfed on 09/04/03 at 08:55 p.m.

Hi. Does anyone know what song these lyrics are from, and by which artist ? I noticed that Uncle Fester had posted this a while ago, but not sure if he found the information he was looking for. Thanks.

Do you know where she lives
Well it's down by the big red barn
Near a creek, where nobody comes around.
Chorus..Well you can tap on her window
And knock on her door
See if she'll let you inside.
But the gypsy lady from (country creek ?)
Lets you stay all night.

Quoting:
hi, i am desperate to find out the title and artist of this song.  it is from the movie 'look who's talking' and is in the scene when kirsty alley is dancing against the fridge in the kitchen, while feeding the baby.  the only lyrics i know are:

(so we'll put our faith in love)?
........how can anything survive..
when these little minds tear you in two
(wanna tell me what they can do)?

its not a great help i know, but it does sound like an old song..perhaps from the fifties or sixties.

thanks in advance stassren :)

It may be this song you are looking for:

http://www.elyrics.net/go/d/Dickies/Town_Without_Pity/

By the Dickies and it was an old 60's tune I believe.  Here are the lyriics I found.  

when you're young and so and love as we
and bewildered by the world we see
how can people hurt us so
only those in love would know
what a town without pity can do

if we stop to gaze upon a star
people talk about how bad we are
how can we keep love alive
how can anything survive
when these little minds tear you in two
what a town without pity can do

the young have problems many problems
we need an understanding heart
why don't they help us try to help us
before this clay and granite planet falls apart

take these eager lips and hold me fast
i'm afraid this kind of joy can't last
how can we keep love alive
how can anything survive
when these little minds tear you in two
what a town without pity can do
