Peter %26 Lou
Valdy Lyrics


Peter and Lou would skate
On winter's frozen lake
Circling around all their friends
Laughing wherever they went.

They're catching the mornin' plane
And sendin' the rest by train,
Hangin' their skates on the wall
Takin' their turn and that's all
With brushes & canvas & macrome handcrafts & Bessie
Smith singin' the blues...
A chorus for Peter & Lou.

Now loneliness has a way
Of hangin' around all day
I'm standing alone on the ice
I'm wonderin' if maybe they've been right

So I'll catch the mornin' plane
Send all the rest by train
Leavin' the ice there to thaw
I'm takin' my turn and that's all.

And if I should miss them,
I'll go back & listen to Bessie Smith singin' the blues
In a chorus for Peter & Lou

Oh, if I should miss them,
I'll go back & listen to Bessie Smith singin' the blues
In a chorus for Peter & Lou

You play this song when I am angry, and I will become as benign as can be! Such a feelgood song. God bless you, sir.

@musiccollector

Valdy, just as Lightfoot and Cummings, makes me proud to be Canadian!

@tommilroy4555

Saw Valdy at a house-concert a few years ago...I asked if he was going to sing Peter & Lou and he said "If you want me to"...Just as nice as you think he would be but hey, he's Canadian.

@Caperhere

That voice is like luxurious velvet.

@GroomLeader

The music I grew up to, superb 8 track! Valdy is a true underrated Canadian music talent. Great memories!

@jamescoates5943

One of my favorite songs it has been for 45 years thank you ever so much Valdy

@Solitaire001

This is the song that brought Valdy to my attention. A friend had the album and I always remembered the song and searched for it for a long time. I finally found it on cassette. This 8-track version sounds pretty good. Thanks for posting.
