Folk Friday- “A Case of You” by Joni Mitchell

Hi y’all! Happy Friday! Sorry I missed a week, I was out of town with my band performing at a festival (yay!). Excited to be back, and for the summer coming and hopefully more time to learn new songs! So “A Case of You”… arguably one of the best songs ever? Joni plays it on her dulcimer, and since I just learned the dulcimer I thought I’d give it a try. The lyrics are just oh so good wow. They’re below as usualll have a good weekend everybody! Lyrics to “A Case of You”: Just before our love got lost you said "I am as constant as a northern star" And I said "Constantly in the darkness Where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the bar" On the back of a cartoon coaster In the blue TV screen light I drew a map of Canada Oh Canada With your face sketched on it twice Oh you're in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Oh I could drink a case of you darling Still I'd be on my feet oh I would still be on my feet Oh I am a lonely painter I live in a box of paints I'm frightened by the devil And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid I remember that time you told me you said "Love is touching souls" Surely you touched mine 'Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Oh I could drink a case of you darling And I would still be on my feet I would still be on my feet (There’s more but I didn’t do the last verse!) #song #cover #acoustic #music #musician #singer #singing #songs #fy #jonimitchell
