lyrics

My name is Becky Jane Joplin
My name is Becky Jane
My name is Becky Jane Joplin
But to myself I’m someone else

I have a beau, his name is Morris
He writes me every day from college
Each one sent Special Delivery
I haven’t even opened the last three

My name is Becky Jane Joplin
My name is Becky Jane
My name is Becky Jane Joplin
But to myself I’m someone else

As for the postman who brings them
Lately I’ve been feeling bad for him
Pushing his bike, I see him suffer
and so I greet him with a glass of water

One day he let slip
He once worked on a merchant ship
Sailing o’er the southern sea
If only that could be me

My name is Becky Jane Joplin
My name is Becky Jane
My name is Becky Jane Joplin
But to myself I’m someone else

As for the postman who brings them
Lately I’ve falling hard for him
Setting my heart all a-flutter
as I greet him with a glass of water


My name is Becky Jane Joplin
My name is Becky Jane
My name is Becky Jane Joplin
But to myself I’m someone else

Call me Rebecca!

about

Harriet Records Port Jefferson, New York

I ran Harriet Records between 1989 and 1998 out of Cambridge, MA. I released 10 CDs (most of which are available here) and 45 singles. There are 11 "new" releases so far, most recently the Coronets (London, ca 2000) and Kisswhistle (Pittsburgh). New releases next year by Chris Barickman, the Lookout Honeys, and a follow-up Ekphrastics CD!
