'Her name was Joanne...."

[Micheal Rodgers]

Can anyone supply the lyrics for this song. I think is was sung by Michael Nesmith
from 'The Monkees'. The lyrics start something like...

Her name was Joanne and she lived in a meadow by a park
And the woman that she was.....

I would appreciate help with this one. Thanks

Michael

JOANNE
Words and music by Michael Nesmith

Her name was Joanne and she lived in a meadow by a pond.
And she touched me for a moment,
With a look that spoke to me of her sweet love.
Then the woman that she was drove her on with desperation.
And I saw as she went a most hopeless situation,
For Joanne and the man and the time that made them both run.

She was only a girl. I know that well but still I could not see,
That the hold that she had was much stronger than the love she felt for me.
While staying with her and my little bit of wisdom,
Broke down her desires like a light through a prism,
Into yellows and blues and a tune that I could not have sung.

Though the essence is gone, I have no tears to cry for her
And my only thoughts of her are kind.

Her name was Joanne and she lived in a meadow by a pond.
And she touched me for a moment,
With a look that spoke to me of her sweet love.
Then the woman that she was drove her on with desperation.
And I saw as she went a most hopeless situation,
For Joanne and the man and the time that made them both run.

For Joanne and the man and the time that made them both run.

[Michael Rogers]

When I was a kid in grade school, we used to make up parodies of this
song. I can't really remember any of them, but if *you* can please post.

For example, in his "Elephant Parts" video Michael Nesmith sang the song
(while dressed in a monster costume) as: "Her name was Rodan, and she
lived on an island in Japan..."
