about

This track is one of fourteen from the 2019 album, “Memoirs of Hakeford Wart”, issued by the Toronto-based label, Strawberry Rain - a 3LP, expanded version of the now extremely rare album of the same name, self-published in Cape Town, South Africa, by Peter Wale in 1972.

The beautiful, impressionistic image which accompanies this track is the handiwork of the creator of the Youtube channel, Plaeides. Thank you, Dora!

lyrics

SOMETIME LOVIN'

Chorus:
Sometime lovin' gets you nowhere,
Sometime lovin' gets you down,
Sometime lovin's never got a decent guy around.
But, sometime lovin' is the only kind of lovin' that I know.
Yeah, sometime lovin' never lets me go.

Angel face, I love you but I think we're gonna fall apart.
Don't bring me down too quickly if I break your heart.
It’s not that I've stopped lovin' you -
I doubt I ever can -
I'm your fly-by-night, sometime lovin' man.

Chorus

Left a little woman in a flurry on a sultry Summer's day;
Oh, someone gonna find that girl a better place to stay.
But, she never will forget -
No, it's none of them that can -
Her fly-by-night, sometime lovin' man.

Chorus

Well, I've worked in the city in the country and even
On the railroad track.
I've ninety-seven lovers to whom I'm never goin' back.
Well, I'm not a genius and I'm only five feet tall,
But, Heaven only knows I love them all!

Chorus

about

Peter Wale Ithaca, New York

Coming to the US in 1974 to further my songwriting aspirations cost me dear. “Your stuff won't sell “, US labels said. Well, this one, taken from the 4-song LP of a concert I gave in 1972, DID. 300 3-LP vinyl sets of the FULL concert were re-issued in 2019 and sold out (I've yet to be paid, BTW, and kinda late in the game). Could've seen that coming, I guess.
3 free plays/track.
